Rachel is very intelligent. That being said, I can’t understand why she is so far left. Most liberals are not very smart. I am hoping that one of these days she wakes up and sees the light.
Camille Paglia did.
Intelligence + male hatred + lack of self esteem + anger + a fawning media that tells her she is wonderful = an angry lesbian whose only thought is to get even with those she feels have caused her to become what she has become: conservatives.
Who says Madcow is intelligent? Madcow? Always makes me chuckle how libtards put the word out how smart they are.
Nope, all you have to do is listen to her. She is a dysfunctional pervert idiot.
A fundamental flaw in the thinking of someone like Milton Friedman and Rush Limbaugh is their expectation that information can change peoples’ minds, that people can be persuaded by information.
Knowledge cannot move someone from a point of view that was not created by knowledge, any more than reason can change a perspective created by emotion.
Thomas Sowell is closer to the mark. People “think” the way they do based on their fundamental operating system. His book “Conflict of Visions” is perhaps the most insightful secular book I have ever read.
The only thing that can change that is pain, lots of close to the bone pain. Hence the aphorism, “A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality.” That might not be always true (I was born conservative and became oven more so over the past six decades) but for many it is true.
Rachel is very intelligent.
Really? She didn’t come across that way on her WRSI morning show; yapping endlessly about her “partner” and her doggy. Instead of playing music. Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap ad nauseaum.
It was vomitous.
