"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?

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...

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.

Back before I got into recovery and my liberalism went into remission, I fancied myself much smarter than the plain, principled folk I grew up around in North Carolina.
Thankfully I lived to realize just how ignorant I really was.
Anyway, being intelligent (not that I am) is greatly overrated, I can think of many character traits I would rather have.
