>> The world does not consider them the smart ones, except for Friedman. I know all of them but the last guy and I have nothing to learn from any of them: And there is the problem. Because you disagree ideologically with these people you block them out of your "learning". As a result, there is a gaping hole in your knowledge that coincides with your dogma. (Bastiat was a cheat, since he wasn't in the last 50 years). I won't counter your lies against them one by one. But clearly you are ignorant by choice. How could you possibly know that Milton Friedman is the greatest economist of the last century when you don't know anything about him? No rational person would dismiss Krauthammer or Will as a "liar". Richard Nixon certainly wasn't a "pathological" liar (Barack Obama has told far more lies than Nixon ever did, and more egregious ones as well). He was a liar and a criminal but he was also highly intelligent. John Bolton, while you may not agree with him politically, has a better understanding of the internal workings of diplomacy than just about anyone. He certainly is neither nuts nor stupid. No intelligent person who knows anything about Bolton would call him "stupid". There isn't a person in Obama's administration that I'm aware of who has the raw intellect of John Bolton. I do not know who it would be. But you made my point for me. Your assaults on these people who are/were among the brightest anywhere tells the story.
