Shades of “Typhoid” Murray Rothbard, or Lew (sic) Rockwell.

The condescending intelligentsia of the LP were always pills - and not half as smart as they thought they were.

His latest book is Delusional Democracy - Fixing the Republic Without Overthrowing the Government.

His book is ranked # 1,111,509 on Amazon.

Beck's "Arguing with Idiots" is # 1,556.

Rush's "The Way Things Ought To Be" (from 1993!) is # 282,252.

Jealous much?

The author is obviously a poopy-pants and likely has cooties as well.

Joel's head of an environmental consulting company.

well that explains his rant.....he's going to loose alot of money invested in all the environmental scams...including Global Warming investments...if the Republicans win. Heck, China is claiming all the rights for that which runs the solar and wind junk they're pushing...so not only will we be held captive by the Middle East for Oil, but captive by China for powering our solar and wind equipment. This guy stands to loose money...huge amounts..as do all those in Washington and otherwise who have invested big in these environmental scams.

A larger number of Democrats in 2008 were “unaware” that Congress (house and senate) was already being run by the Democrats.

And they still don't know it to this day.

[PaleoBob]

Run-on name-calling with no substance or even any dispute with the core beliefs of the conservative personalities mentioned or those of their audiences and followers. I can call the guy who wrote this an idiot. There, see. I did it.

Anybody can call someone else an idiot. There’s nothing to it.

"Poorly educated, terribly informed, intellectually deficient and downright stupid people need idols"

You mean those stupid people who picked an idol who needs a teleprompter to keep on track, who cannot pronounce corpsman, who visited 57 states in the USA,....... am I getting close?

[Canedawg]

I know I sound terribly condescending

He's a jackass.

It is a pleasure to have contact with one so well informed about the “dark” side of society, those poor souls who listen to people like Limbaugh, Beck, Palin and the rest. After reading your rather lengthy post I simply chuckled. That there are idiots among us is certain, what is also certain is that you are one of them only more pompous.

Who conducted this research? Pew??? Yeah, I can trust that. I don't need a survey to know that the NY Times, Phila. Inquirer, CNN etc. butcher facts all the time. Further, anecdotal evidence has shown me that people who derive their news from such outlets are, for the most part, “ignorant.” They only know what the leftist press want them to know. Intellectually inquisitive they are not. They prefer belief-reinforcement.
