Never argue with a fool. He'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience. Reply Mary - MI 5/10/11 1Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 5/10/11 Arguing with a liberal is like trying to teach a pig to whistle, it's impossible and just annoys the pig. Why a full grown person who has an IQ of at least 80 and is not mentally deranged would be a liberal is a mystery. Reply Mike, Norwalk 5/10/11 Great little diddley defining patrons that support the statist theocracy infesting this land. 1 Reply Robken 5/10/11 Love It! I sometimes wonder who the fool is? Jim, if we start on your level we will all have black-eyes. It's a proven fact Liberals have the highest IQ and Austin Tx has the highest in Texas. Reply J Carlton, Calgary 5/10/11 Liberals have the highest IQ? Well I guess that becomes meaningless when they are completely devoid of any morality whatsoever... "Educated idiots"? Sure looks like it. Reply jim k, Austin,Tx 5/11/11 Robken, I didn't say that libs didn't have high IQ's, you misread my comment. I just wonder why they could be liberals, hey, maybe they are mentally deranged. Reply E Archer, NYC 5/12/11 There is no shortage of ignorance among Liberals or Conservatives -- in fact, I think to be a party-man one has to remain ignorant of one's own party's lies. The reason the Libertarian party has never taken off is that libertarians are not party-men. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
