Not that I am saying Thornton is wise or intelligent, but the sign of a wise and intelligent person is to know the limitations of their own intellect. On what they know and/or do not know. And also know when to keep one’s mouth shut. Something those on the View have no clue about.
That applies to a lot of people on a lot of subjects these days, and it’s politically blind.
