And I hate it that "intellectual" seems to have become an insult on FR these days.

The problem with intellectuals is that they tend to think big thoughts but do nothing about them. Too many intellectuals in government is part of the reason it is in the shape it is in, and to listen to folks pine for intellectualism in their candidates reminds of this guy:

I'll take the do'ers like Sarah Palin over the intellectuals like Adlai here any day of the week.
