People can be very smart, and make idiotic choices, when they hold false assumptions about how the universe works.

Liberals start with false assumptions about how the universe works.

"Is it possible to be a democrat and not be an idiot?"

Of course. Some psychopaths are quite intelligent.

Technically, yes, it is possible.

But anyone claiming to be a "democrat" (proglib commrat) will be expected to act and say the same things as the majority of "democrats" that actually are idiots.

Perhaps a dead Democrat would be a bit smarter?

Yes, but only by being maliciously, intentionally evil.

The rest are just idiots.

"Is it not High Time for the People of this Country explicitly to declare, whether they will be Freemen or Slaves? It is an important Question which ought to be decided. It concerns us more than any Thing in this Life. The Salvation of our Souls is interested in the Event: For wherever Tyranny is establish'd, Immorality of every Kind comes in like a Torrent. It is in the Interest of Tyrants to reduce the People to Ignorance and Vice. For they cannot live in any Country where Virtue and Knowledge prevail. The Religion and public Liberty of a People are intimately connected; their Interests are interwoven, they cannot subsist separately; and therefore they rise and fall together. For this Reason, it is always observable, that those who are combin'd to destroy the People's Liberties, practice every Art to poison their Morals. How greatly then does it concern us, at all Events, to put a Stop to the Progress of Tyranny. It is advanced already by far too many Strides. We are at this moment upon a precipice. The next step may be fatal to us. Let us then act like wise Men; calmly took around us and consider what is best to be done. Let us converse together upon this most interesting Subject and open our minds freely to each other. Let it be the topic of conversation in every social Club. Let every Town assemble. Let Associations & Combinations be everywhere set up to consult and recover our just Rights.

" The Country claims our active Aid.
That let us roam; & where we find a Spark
Of public Virtue, blow it into Flame."

- Samuel Adams

I am a Democrat and not an idiot.

I registered as a Democrat so I could vote against Hitlery in the primary.

Since I live in California there's little chance I will get an opportunity to vote for a Republican capable of winning for an election.

However, I can now vote for liberal nutso candidates in the primary in hopes they will be unpalatable to the general electorate allowing a reasonable Republican to squeeze through in the general. Or vote for the lesser of two evil Democrats.

Yes there are some Democrats that can think with up to 10% of their brains and occasionally support reasonable policies for the sake of business, agricultural, or suburban interests.

It’s a genetic flaw so technically you are not being politically correct if you label them idiots. They’re sick MF’rs.

Not after the 1970s. That was the last hurrah for sanity in the dem party. I’m not including Carter in that assessment, I’m just saying you have to go back to the 1970s to find sane dems.

This article should be in the Captain Obvious column.

Alas, to many, many people it’s not.

Yes. But the answer is nuanced.

Let's reverse the tables. Until Trump, it would be perfectly reasonable to assume most Republicans are idiots. Look at the pre-Trump "leaders" of the party: Ryan, McCain, Romney, Bohner, Michael Steele, Graham, etc. It was a cornucopia of dolts, yes-men, and appeasement monkeys.

We all know Democrats. Many of them are decent people, and probably empathize with conservative/rational thought...they don't like ISIS, they don't like guttural entertainment, and probably have a shotgun or two in their home. They may have had parents who were Dems and haven't changed registration. They probably despise one or two conservative policies (taxes, regulation, abortion) and that keeps them pulling "D" (no jokes).

But... they don't like where their party leadership is taking them and like Republicans in 2012, they feel there isn't much that can be done except for not give money to the DNC.

The time is now to strike, to win back these Americans who aren't part of the 12-16% vocal left that give money to Pacifica radio. But calling them idiots isn't a good start....

Yes.

There are two types of Democrats: (1) idiots and (2) crooks.

Democrat politicians are crooks who recognize that they can take advantage of the idiots.

The actual title of the article is:

“Is it possible to be a democrat and not be an a$$hole?”

Although this is an intirely different question, many of the same answers will still apply.

” Tom Steyer, who made his fortune in oil and gas, called Donald Trump’s action a “traitorous act of war.” “

Some of these leftist f**%%ers had better start watch their mouths because their anger issues seem to command their words more than their brain.
