It's one thing to be ignorant but know it. It's much worse to be ignorant and think you know something. Republicans and conservatives don't know everything. But liberals have put themselves in the position of believing that they are the sole repository for all that is good, beautiful, and true in life. The fact that they actually know next to nothing about how things really work clearly illustrates them as the jackasses they are as the mideast developments are proving. Not for nothing is their symbol a donkey.

I have to make an observation about Liberals which may just be a quirk of the way I understand people.

All the time growing up, I lived in a neighborhood which was 'colorful'. I believe that is the correct term, and you must know what I mean. It was borderline ghetto. It is now GHETTO. It was ethnic and black and everything else in between. Hard working factory types and real down and outers. Anyway, kids from our neighborhood are either doing hard time or are the presidents of major universities. We learned that the whole world was not made up of homes with white picket fences and 'Sunday go to meet'n' types. My brother and his buddies could do calculus in their heads, (brother has 142 IQ) but they also shot hoops with kids who carried knives and cut school at will. Everyone growing up there became, by association, totally street smart in addition to whatever else they ended up learning on their way in life.

What I am saying is that I have never in my life met ANY Liberals who comprehend what this other side of life in America is. Yet Liberals perpetually espouse the merits of that element. There are none. I know.
