Very good observations.  When I tell left wing nuts I am a liberal in the classic sense of the term I am greeted by either blank stares or befuddled confusion.  And no doubt I am not an intellectual giant.  I am well read, especially in history and economics and have a classical education that allows me to think critically and unemotionally using facts, logic and reason.  When you do that you are able to understand the abject failure of big government progressivism. You can come to grips with the factual reality that these policies and ideas have never worked and will never work.  As the old saying goes, it ain't rocket science. 

I find it particularly amusing that Archie insists others on this forum are followers or lemmings. Not only is it factually false, it is wildly ironic given his slavish follower/lemming behavior with regard to dear leader. Only a mind numbed fool would not recognize his serial failures in both the domestic and international arenas. To hear him tell it, all the ails the world is Bush's fault and all that goes well is directly a result of his false messiah. But even then he lacks consistency. When gas prices skyrocketed it wasn't Obola's fault but when they drop he thanks el presidente.  Just plain old economic illiteracy.
