Many of the " intellectuals ", throught American history, have been on the wrong side of issues, as well as fighting for anarchists, spies, and murdering louts. The Sacho & Venzetti ytials pulled in a parading and writing horde of supposed intellectual leading lights. They were also praising such outright thugs as the Black Panthers and today, Mumia.

Again, you're assuming that because you don't know much, neither does anyone else here. That everyone else is debating from strength of factual knowledge and you are attempting refutiation, based on soke, is your problem.

It would behoove you, to NOT post opinions based of little to no factual information.

Wrong. One learns, if one learns at all, by debating. Also I wonder if you aren't applying a double standard...simply because you don't like my opinions.

Wrong. Did it ever occur to you that I post to a conservative form under the name Liberallarry precisely because I question my opinions and value some of what I find here?

Many of the " intellectuals ", throughout American history, have been on the wrong side of issues

The heart of the matter.

Many intellectuals (no slanderous quotation marks) have also been on the right side of issues. The fact is these issues are complicated, many supposed facts are not facts at all, many interpretations are possible and believable. No sources are entirely trustworthy (but we must give at least provisional trust to some if we are to know anything at all) because all people have limitations and biases, and make mistakes. I make no apology for being human, for being wrong. There's no shame in it.
