A telling remark. It should read: "Because he was not an "intellectual", he knew what he was doing and why."
Liberals love to brand anyone who disagrees with their discredited ideology as too stupid and simple-minded for them to debate; this saves them the embarrassment of having to defend their ideas that have failed every time they've been tried, and allowing the entire world to see how much smarter the "stupid" conservative is than they are. This is why they needed to create a radio network where liberals listen to liberals calling liberals. A dissenting voice of logic in the mix would shatter their whole creaky world view like a hammer smashing a Zima bottle.
