"I think it’s important to have a president who asks a lot of questions, who is intellectually curious, who seeks out contrary points of view, who doesn’t just surround himself with people who see the world the same way he does…(In an alternate universe, with a tough interviewer....)
Host: Senator Clinton, then, could you name your top three staffers who believe that the Democratic Party is dead-wrong on abortion?
Sen. Clinton: Well... ah... you know... er.... That's different.

One of the more charming conceits of the Left is that conservatives (Republicans, the middle class) – actually, anyone who doesn’t embrace its worldview – are, well, stupid. Yet to hear the left tell it, they have no ties with the Nazis because they believed in elitism and superiority while communists believe in the equality of the individual.
The Houston Comical is good for a couple of idiotorials and letters to the editor every year that explain the reason academic and journalist professions are bloated with liberals is because they are "smarter".

The process of becoming a lefty involves the refusal to acknowledge history, the psychological renunciation of one's American citizenship, and apparently, a demonstrably weak grasp of cause and effect.
The Left's belief structure is not cerebral at all, but emotional; read juvenile. Who's the dummy here?

Part of that is a bed of their own making. By rigidly controlling the terms of the Great Debate in the rarefied air of academia, they run into problems out in the Big Room. They have to give the illusion of entertaining contrary views, but only to serve them as objects of ridicule. Facts are like kryptonite, so must be suppressed, spun or ignored. I read the papers and watch their news blurbs though, simply because armed with life experiences and a little reverse engineering, the truth can still be discerned fairly quickly. Probably the same reason everyone read Pravda, without believing any of it.

Thomas Jefferson (the quintessential renaissance president) decimated our Navy, leaving us vulnerable to the British in 1812. A raving Francophile even while the guillotine was in full swing, his much-vaunted IQ didn’t keep him from living way beyond his means. (He died deeply in debt.) Nor did it allow him to perceive the hypocrisy of lamenting the institution of slavery while living off the toil of slaves. Wow, the author takes on Jefferson and bitch slaps him.
Great post

I enjoyed reading this. The author is witty and observant and writes clearly, just like many non-liberal authors.

Reminds me of a story I recently heard about the new Hillary R. Clinton stamp that kept coming detached from the envelope. It seems people were spitting on the wrong side...

Maybe they'd heard Kerry's VVAW diatribe & mistook her for a returning Viet Nam vet...

Gore rolled his eyes, smirked, grimaced, sighed audibly – and stopped just short of holding up a sign that read: "I’m not with stupid." Feder forgets that Gore was walking up to Bush until Bush dismissed him with a nod of the head. I still believe that Gore was going to hit Bush or something.

Just for the record, a person has to be dead for a minimum of ten years to get their pic on a US stamp.

Republicans should pray that Democrats keep talking about Bush’s intellectual inferiority. More than any other factor, it was Al Gore’s disdain for Bush that lost him the 2000 election.Stupid is as stupid does. May the democrats all implode!
