"P.S. 99th percentile GMATs across the board. Beat that, doctor."

Huh. Another one. I live in Peoria (aka "Red county" in a blue state). The fact there's two of us on FR, outside the City (as NYC dwellers like to call it), may invalidate the premise of the article?

But facts are not admissible in a liberal argument.

I don't usually bring up my GMAT score, but in deconstructing a fallacious article, it's fair game.

Liberals have no common sense. They're not very bright people. They don't know it. They are completely unaware of it. They really do think they're smart.
I wonder where they ever got the idea they were intelligent. Most liberals I know have nothing in their heads but dust.

Me either.

It's bothered me this whole campaign cycle. I couldn't help but laugh that the dropout Michael Moore had the gall to portray Bush, the Harvard MBA, as stupid. Yeah, maybe he used connections to get in...but let me tell you, Daddy can't get you a passing grade once you're there!

What really frosted me, though, was the lack of respect that the Kerry campaign had for Bush voters and for the voting public in general. Remember Teresa and her "you've got to be an idiot not to support my husband's plan", or Edwards and his "only an ignorant person would vote for Bush."

In his Silverdome rally last week, Bush had one line that summed it up for me: "you may not agree with everything I say...". He gets it. He understands what Lincoln said (please correct me if I'm wrong): "you can please some of the people some of the time, and you can please some of the people all of the time. But, you can't please all of the people all of the time." Plain and simple. You may not agree with him--and many people won't--but that doesn't make you stupid!

There's plenty of room for differences of opinion in this country and in this administration. But, there's absolutely no room for generalization, mischaracterization, and name calling.
