BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: To Stanton, Michigan, or what's left of it, anyway. This is Dawn, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Hello, Rush. I would like to address the lady who wanted to know what smart is. I consider myself very intelligent. I'm not very smart. The person who walks off the curb into the line of traffic and has to run back to the curb to be safe is smart. The person who looks both ways first before crossing the street is intelligent. I pray that your intelligence sees us through this mess that all of our men fought for in World War II.

JILLETTE: If you please everybody on anything you're doing something wrong. But luckily there's no chance of that. I just think that individuals are more important than a whole kind of groupthink and that individuals can do more than a top down kind of thinking. I don't think the government can solve all our problems or should try.
HOLT: Amen.
KING: We do have 300 million people. You can be individuals as much as you like --
MILLER: We do.
KING: -- but somebody's gotta think for the masses.

I thought this was a stunning soundbite from Larry King that encapsulates the difference in attitude between Liberals and Conservatives/Libertarians.
Liberals believe people are stupid and helpless, and require an all-caring, all-powerful government to provide them with not only every need but to tell them how they must think.
Conservatives and Libertarians, on the other hand, actually believe in the power of the individual.
To the elitist (especially the media) we are all but a bunch of bleating, ignorant sheep that must be led, fed and groomed or left to perish.
Larry King never prepares for his so-called interviews and never asks a follow-up question--ever. Lazy, lazy man.
I would ignore anyone who uses the term "the masses" not that it changes anything that Larry uses this Marxist term -- I've ignored him for decades.
