STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES
(the self-anointed 'intelligentsia' and 'intelligence' are mutually exclusive constructs)

You must be arrogant to be a liberal. That's why we now hear this incredible outpouring of bad mouthing of Bush voters as idots, morons, uneducated, etc...They are saying now what they thought all along...
Kerry was the most liberal sanator in 20 years, that meant he was the most arrogant in 20 years...Guess what, no matter how he tried,he could not hide such a disgusting charater flaw and red America was smart enough to see the ARROGANCE AND THE DECEPTION.

Does anyone have an idea what the IQ of Bush voters vs Kerry voters may be?

My theory is that ours is higher.

Except for Gerald Ford pardoning Nixon and handing the Presidency to Carter, liberals (Democrats) have not gotten a majority of the vote since Johnson in 1964.

Now, what is that old adage about a fool being someone who keeps doing the same thing and expecting different results?

The "West Wing's" Martin Sheen, after the 2000 election, pronounced the president "a moron."

This from a guy who needs weeks of rehearsal to sound like an economics professor.

Martin Sheen - High School graduate. Flunked the entrance exam to the University of Dayton
Whoopi Goldberg - High School graduate.
Michael Moore - High School graduate. College dropout

Distinguished Academicians and Professors of Thinkology. Emminently qualified to judge the President's intelligence - and YOURS!

In my experience, a lot of people like to pass judgement on the intelligence of those who either agree or disagree with them.

Liberals mostly.

In my experience it's always liberals who pass judgment on the intelligence of those who disagree with them.

My favorite instance of this happened when Rush Limbaugh was just beginning to be heard nationally about 16 years ago. My socialist father-in-law said "Have you heard that new guy on the radio? I hear he's a real idiot..."

Before he could finish, I interrupted. "You mean Rush Limbaugh? He's no idiot. You wait and see. He's going to be a huge success." All my in-laws stared at me as if I were some Neanderthal.

Most liberals are elitists and have much of their self esteem tied up in their putative IQs. I just read a pretty good book about this, The Uncivil War : How a New Elite is Destroying Our Democracy. A quote from the editorial review:

"The New Elite are the self-proclaimed smartest people in the land."

(And re Rush Limbaugh: Somewhere I read that his combined SAT scores were around 1530. So take that, elitist snobs!)

I just finished The Uncivil War myself. A Google of FR seems to indicate that one person has it linked in his homepage, but other than that it seems not to have been discussed here. And yet the book just showed up in my local library, without my having requested it. So it must have some buzz, and indeed a college prof and I discussed the book yesterday, and he apparently had been hearing about it (which is pretty natural, considering its sociological critique of modern higher education).

It just seems odd that no review of this book seems to have been posted on FR.
