“Liberals have this terrible and annoying habit of congratulating themselves for their intellectual heft merely because they hold liberal views.”
The pretentious punks, here on “Main Street”, hold their noses up about five feet high because they’re “brilliant, intellectual, Progressives geniuses” in the face of all those “knuckle-dragging, gun-loving, ignorant Christian morons”, while those Christian morons a few generations ago brought forth a constitution that was intended to protect us from such things which is now being undermined by them.
(How irritating.)

I live in the People’s Republic of New Jersey. A few years ago, I went to a baseball game with a neighbor of mine. Somehow, the subject of politics came up (probably during a lengthy pitching change.)
When I told him I was a conservative, his (quite sincere) reply was, “I don’t understand. You’re a really smart guy. How can you be a conservative?”
As if “smart” and “conservative”were polar opposites. My reply was, “I’m conservative because I’m smart.” End of discussion.
