"Intellectual Left"! Give me a break!

There is nothing near intellectual about the left. An intellectual uses truth, logic, and pragmatism to engage in science and debate. A pseudo-intellectual (liberal, lefty, commie, socialist) is the 180 degree of a true intellectual, they are vermin that confuse the process. I'm so sick and tired of our side calling them "intellectuals" I don't know whether to take a good crap, or go blind. Please stop calling these worthless douchebags "intellectuals" it gives real intellectuals a bad name.

I misspelled the phrase. If you re-read my post, you will see that I was trying to say "intellectually dishonest". That phrase does not mean liberals are in any way "intellectuals"- it's a characteristic that refers to a category of dishonest behavior including hyperbole, fallacious arguments, arguing by exception, etc. Trust me- I too share your frustration at fellow conservatives who describe the Left as "elites" or "intellectuals". They are, by and large, mental midgets. And I don't call the liberal professors "intelllectuals"- to me, they are sheltered academics who are removed from reality.
