He would have been someone I disliked if I had been in that law school. The grandstanding and arrogance… But people are fooled, they really are! He knows how to work people!

Reminds me of my version. The ignorant must learn from their mistakes, while the wise learn from the mistakes of others.

Geoffrey, as I’m sure you’ve seen before, there are two types of intelligence involved —

IQ is the capacity to learn from books.
“Common Sense” (aka Wisdom) is the capacity to learn from experience.

Just as there are wise idiots, so, too, can there be foolish geniuses. Forrest Gump being the former, Noam Chompsky is the poster child for the latter.

As you also no doubt will recall, I point out that the primary identifying quality of self-titled liberals is most commonly a lack of wisdom, not a lack of intellect.

They are almost uniformly fools, unable to learn from experience. This is the explanation for their endless support for communism, socialism, and collectivism of all sorts. Along with Gun Control.

If someone drafted a WQ test to match the IQ test, then liberals would heavily populate the lowest third of the appropriate bell curve resulting.

“Fools say they learn from experience. I prefer to profit from others’ experience.”
– Bismarck

… and I will simply point people to my earlier writing on the Liberal Midnight Reset Button, which is a tongue-in-cheek explanation for the inability of liberals to learn anything from experience. But make no mistake, though tongue-in-cheek, it’s a real thing. I’ve seen it work on them, or at least, the results.

The Dems who voted for him are identical to the Germans who cheered at Nuremberg.

The ones who still support him are the Germans who believed in Hitler up to the last days.

The difference between Obama and Hitler is that Obama has not lost a World War and so been historically disgraced.

The Germans who supported Hitler would not look or sound one but different from the many many people we all walked by today who voted for Obama. Not a shred of difference. Their souls are just as dark and crooked. They only look like cheery Americans because Americans generally look and sound like cheery Americans.

But some of them tried to shoot or run down cops today. And the rest of them supported the ones who did that.

Leftists aren’t bad people.

They are the worst people it is possible to be. The soul gets no darker. It is manifest in different ways in different cultures – there is a Nazi in one, and an ISIS fighter in another, and in ours there are Liberal Democrats.
