Re: SOTU Address:
The Great One Mark Levin said.. "Liberalism is the Philosophy of the Stupid"
I don't want to come down too hard on Mr. Levin because I know that he and his wife had the same kind of experience with their spaniel mix dog that my wife and I had with our Cockapoo. It took us a year to adopt another dog after that loss.
That being said, Mr. Levin is not the only person on this planet who has ever had an opinion.
To wit: On May 31, 1866, John Stuart Mill, in a parliamentary debate with the Conservative MP, John Pakington, said, "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it."
Mark Levin is a fairly intelligent dude, I wonder if he knows that 27 percent of Solid Liberals have postgraduate degrees vs. 12 percent of Staunch Conservatives. That's not just my opinion, the Pew Research Center did a study which you can look at:Section 3: Demographics and News Sources | Pew Research Center for the People and the Press
Not really trying to be a smarty-pants here, just trying to set the record straight. Neither side has all of the smart or dumb people.
There are smart and dumb people on both sides of the aisle.
Me, at 70-years-old and retired, I'm happy that I'm barely able to post this comment. If I live long enough, maybe I'll finally get the hang of this.
Have a good day.
