I think it is a fundamental error to assume that our elected leaders that do things you don't like or promote ideas that you find repulsive are morons. It may be that the people they convince to vote for them ARE morons, but those politicians may actually pretty intelligent.

NWP, I am not at all sure that the duprass is looking for any discussion that might lead to problem solving or improving our level of understanding of the issues.
The title of this thread is a good indicator - it is a hyperbolic pre-judgment extrapolated from one person's writing. I'm sure there is some gristle to chew amongst interested parties regarding the author's remarks, if only the dramatic sweeping generalizations and bigotry could be gotten around. It's tough to get the duprass to listen, however.
