Replace TC’s name with OBlameA and it’s a perfect fit.
No one has ever, to my knowledge, published SAT scores, ACT scores, IQ tests, college transcripts, or anything to document that Obama is so darned smart. Jimmy Carter was supposed to have been extremely intelligent — nuclear engineer or something like that with the Navy.
Barry is in good company with Jimmuh.
In any prison, you can find hundreds of Barack Obamas. The only difference between them is Obama was the post turtle trained to use his skin color and sexual orientation to climb the political ladder with a lot of help from America’s enemies.
Intelligent? No.
Sociopath? Yes.
There’s actual “smart”, and then there’s “liberal smart”, which simply means supporting centralized authority.
B0dunhamsoetorosoebarkah’s mind is already made up. He has no original or creative thoughts. He refuses to comprehend or even listen to alternative views, data and theories.
Reminds me of a few mohammedans I have met. Everything that needs to be known is in “the book.”
Once your bona fides are established in this manner, you can proclaim all those who refuse any opinion on the platter as "stupid", thus making yourself even more intelligent in the eyes of your peers.
They don't distinguish between opinion and intelligence, making an upside down world where any sort of questioning or speculating about an issue in a new way proves you to be intellectually weaker.
Liberals never question the opinions they are handed, because being intellectually curious or open minded about issues is considered lowbrow or stupid.
It's a mental circle jerk, keep your ideas to yourself and work your wrist.
“O” is NOT smart. Look where THAT got us!!!
there are 57 states; Canada has a president; “Austrian” is a language; America is “20 centuries” old; Arabic is spoken in Afghanistan. He’s called the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) the Maldives, and declared it would be “unprecedented” for the Supreme Court to invalidate a law passed by Congress.
Well, even genius lapses.
One one else can and is willing to destroy Hillary Clinton with undeniable passion and logic like Ted Cruz
Think back a few years and remember that they published article after article after article remarking upon Al Gore’s enormous intellect.
Considering that the guy is dumb as a post, how is it possible that they mistook his dimness of wit for smart? Leaving aside that this tells you all you need to know about the relative intelligence of the scribbling class... they thought he was smart because he agreed with them.
We’ve been told again and again that Reagan and GW were dumb, and that Gore and Obama were smart. Actual intellect and accomplishment doesn’t enter in to the equation. Conformity does. That, and scribblers scribble what they are told to scribble. Remember, fast forward in the time machine, how many articles and headlines and magazine covers have assured us that Michelle epitomizes the height of fashion, “just like Jackie O”. Really?
Someone who would write that would write anything.
Hitting the nail on the head:
“Modern liberalism believes that there is an answer to every question and a solution to every problem — that is, provided someone smart enough is in charge. But the reality is that there is no brain in the world big enough for the task.”
I’m not one to demean intelligence. Too often we get into the trap of saying that smart people really aren’t effective, or that the “streetwise” person will always do better than a smart person. That’s not true. Smart people are very effective in life. They figure things out more quickly and easily than stupid people, or even people of average intelligence. However, history has shown that intelligence alone is not enough. It has to be grounded in morals and humility. Example # 1 of intelligence not grounded in morals and humility is the Woodrow Wilson, probably the most evil man we’ve ever had as president. I am glad to hear someone like Alan Dershowitz say that Ted Cruz is brilliant. I am glad he is smart and becoming more and more effective in using it.
There’s absolutely no doubt that Karl Marx had a humongous intellect. Engels and Lenin well may have been even smarter. Moreover, if we could give IQ tests to Comrade Stalin and Chairman Mao, I’ll bet they’d be off the charts.
But as hath asked a well-known ex-FLOTUS, “What difference does it make?”
Speaking of whom...
I watched Ted Cruz during his valiant effort to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you watched it as well. If he used it once, he used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he was right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.
I’ve posted my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.
*************
WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!
“When the servants of the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
That was Thomas Jefferson warning that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency.
It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that unbacked fiat currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw another problem ahead.
In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”
If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those growing hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.
And this is for you who believe that we’re ALL equally screwed under this dishonest, fraudulent fiat money system: Inflation DOES NOT impact everyone at the same time and level. THOSE WHO GET THEIR HANDS ON THAT “MONEY” FIRST – BEFORE THE INFLATION ERODES ITS VALUE – SUFFER FAR LESS THAN THOSE OF US FURTHER DOWN THE FOOD CHAIN. THINK ABOUT IT (unless you’re an obama voter, in which case, let us know how you FEEL about that).
We won’t have even a CHANCE at an honest government until we again have HONEST MONEY.
That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.
We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.

PS: I was a 3 year member of the national board of CATS (Citizens for an Alternative Tax System), the precursor to the current Fair Tax organization. I fully support the concept of a CONSUMPTION TAX over the current Marxist INCOME TAX. That said, UNTIL WE GET BACK TO HONEST “MONEY”, WERE REARRANGING DECK CHAIRS ON A SINKING SHIP.
PPS: A word about the brilliance of this scheme hatched in 1913 by the elites: Economics is called “the dismal science” for a reason. Freepers are a pretty sharp group, and most who get this far will grasp the importance of getting back to a Constitutionally sound money system. But hand this to the “guy on the street” and his eyes will glaze over, he’d start drooling before he hit the third paragraph, throw it down, declare you crazy and stomp off in search of a much needed drink. We can’t solve a problem until more of us recognize that there IS ONE!
Same thing happened to Ronald Reagan. It seems when libs are having a difficult time trying to analyze a true conservative all they have to resort to is that the guy is an idiot.
It must be obviously true. Who needs to know more than their leftist professors taught them?
Who needs to read Tacitus or know what natural law is all about? Or what our Founders did that was truly spectacular.
All they need to know is that their professors at Columbia are pointing them to something that might resemble the Truth.
So, who is the real dummy? Ted Cruz or the loony leftists who wouldn't know a really true Truth if it hit them in the face with a 2 by 4?
The fact Cruz is smart and well spoken scares the left. The typical smear tactics start with either 1.) You are stupid or 2.) You are a hater.
Calling senator Cruz stupid is not going to stick.
Calling him a hater is tough because he is hispanic, and is clever enough to turn most “gotcha” questions back on the originator.
The best they have at the moment is to call him extreme, but that is a much weaker attack than stupid/hater.
....It seems safe to say that America’s 26th president was “smart.” But it was not he whom historian Michael Beschloss christened “probably the smartest guy ever to become president.” Nor was it John Adams, nor the famously learned Thomas Jefferson, nor Woodrow Wilson, the only Ph.D.-president. That title, of course, belongs to Barack Obama (B.A., Columbia; J.D., Harvard), whose intellect is the stuff of legend. Only a MENSA standout like him could state that, in columnist Jack Kelly’s pithy summation,
there are 57 states; Canada has a president; “Austrian” is a language; America is “20 centuries” old; Arabic is spoken in Afghanistan. He’s called the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) the Maldives, and declared it would be “unprecedented” for the Supreme Court to invalidate a law passed by Congress.Well, even genius lapses.

Obama’s Pakistani roommate had a fake degree from Columbia. Does anyone remember Obama going to school there, or graduating from there? But, no matter, it was real enough for the Saudis to influence his way into Harvard. At least Cruz was smart enough to get into classes Obama couldn’t, and he didn’t need the Saudis to advance his educational career.
