Taken from an article over at DU. I don't know where to start. I am especially fond of the sentence that begins with "In a country where more than half the population falls below the average IQ" What more can I say. "I really think the problem is that we as liberals are in general far more intelligent, well reasoned and educated, and will go to astonishingly great lengths to convince people of the integrity and validity of our fair and well thought out arguments. The audience, in case anyone has been paying attention, isn't always getting it! I suspect the problem is not the speaker - it is most of the audience. Our problem with getting our message across to people outside "the choir" is our understanding of the intelligence of our greater audience. [In a country where more than half the population falls below the average IQ, we aren't playing our cards right.} I agree that vituperative language and bellicose attacks do more harm than good and should be avoided, but likewise, 30 minute speeches don't play to the 30 second attention-span crowd, and these are the guys whose single-minded lack of attention to details and whose votes in swing states are giving us heartburn."

"In a country where more than half the population falls below the average IQ"

Lake Wobegon, where all the children have above average IQ.

Which algore are they talking about. the fat one, the skinny one, the one with a beard, the one with the airbrushed pants, or the one that promised everything to everybody?

You can tell that paragraph was written by a brain dead liberal. They just don't get it. Conservatism is WAY over their heads.

The truth is, one of the best-established facts in social psychology is that Republicans tend to have more formal education and higher IQs than Democrats. It's just that Republican philosophy is not churned out by crack-pot professors, the self-appointed guardians of the interests of 'da woikin' stiffs'. Oh wait, that was in the 50's when I was growing up. Now it's 'self-appointed guardians of certifiably oppressed racial groups, gays and lesbians.'
