The Dunning-Kruger effect has been my explanation for the behavior of many liberals, who sincerely believe that a Mensa membership is conferred upon every individual pulling a "D" lever in the voting booth.

Too bad the libs don't read.

He just has the wrong definition of "brain-dead."

"Brain dead" is when you spend all your time complaining about welfare queens stealing the money out of your front pocket while wall streeters and greedy corporatists are stealing the dollars out of the wallet in your back pocket.

Does this "effect" apply to people that are too stupid to know when a quote is fictitious?

Because admit it or not they still think a lying drunk from Wisconsin was a real 'Murican hero.

Still awaiting some tangible proof -- any proof whatsoever -- that Obama actually believes that the means of production and distribution should be owned and controlled by the people collectively.

Do you have any?
The meaning I posted out of the dictionary is as follows.. The principles or system of ownership and control of the means of production and distribution by the people collectively,usually under the supervision of a government. You left that out of your synopsis. The most important part of what collective Communism is.

Liberals have a way of presenting half-truths. I just saw that on one of the liberal networks this evening. A half-truth about the story of the guy holding little Ethan in Alabama to make it look like another reason for gun control when there is more to it than that.

And you who are arguing that we're not headed into communism are mighty mum on the Texas school curriculum requiring a course in making communist flags and what not. Our children are being indoctrinated!

And you still haven't demonstrated that Obama wants that. Please provide evidence that he wants the people collectively, under the supervision of the government, to take control of the means of production and distribution.

But you can't, because he doesn't.
