A lot of my friends are trying to reclaim the GOP and make it a conservative party once again ... I’m content, as my hero Isaiah Berlin put it, to plant myself instead on the rightward edge of the leftward tendency—in the more promising soil of the moderate wing of the Democratic Party. [More]
The Atlantic. Figures. Although I suppose we should thank them for the unintended tip.
And how does that "moderate wing" vote on guns, on judges, and on censuring the growing power base of outright communist radicals ...?
Ever notice how people who presume to be smarter than you are often just cognitively dissonant snobs who presume to live above what is imposed on their lessers?
The media loves such "conservatives," because by presenting self-important fools like this as such, they can portray the rest of us as extremists, haters, white supremacists, fascists... you know, all the terms shared by Antifa and the FBI. Meanwhile, the useful idiots will feel respected and important until his new "friends" decide he's become a useless eater, and that more promising soil becomes covered with lime.

Well David,
The sad reality is many elites can be highly intelligent and be utter fools.
That's because they lack horse sense.
Horse Sense really means having a grounding in reality, respecting the laws of nature, and having good instincts.
If horses didn't have good sense they'd be dead.
