LH,

"Well, it's a whole lot more important to be good-hearted than to have a big I.Q. Some antisocial people are brilliant, after all, but they're still no boon to society. "

Agreed- so why is there such an effort on the part of some posters to say that Bush and any who might agree with even one point of his are such stupid, subhuman idiots? Is it too much to ask them to address what they think he is doing wrong, instead of making ad hominum arguments?

Once upon a time I thought there might be room here for civilised discussion and the airing of different viewpoints, so that I might better understand what those who did not agree withg me were thinking. I have found that ANYONE who deviates from the liberal-defined Order of things is subject to personal attacks, insults, and ridicule. Seems that the Left here is even better at that than the Bush administration is in the real world- but that does not stop the comnplaints about Bush attempting it, NOR the attempts here to do so.
