The science is settled: US liberals really are the dumbest creatures on the planet
The Telegraph
June 23,2011 James Delingpole EXCERPT: Today I am in New York on my publicity tour for Watermelons and as I sat at breakfast this morning, chomping on an Ess-a-bagel and reading Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics I found myself wondering – not for the first time – why it is that liberal-lefties manage to be so utterly wrong about everything. “Because they’re stupid,” said a libertarian friend of mine. “Oh come on, not all of them surely? A bit misguided, maybe but…” I protested. “No really they’re stupid because they’re not interested in facts. They just want to construct their pretty little narrative about the world, regardless of whether or not it has any bearing on reality. And then they want to dump it on us. And ruin our lives. So not just stupid but evil too.” LINK ======================================================================================================== Some of the Conservatives and Moderates are that way too. It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies. –William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952 |

RE: The science is settled: US liberals really are the dumbest creatures on the planet
wasn't there a recent study that shows liberalism had a genetic component and was built in by brain structure?
“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. – J Robert Oppenheimer. |

Some of the Conservatives and Moderates are that way too. Some, just some..... Please see my signature, they are all politicians........ They have to use imaginary hobgoblins, because then, they can offer THEIR solutions, not THE solutions. Science lost out to politics from the very start, it never stood a chance, ask Al Gore, Revel, Keeling, Lindzen, etc, etc, etc. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken. The hobgoblins have to be imaginary so that "they" can offer their solutions, not THE solutions. |
