I think Krauthammer got it backwards

First thing I thought of when I read it, too!

I think Hattaras is correct; Krauthammer has it backward. I’m a conservative and I think liberals are extremely evil. And stupid. Evil and stupid.

He was probably right when he said it (2002) but times have changed and the Liberals have changed. They've become emboldened and violent. Thanks Obama.

Are you even able to think?

Guess I shouldn't be here, either! Seriously, though, I seem to read a lot more here about how liberals must think we're stupid when they try to put over their evil schemes! :-/

How about a few charmers I’ve collected from PIAPS:

“God Bless the America we are trying to create.” Hillary Clinton

“Look, the average Democrat voter is just plain stupid. They’re easy to manipulate. That’s the easy part.”
Hillary Clinton, as told to Dick Morris in “Rewriting History”, 2005

“I don’t give a f**k about them. Get them out of here and get them away from me.” Hillary Clinton talking about Secret Service agents, “First Family Detail”, by Ron Kessler

“Maybe Mr. Stevens should have contacted me if he wanted to live, if he wanted security. He should have thought about that.” Hillary Clinton, Benghazi hearings, Oct. 2015

“I will get the NRA shut down for good if I become president. If we can ban handguns we will do it.” Hillary Clinton, interview with the Des Moines Register, Aug. 8, 2015.

“Yeah, I got him off. So what? Who cares? We got the evidence thrown out, so he walked. (laughs) I mean, sure, we knew he did it (laughs) but it didn’t matter.” Hillary Clinton, audio recording from 1982 discussing child rapist she defended when a criminal defense attorney in Arkansas.

“What the hell are we doing here? There’s no money here. Get me the hell out of here.” Hillary Clinton while driving through Upstate NY as Senator in “First Family Detail” by Ronald Kessler.

“The Benghazi thing will fade. The public isn’t interested.” Hillary Clinton, as reported in TIME Magazine, July 2014.

“I believe the primary role of the state is to teach, train and raise children. Parents have a secondary role.” Hillary Clinton, “It Takes A Village”.

2) “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.” – Charles Krauthammer

It seems like a good summation of the situation to me.

George Carlin’s quip about the true meaning of the word “bipartisan” would fit right into this list. He seemed to be channeling Samuel Clemens on that one.

Mark Twain —

“Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.”

“We have the best government that money can buy.”

“It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”

“To my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing but a low, mean, premature, Congressman.”

“Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can.”

“Congressman is the trivialist distinction for a full grown man.”

“All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity.”

If there were an invitation to add quotes I would add these in no particular order:

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."

(“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” Mark Twain)

"The trouble with most folks isn't so much their ignorance, as knowing so many things that ain't so." : Josh Billings - [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818-1885) American humorist and lecturer

"Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other points of view." -- William F. Buckley Jr.

Capitalism is when Man exploits Man, In Communism it’s the other way around.

A Communist is someone who has nothing and is willing to share it with you.

“Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. You can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.” —Ronald Reagan

The National Park Service, Run by the U S Department of the Interior, asks us," Please Do Not Feed the Animals" Their stated reason for this policy being that " The Animals will grow Dependant on the Handouts, and Then they will NEVER LEARN to TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES".

"When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - you know your nation is doomed." Ayn Rand

“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.” Daniel Webster

Economics and politics are intertwined and possibly the same thing.

"But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade."

--Karl Marx 1848
