Most people are smart enough to solve most of their own problems, if the government would just get out of the way.

My wife and I aren’t the smartest people in the world, well, maybe my wife is, but we can solve most of our own problems without the government’s interference.

Snooty to the max.

He sniffs that Brown is just a model in a women’s magazine. But if we’re judging people by what they were doing when they were 20, doesn’t that make Obama a coke snorting Marxist?

Clearly, we need the smartest people in the room to be solving our problems. The big brains. The people who, in high school, were likely dunked in the toilet and pantsed by people like Scott Brown."

That was me, you snarling b1tch.

A member of Intertel and a Republican.

By "Big Brains" what this c*******r means is a cookie-cutter indoctrinated product of HIS education system.

Not just government, but the proper kind of government considering Scott Brown now is in the government. And he has government provided training, but again not the right kind and not backed with pinky extended Ivy League disdain.

"Clearly," the author thinks he's one of them. And just as "clearly" to the rest of us he's a room temperature IQ. The only thing outstanding about him is his towering arrogance in thinking that he has the right to impose his ideas on the rest of us (kind of like his magic black man god in the white house in that regard.)

Isn't it strange how liberals and pseudo-intellectuals can look in the mirror and see something completely different from what everyone else sees? He needs to read Sowell's Intellectuals and Society And yes I'm enjoying the discomforture of the leftists just as much as Cartman enjoyed feeding Tenorman's parents to him in the chili. However, look at the Democratic leaderships respons. They're considering passing the health care takover by legislative trickery. "Clearly," they haven't learned anything.

I’m about up to *here* with this elitist crap. Look where it’s gotten us. I don’t care if they think Brown is an intellectual lightweight, or Sarah Palin, or Dan Quayle before them. (And for the record I thought Dan was a pretty sharp guy, not that it mattered to them.)

I want someone who has a heart for what is right for America. Not right for Europe or some socialist ideal. Someone like the rest of us. I’ll take ten - no, several dozen - of those over one bozo with his nose in the air or his head in the clouds who thinks he has all the answers.

I’ll take a nice, average person. Surely we can’t do worse.
++++++++++++++

Right! And what they don’t GET is that it’s not the job of the politician to ‘fix’ the problems of the world, but to get out of the way of the rest of society, by creating and maintaining Freedom that allow the brains of the world (to entertain this dolt’s argument for just a second) to introduce and foster solutions.

What has your government solution gotten us in the 20th C. pal but misery, suffering and death.

Let’s think about that for a second...NO THANKS.

Yes, I’ll take average folk that defend this nation and allow her finer citizens to innovate, create and solve problems like we’ve done from the dawn of this nation.

“Truth is, the problems this world faces are far more complex and far more difficult to fix than people like Scott Brown can fathom.”

No they are not.

With an attitude like this it isn’t hard to see how moonbats always get around to stocking the jails and graveyards with people who disagree with them.

Truth is, the problems this world faces are far more complex and far more difficult to fix than people like Scott Brown can fathom. We know this, don’t we, friends? We understand this, innately. The problems with the banking industry, climate change, energy, healthcare, foreign relations, and the economy are the kinds of problems that require serious people with serious backgrounds.
What's so hard?

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidise it - Ronald Reagan

~ We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? ~ Ronald Reagan

This guy typifies the delusional left that somehow believe they are smarter most. At first it can be infuriating but after meeting several of these misguided misfits it is easy to see that are only compensating for their own lack of intellect. They do so by creating simple abstractions that don’t represent anything real and then pretend they have knowledge. They reject the obvious to allow them positions that seem “out of the box” to appear bright and smart. The truth is in fact quite the opposite. Unfortunately we have a whole University system that gives them a platform for their ignorance.

“The problems with the banking industry, climate change, energy, healthcare, foreign relations, and the economy are the kinds of problems that require serious people with serious backgrounds.”

Unfortunately, it’s clear to the *actual* smart people that the “solutions” being pursued by the Dems range from foolish to outright insane. Plus, since you admit you’ve been suckered in to the “climate change” lunacy, you’re implicitly admitting you’re an idiot. :-)

“Former models are definitely not the kind of people we need working on these problems. Even 30-year national guard veterans are not the kind of people we need working on these problems. We need people who have dedicated their lives to understanding how the world works, where the pain points are, where the leverage needs to be applied and how much money needs to be raised to turn the ship in the right direction.”

Sure, accomplished, experienced, brilliant people like...0bama!

Y’all are truly fools. Enough said.

You know this guy is hold up on Nantucket Island and doesnt think twice about blasting others for not being diversified in their culture, education and life. Well what is the difference between a hillbilly in west virginia only hanging out with his friends at a local bar and one from nantucket only hanging out with his friends at a wine bar? Neither have a good perspective on what the world is really like.
