There is a full handful of righty posters in this newsgroup who cannot

The liberal "Intellectuals" chime in and high five each other.

The ?Intellectuals?:


Oh, please. That "Liberal" piece was just a screed written by a
"Conservative" who fancies himself an "intellectual."
Do you seriously think the two sides don't use the same arguing tactics?
The big difference is that "liberals" will cite people like Voltaire,
Lincoln, and Dostoevsky to "prove" their intellectualism.
"Conservatives" will cite Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck.
Both think they are ****ing "intellectuals" and the others are stupid.
jps used a simple metaphor, but it didn't fit and it was a dodge too.
He could have just come out and said "A gun can be very useful."
Then argue the downsides.
But he tied it all up with hammers and nails.
Dishonest argument, IMO.
Best to be honest.

I don't care who wrote it. I think it's funny and an apt descriptor
of at least two liberals in this newsgroup who mock ad nauseam
everyone who do not share their ideology.

That's honest.

Fair enough. It works if you ever associated those 2 with
"intellectuals."
Guess that thought never entered my mind.
Always saw jps as sincere but naive.
And Krause as an asshole.
No reason to get all complicated about it.

I've never seen one conservative here site any of the characters to which you refer. Very few of the
conservatives here resort to the name-calling so many of the liberals here fall back on to 'win'
their argument.

With which part of the intellectual liberal definitions do you disagree? We've been told ad nauseam
of the benefits and glories associated with a liberal arts degree from Yale, et al.
