1 It's really amazing how somebody like Joy can read about, say, Eisenhower's reaction to the horrors of Dachau and totally not understand it, to the point of trying to extrapolate it to something totally different. And keep her job, even. Perhaps she's paid to be deliberately stupid, like Fox News dummy Juan Williams?

I was reading an article on Townhall today by a salty author about how Democrats are totally dumb; my wife looked over my shoulder and said "That's not always true," and she was right because we know some who aren't, but if she'd read Behar's remark she'd understand the Townhall writer's sentiment.

2 Right you are Dana. And so is Martha.
Often the Left SOUNDS stupid because they can't tell us their real goals; they have to make up a reason that might fool a few weak minded people. They dare not tell us their real plans.
Many on the Left are very bright indeed but their intelligence is in the service of their goals and ambitions, which are ultimately irrational and immoral.
In fact I would say that the Left is way ahead of the Right in most cases. They are brilliant tacticians (only Trump is as goo on our side) but it's what they are trying to achieve which is pure stupidity. They don't care; it's an article of faith to them, not a rational philosophy.
