Today lefty website Politico has a headline story entitled, "Is Rick Perry Dumb?" It elaborates on the theory that the Texas Governor isn't too bright and not at all intellectually curious. He's just a dope who follows the instructions of his much smarter advisers.
Sound familiar? Gosh these leftists are predictable.
Ronald Reagan, Dan Quayle, George W. Bush, and Sarah Palin were all painted as dunces, great big dummies who didn't know much about anything. The so-called "intellectual elite" held them in deep contempt and ridiculed them at every turn.
Serious, charismatic conservatives always inspire this kind of attack from leftists, because those conservatives represent ideas that are so powerful that they have the ability to destroy liberalism for good. Therefore, those conservatives must be destroyed before they can gain any traction. And the leftists try to do that by first discrediting them as dumb.
Of course, all of their candidates are brilliant: Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were cast as genius boy wonders, and even losers like John Kerry, Al Gore, and Jimmy Carter were described as "thoughtful," "deliberative," and "intellectual."
If they're so smart, why are their ideas so catastrophically bad?
Perry should take this latest assault as a badge of honor. Let them think he's dumb. And then he'll show 'em how dumb he really is by wiping the floor with them.

so is princess getting with the program?

They'll categorize conservatives in three groups (sometimes they'll put in more than one group). 1. Incompetent (dumb) 2. Corrupt (powerful and able to destroy liberalism) and 3. lunatics (believes in God and considers evolution a "Theory")

THAT, was a funny joke!
Is, that why many Conservatives idolize Truman? Palin, Bush others.

The dems don't support Allah
Now, Reagan viewpoint?
"Yeah, his greatest regret was sending the Marines to die in Lebanon. But Good ole Ronald Reagan was tough in other areas right? He fought the evil communists in South America right? He was the hawk's hawk! Not so fast...
"Those sons of bitches won't be happy until we have 25,000 troops in Managua," Reagan told chief of staff Kenneth Duberstein near the end of his presidency, "and I'm not going to do it."
Of course we know who 'Those sons of bitches' are. They're the same sons of bitches that wanted a half a million troops in Bagdhad and Tehran.
But on Israel you say, surely the Gipper would never let down our BFF in the world the Israelis. But...
For starters, Reagan was not exactly seen as tough on terror in Jerusalem. A few months into his presidency, he announced that the United States would sell AWACS surveillance planes to Riyadh, advanced aircraft that would make it harder for Israel to launch a pre-emptive military strike against Saudi Arabia (as it had done against Egypt in 1967). When Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin expressed "profound regret and unreserved opposition," Reagan shot back that it was "not the business of other nations to make American foreign policy."
In 1981, when Israel did strike Iraq, bombing its Osirak nuclear reactor, Reagan backed a U.N. resolution condemning the move. And in 1982, when Israel attacked West Beirut in an effort to destroy Yasir Arafat's PLO, Reagan told Begin that Israel's behavior constituted a "holocaust." (Begin, whose parents and older brother were murdered by the Nazis, did not appreciate the line.)

Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write
By Jack Cashill
//////Obama was prompted to write by an earlier letter from a Mr. Jim Chen that criticized Harvard Law Review's affirmative action policies. Specifically, Chen had argued that affirmative action stigmatized its presumed beneficiaries.
The response is classic Obama: patronizing, dishonest, syntactically muddled, and grammatically challenged. In the very first sentence Obama leads with his signature failing, one on full display in his earlier published work: his inability to make subject and predicate agree.
"Since the merits of the Law Review's selection policy has been the subject of commentary for the last three issues," wrote Obama, "I'd like to take the time to clarify exactly how our selection process works."
