If higher education is producing this many idiots then Jihad is not America’s greatest problem.

One of modern society’s most enduring myths is the idea that liberalism represents some exponential leap in intelligence. Endlessly we are told that Barack Obama is a highly intelligent President – the most intelligent President since, well, the last time a Democrat sat in the White House.

Liberals are on the whole very highly educated. Which is not repeat not repeat once again not repeat one more time not the same thing as being intelligent.

Barack Obama is in fact one of the dumbest individuals to hold public office. Anyone who believes in government-run medicine or the benefits of centralized bureaucratic planning (for example) is on the same intellectual level as someone who holds to the theory that the earth is really flat, or that the KKK merely represents the interests of working-class whites, or that a world-wide conspiracy of Jews is behind all major historical events. To hold to any of these beliefs – in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary – requires a seriously stunted intellect. Obama and his supporters fit that description perfectly.

If higher education is producing this many idiots then Jihad is not America’s greatest problem.

So New York will get to host the leftist show trial – which will not be a trial of the suspects, but a showcase for their radical agenda. New York will get the blame, however.

To be honest: New York deserves the blame. One would think that New Yorkers of all people! – would have learned their lesson after 9/11. They didn’t. They voted for Schumer and Clinton for their Senators, and Spitzer as Governor. They voted for Kerry and Obama to be President. They will elect Gillibrand and Cuomo to be Senator and Governor, respectively. All of this of their own free will.

Gaius, there is such a thing as getting exactly the government you deserve. Now it’s New York’s turn.

If so, why the obvious lie?
