Stupid traitors

Democrats yearn for America to be defeated on the battlefield and oppose any use of the military -- except when they can find individual malcontents in the military willing to denounce the war and call for a humiliating retreat.

If liberals are not traitors, their only fallback argument at this point is that they're really stupid.

- Ann Coulter (read her full comments here)

I have always thought that liberals were both stupid and traitors.

Sometimes someone who has "always thought" a particular way is in fact someone who has seldom or never thought about it, particularly if "I have always thought that" holds true across a range of opinions. Having "always thought" a given way is suggestive of unexamined opinions that may be sustained simply by the effects of confirmation bias.

Andrew, thanks for the comment. Interesting point.

Here is a point that is even more interesting to me. I have been experiencing "stupid liberal traitors" ever since I first went to MSU in 1971.

So, in terms of scientific experimentation, my conclusions have been reinforced by 36 years of consistent results, which, not coincidentally, has been longer than you have been alive.
