    I just turned 66 and enjoy John Wayne's McLintock,
    where he celebrates the territorial governor as
    though he were HHH. . JW got some heat in
    hollywood for that, but his star status was unchanged. -- j

    It has become my understanding that liberals are born stupid. They reach a certain age at which point they have the realization that they lack the cognitive skills of many of their peers, at which point, they glom onto the modern liberal orthodoxy. I have a couple of libertarian and conservative friends. When I meet them, I typically start my part of the conversation with this "So, I was talking to a liberal the other day..." That typically leads to smiles and some laughter as we mutually understand that the liberal mind is a caustic mix of childish naivete along with pure bone-head illogical bromides. I have tried, without success, to impart some level of basic economic understanding to my liberal acquaintances in the context of showing the fraud of minimum wage laws. I think that once a liberal gets beyond the age of about 35, they are hopeless. There are times, when I and my libertarian and conservative friends, would like to see a push of the Big Reset Switch.. where all the liberal / socialist programs fail (the end of food stamp welfare parasitic handouts for example). But it would really do no good, for the liberal, like the cockroach, would survive to impart their theft on another generation. Yeah, this was a rant, but where else can one go to engage in a bit of commiseration on this topic? Happy new year... although 2015 will likely be even more overrun with liberal nonsense.

    LOL!

    As for allosaurs, I have a gripe. Allosaurs were king of the Jurassic Period, at least in North America.
    But has a single one been in all three Jurassic Park movie? No-o!
    Bet there's none in that Jurassic World spin-off either.
    Me dino am unhappy camper!

    Whoa! I'll never say "neighbor" in downtown Birmingham. I may never make it back to Pleasant Grove.

    True, but an easy target. You can never lose betting on the stupidity of liberals, though you may often find you wagered too little.

    Holy flashback! Being now 67, I recall Humph crying when he lost.
    A TV camera caught a woman standing before him say, "You are a good man," while Humph rubbed his eyeballs.
    I found that to be amusing. Wish she said, "There, there, don't cry, little boy."

    That reminds me as an adolescent. But an adolescent was a state I grew out of.
    Say, maybe that is what an adult libtard really is--immature for his age!

    I've actually thought Gruber was talking about the representatives and senators that voted for the bill. All you have to do is tell them that "you will be voting for a bill that will provide health insurance to millions of registered voters."

    I mean, come on! How many of these people even read the stinkin' bill? They couldn't use that information to support their vote, instead all they had was baseless rhetoric.

    Robert Heinlein had this to say about that:

    “Most people can’t think, most of the remainder won’t think, the small fraction who do think mostly can’t do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion—in the long run, these are the only people who count.”

    so, as an adolescent, you have a dream of an
    ideal society where everyone is happy and no
    one is sick or disabled or depressed, AND

    you spend your entire adult life trying to

    FORCE

    reality to comply.

    sick. -- j

    example::: assigning more and more jobs to the
    central government, after a long and awful history
    of failures, corruption, miserable customers and
    loooooooooong service times. . the definition
    of complete insanity. . legislate morals and
    changes to human nature. . PTUI !

    why not embrace human nature [capitalism]
    and succeed like wildfire??? -- j

    Actually, I prefer "insane" to "stupid". Libs exemplify Einstein's definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results". Temper tantrums don't change reality, no matter how much you would like, and this drives them insane.

    What a great article. Some memes that need repeating. Stupid is as stupid does and you can't fix stupid but you can muffle the sound with a bit of duct tape. Liberalism is a severe mental disorder and no cure or treatment.

    It is not their intransigent political correctness that I mind, it is their unwillingness to even discuss the concept that they might be wrong. I have had conversations with two friends, over the years, that have ended with 'let us not talk about this subject again so that we can remain friends'.

    Yes, these are intelligent people and they are people with whom I agree on many many topics. Were liberals like wmiranda used to be, it would be much more fun to talk with them and we each might learn something.

    Sigh.

    the power is in the hands of all of them, as i have yet to discern the differences between those who claim being d's, r's, or any of the others.
