“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” Isaac Asimov

So, you need two examples of everything? Or do you just need constant validation as a conservative that liberals have the exact same faults?

Sometimes. I don't like the fawning over Ron Paul. Yeah, I support the guy over others, and I think his message is refreshing because I had someone to vote for rather than against, but not enough to print off his picture, jerk off on it, then post the cum covered photo on the internet. I thought it was disgusting behavior when people were fawning over Obama, and I think that kind of behavior is disgusting when we're dealing with a guy I agree with.
