Dumbest Tweets. Ever.

Scary.

Is that the liberal constituency? Are they the kind that would believe "The government can and will take care of you if you vote for me"?

While I admit that I grew up in small town America, among the "lower class", the ignorance of these people is frightening. What possible productive future can they have?

None. Just what the left needs and wants.

The left has their share of morons, and so does the right. Cliven Bundy is a prime example. The more politically extreme you are, the lower your IQ it seems like.

You actually think Cliven Bundy (who exhibits more critical thinking than you do) is a moron?

I've noticed you think anyone who disagrees with you does so (by your account) because of a lack of intellgence.

I've noticed that I disagree with you BECAUSE I don't lack intelligence.

Actually, I don't. You lack intelligence because you're incapable of finding any common ground with anyone and resort to strawman attacks against liberals in topic after topic. I posess critical thinking skills and intelligence. I used to be a Libertarian when I first registered on this site, all the way back in 2010 until 2012 when most people in a leadership role associated with libertarianism turned out to be frauds and nepotists. It was critical thinking that made me question my own ideology. You blindly follow yours. You assume that I was always a liberal and therefore, a moron. Hate to break it to you, I chose to become center-left, actually, but to you anyone to the left of you is a liberal pinko commie, after living on the other side of the fence. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, and smoke it real good

LOL!

You changed ideological beliefs because you discovered a political party acts in political ways, you say.

So, the truth of the matter is, you don't believe anything, you just blindly follow people...

Are you trying to imply conservatives don't have their enormous fair share of idiots?

And that is the crux of the problem. Both parties seem to target the fringe, when they should be moderates who serve the majority interests. We can point out how the "other party" is wrong, but seem blind to how our own parties are just as bad... or worse. It's politcal deafness.

No, I won't imply any such thing.

I will state flat out that no idiot would ever be a conservative. It requires intellectual muscle and serious and critical thought to be one. It requires nothing to be a liberal, other than mouthing platitudes. All you have to do is say you "care" and vote for anyone who says the same.

Having said that, we both are aware that there are people who identify with either (or no) side of political issues despite having no idea why, and cannot explain the validity of what they believe.

On the other hand, liberals have never been able to explain what they think, other than to say they "care".
