Liberals who think (nay... know!) they are smarter than Conservatives

Great column here, apparently a book excerpt, on how Liberals are so eager to believe that they are smarter than Conservatives. A good excerpt from the excerpt...

"The arrogance of some liberals in this regard is astonishing. You don’t even have to be highly educated yourself to complain about how uneducated conservatives are. Michael Moore, college dropout, travels all over Europe talking about how “idiotic and uneducated” conservatives are. He also said: “Once you settle for a Ronald Reagan, then it’s easy to settle for a George Bush, and once you settle for a George Bush, then it’s real easy to settle for Bush II. You know, this should be evolution, instead it’s devolution. What’s next?”

Professor Bruce Fleming, a self-professed liberal, explains this liberal attitude perfectly. “All of us are ignorant of many things. It’s just that the liberal here thinks he knows what the conservative is ignorant of.”

I especially liked the comparisons the author, Peter Schweizer made between Bush and his presidential campaign opponents Al Gore and John Kerry. Both were reputed to be smarter than Bush, but Bush actually outperformed each of them in school.
