Yeah, the 2010 class of Tea Party retards currently **** everything up are brilliant.
That is true. The same goes for a president issuing an order to monetarily reward these same retards that make up the worst Congress in our nation's history. :thumb:

Aside from the specific subject matter:

Of course she's not dumb. She's got two graduate/professional degrees (J.D. and L.L.M.) and she's a successful business woman. I don't know why people insist on calling people they disagree with "dumb" or "stupid" when it's self-evident that they're not.

I'd feel very confident that she's got an above average IQ and would probably bet a good bit that it's at least one standard deviation above average. That's based on what she's been able to accomplish in terms of educational attainment.

Now, you can opine that she's done stupid things. Me, I think the fact that the majority of post grads consistently vote for Democrats and even voted for Obama the second time around is prima facia evidence that intelligent people often do stupid things. But she's not stupid.

"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. ... I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly -- men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country."

I guess there's a fine line between "not stupid" and bat crap crazy, eh?

Now you know that's not true. I know it's fun to call people we don't like and/or disagree with stupid but it's just not likely to be accurate when you're talking about someone in public life like a Congressman, Senator, or President. Maybe it's true that someone doesn't have to be the world's greatest genius to get to that point, but it's very unlikely that they can be "stupid" by any reasonable definition of the word in terms of IQ and do it.

Don't know why one would post the quote below as some kind of evidence of someone being stupid or even ignorant. The crux of the statement is true. That is and has been going on. There is indeed a concerted effort to "normalize" homosexuality in peoples perception and it does involve efforts to indoctrinate school children. I have seen guidance on it at the American Psychological Association website in the past. And making sure to point out examples of famous people, people regarded as talented, etc., who are homosexual is part of it. In fact, I think it even includes claiming that famous people and historical figures are or were homosexual when it's not even really known as they are is part of it. Don't know whether or not the person involved in the Lion King is homosexual or not, but the general point is sound. Maybe could be modified some away from "I'm better because I'm gay" to "look, a respected individual is homosexual therefore homosexuality is normal and acceptable." But the use of the technique described during normalization of homosexuality indoctrination is real.

When I lived in Omaha, I always thought of the Guess Who when I was at the intersection of Burt and Cummings Street.
