"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses." (somehow this sounds very familiar)


This is my favorite:
"The goal of socialism is communism. "

These are from one of the worlds most intelligent liberal thinkers. Still wanna play?
So, I'll play. Do you think that quoting a few out of context statements by some leftist somewhere proves you are smart? Picking the speck out of another person's eye when you have a log in your own, proves nothing.

Conservatives generally are more fearful cowardly people. They usually live in rural/exurban areas or gated communities which seldom have violent crime yet all own guns. I live in a sketchy neighborhood and don't own a gun. Also look how effectively Glenn Beck plays off their fears and plants ridiculous conspiracy theories in their minds like that Obama wants to establish a caliphate in the Middle East and that he's a secret Muslim born in Kenya. Fear makes people irrational and it explains a lot about their mindset.

Intelligent people tend to be socially more liberal, but fiscally more conservative. A social conservative or a fiscal liberal is typically a warning sign leaning away from intelligence.

Most the republicans I know are farmers and they seldom carry a gun for anything but hunting. They are also strong as a bull and are afraid of very few things. They find ways to over come and adapt to problems, I have seen them work hurt and in a lot of pain. 365 days a year.

I thought we sat in worn-out armchairs in places like Queens calling our liberal sons-in-law Meathead.
