Considering that liberalism is the law of the land and has been for decades, and marches forward at an ever faster pace, I don't think it's reasonable to say that liberals are incapable of understanding the real world. They understand things far better than conservatives, who seem to think they can achieve things just by being right (in the factual sense). That is profoundly stupid and betrays a complete lack of understanding about how to get things done politically.

Exactly! As much as John Hawkins may be correct on his 7 points, I think Krauthammer has the meaning of the nature of the parties / ideologies backwards.

I usually think of liberals as "evil" and conservatives as "stupid" for their inabilities to realize and eloquently convey it. Even armed with the truth and the facts to counter liberal lies and mischaracterizations, most conservatives can't seem to verbalize their arguments or be convincing outside of their own environment.

To underestimate and think of someone evil as stupid, when they simply march on executing their evil plans virtually unimpeded, is, in itself, stupid. Ronald Reagan called Soviet Union an Evil Empire, not Stupid Empire because he understood the true nature of the enemy.

There is a reason that Republicans are usually called the Stupid Party and Democrats the Evil Party.
