They obviously aren't as smart as we are.
But they are smarterer than us!
Just ask them, they'll tell you.
The only reason we oppose them in the first place is because we fear them because they understand science and stuff and we don't understand any subject that can't be reduced to a bible verse printed on a bumper sticker.
They'll be happy to explain it all to you and when you cock your head to the side they'll run back to the DUmp to tell all their friends how they totally shut that teabagger down in the check-out lane at
Wal-Mart Whole Foods (cuz they'd never want to get caught shopping at Wally World).
