Most of the morons are college educated, some are extremely intelligent... As a matter of fact, it’s really not a matter of intelligence, but morality (or short of that, of common sense).
Let us never ever forget that the great geniuses who award the geniuses, the Nobel Prize committee, gave one of the unrepentant, still-murdering, state-treasury thieving inventors of modern terrorism the Peace Prize.
They don’t say “smart as the devil” for nothing.
That would be more appropriate. Another thing is the simple fact that while people can be very intelligent in certain areas, they can be ignorant/stupid in a host of others. A glance at the statements by some people in the sciences who support Obama reveals troubling ignorance of economics (among a number of subjects). I would bet that is the one area where most Americans are the most ignorant. Like my near ninety year old pappy, they have no idea how free-market capitalism works.
