I generally find that about 99% of people in both categories are morons. There are stupid conservatives, and there are stupid liberals I'm not sure about the percentage, but I don't disagree that both viewpoints have their nitwits. There are some stupid liberals around here. But I really shouldn't say or imply that liberals are "stupid". I just think their talents are not in areas that require analytical thinking. For example, there are busloads of liberals going to Baghdad to act as "human shields". Do they REALLY think American foreign policy is going to be affected by this? If they would stop and think for a minute they would realize that they are simply risking their lives for a lost cause. How smart is that? Last night, at the grammy awards, I would wager that 95% or more of the people attending that ceremony were liberals. Many (not all) are talented people (more are liberal than are truly talented, I can assure you of that<g>). I'll listen to Bonnie Raitt play the blues any day. And I'll even tolerate her political statements at concerts (which she almost always makes). But honestly, she doesn't know sh*t from shinola about foreign affairs. Just without the slightest gumption on the matter.

>>Seeing as conservatives, by default, are omniscient. Not omniscient. But generally brighter people. In my view. >I find liberals, as a group, to be analytically challenged. I think it may be a left-brain/right-brain thing. What a haughty statement. It never dawns on him that the deficiency might be in him. Apparently, way back when, he came to a fork in the road, one way said conservative and the other said liberal. And he can't for the life of him understand why some people may take the liberal fork...... ted
