I’ve noticed something with you. Like your idol, Obama, you need to constantly reassure yourself that you are smart. Since you don’t fare well in factual, rational debate, you [also like Obama] fall back on Alinsky tactics. You call other people stupid. Even when you are proven to be 100% wrong, you never admit it. And then there’s your petty, childish and pathetic game of, ‘I know something you don’t know.’ Somewhere in this world there may be someone who is impressed by that silliness, but it isn’t me.

Your approach fails with me for three reasons. A, if you’re going to call people stupid, you need to command a certain level of respect re your own intellect. Otherwise it’s like a chubby, knock-kneed guy calling Usain Bolt, ‘Slow.’ What is Bolt supposed to do? Die laughing?

B, when it comes to calling me personally stupid, that would be a lot more effective if I didn’t know my own IQ. But I do know it. My high school guidance counselor told it to me when he was trying to talk me into skipping the rest of high school and going straight to college. Ever since that day, I have had no regard for anyone who tries to play the, ‘I’m smarter than you,’ game. Odds are 99.9 that you aren’t.

C, you have demonstrated yourself to be dishonest again and again. I can’t take dishonest people serously. A person doesn’t have to be a genius to be honest. They don’t have to be highly educated or broadly accomplished. All they need is integrity. Once a person makes the decision to sacrifice their own integrity, they needn’t expect deference from anyone else.
