I'm not entirely sure how smart he actually is. I mean, he wasn't exactly educated in the finest schools (or even the most mediocre of ones), and not exactly with tutors that are noble prize winning or anything.
He knows his own religion, he knows his own history, he probably knows to some extent other things, in regards to whats relevant to him, and he repeats the kind of stuff you hear children say on the playground or that you read in a greeting card.
Hell, take Barney the purple dinosaur, and listen to him, the stuff that purple dinosaur says, sounds more sophisticated and advanced. Never the less, in the simple minded cartoon world of progressives, this passes as wisdom.
