Mongoose, I didn’t read through your post very carefully and I must say I agree with much of what you say. It is just that I am so tired of the left’s intelligence fetish that I really don’t want to see one develop on our side.

The elites in intelligence really don’t know any better what to do with our economy or with our foreign policy than those of average intelligence. A person with an IQ of 145 will absolutely not make a better leader than a person with an IQ of 115. In most cases, the arrogance of the highly intelligent leads them to make the worst possible errors.

Ronald Reagan was not stupid. George Bush is not stupid. Obama is not stupid. I have had it with the last 8 years of the stupid arguement.
