Nancy Pelosi is much smarter than Palin. Palin is a stupid bitch who got to be a very big fish in a very small pond. Nancy Pelosi may be filled with granola, but she can out think Palin any day of the week. And you too probably. 😃 ---

> [@Sinaijon](#): > > It seems to me that the major beef was that Obama wouldn’t say we ‘won’ the Cold war. Only that it ‘reached it’s conclusion’, in order to avoid offending the Russians. There’s this magic thing called diplomacy. The US’s Government’s lack of it over the previous two terms was all too painfully obvious. As a non-American I am quite enjoying the fact that the US currently has a president that knows that going to a country and then saying “hahahaha we kicked your asses” just isn’t the done thing. If only a good portion of the American population could work that out as well. ---

> [@BugMeNot2](#): > > No doubt, no doubt. And Al Gore is much smarter than Bush, right? You’ll note, that the _Stupid Conservative_, will attempt to deflect when faced with a situation he doesn’t like. In this instance, Pelosi’s accomplishments are much weightier than Palin’s so all he can do is point to Gore and Bush, two people I hadn’t mentioned. The _Stupid Conservative_ goes on: > [@](#): > > Wait…his grades were lower. But that doesn’t matter…because Bush misspoke all the time…wait…Gore was worse… Here the _Stupid Conservative_ is continuing down his deflective tangent. He first of all, assumes that grades equal intelligence. Which I’m sure, any intelligent person knows isn’t true. Second of all he assumes that Gore has as many verbal gaffes on record as W. Bush, which isn’t true by any measure. So the stupid person has failed to substantiate even his own tangent. > [@](#): > > But that doesn’t matter, because Gore made that there “Inconvenient Truth” movie, which was proven to be right…wait…it’s full of errors… Here the _Stupid Conservative_ continues his deflection. Now he has brought global warming into the debate, presumably the _Stupid Conservative_ doesn’t believe in global warming and is using it to show how utterly gullible _the libs_ are. In this case however, he’s chosen to ignore the tens of thousands of climate scientists who actually find Anthropogenic Climate Change to be a real danger on the horizon. The _Stupid Conservative_ has chosen to believe the 26 or so Climate scientists who disagree. Why? Because they are saying what he wants to believe. And a _Stupid Conservative_ doesn’t care about facts, they care about being seen as right. Never mind that there are problems in an Inconvenient Truth owing to more recent science, but it is for the most part correct and for the most part parallels scientific understanding. Does the _Stupid Conservative_ think about this, no, instead he continues to rage: > [@](#): > > but that doesn’t matter, because anyone with left-wing views is automatically smarter than anyone with right-wing views, because left-wing views are CORRECT, dammit, and how can the right-wing not SEE that? Left wing views aren’t always correct. For instance, I like nuclear power and I think that the left is wrong on that stance. However, what the _Stupid Conservative_ fails to see, is that he, and other _Stupid Conservatives_ have chosen specifically to be wrong. _Stupid Conservatives_ have chosen to not believe in evolution, they have chosen to champion abstinence-only sex education, they have chosen to ignore anthropogenic climate change, they have chosen to inject Christianity into governmental life, they have chosen to ignore the vast majority of economists in that a stimulus plan was necessary, they have chosen to believe that industries will regulate themselves and so on. _Stupid Conservatives_ have chosen to do and champion very, very stupid things. Liberalism isn’t defacto correct, it just seems so because everything the _Stupid Conservatives_ do is wrong. > [@](#): > > Who said I came here to ARGUE?

I’m getting the distict vibe that people like me threaten you. And by people like me I mean people who aren’t intimidated by lefties. Here, I’ll be sporting. Here are some predictions that will be easy to disprove within the next 5 years. If they are disproven, I’ll come back here and debase myself. Ready? #1 - Left wing views are much less popular among young people than older people think. #2 - The “green” movement will fall apart fairly soon. #3 - The next president will be a conservative. By the way, here’s something to chew on, intellectually. It’s Freudian. Environmentalism = Death Instinct.
