That&#8217;s how the Left has controlled the vote for years &#8211; calling conservative people stupid and making the brainless sheep feel like they&#8217;re smart for following the herd. It&#8217;s how the good Reverend Wright soaked his congregation, it&#8217;s how Bill Clinton stayed in office for eight years. It&#8217;s how the &#8220;smart, educated&#8221; Democrats ended up with two candidates who can&#8217;t summon enough common sense to answer truthfully &#8211; or even the same way twice.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s how the Democrats ended up with two candidates neither of whom they can justify voting against because of purely superficial reasons.<\/p>\n<p>It reminds me of the piece that Aunt Agatha at <a href=\"http:\/\/bloodthirstyliberal.com\/?p=5908\" target=\"_blank\">Bloodthirsty Liberal<\/a> wrote yesterday about the professor who decided she&#8217;d sue her students because &#8220;My students were very bully-ish, very aggressive, and very disrespectful,&#8221; she told Tyler Brace of the Dartmouth Review. &#8220;They&#8217;d argue with your ideas.&#8221; This caused &#8220;subversiveness.&#8221; (as quoted in the <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB120995103004666569.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries\" target=\"_blank\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not smart if that&#8217;s what smart is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reader Jason passes on this link from Newsbusters; On the syndicated, &#8220;The Chris Matthews Show,&#8221; Kim &hellip; <a title=\"We&#8217;re not sure how you hicks will vote\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=1622\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">We&#8217;re not sure how you hicks will vote<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media","category-politics","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1622\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
