Further evidence that leftists don't think theirs are the best ideas; they think they're the only ideas.

From Wikipedia:

Quote
An intellectual is a person who engages in critical thinking, research, and reflection about the reality of society, and who proposes solutions for the normative problems of society.

There are conservatives who do that. Not hard to understand.

I also found this definition from dictionary.com to be especially pertinent:

Quote
an extremely rational person; a person who relies on intellect rather than on emotions or feelings.

Conservative intellectuals can articulate the difference between a man and a woman (among other things), lurking DUmmies.
"Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice." - John Adams

Thomas Sowell alone could articulate rings around the entirety of Skinner's Island of the Damned, with a blinding hangover.

Conservative intellectuals don't have to argue with government bureaucrats over what percentage of disability they can claim due to chronic butthurt...  :mental:

That's a fact. Sowell is a national treasure.

Conservative intellectuals...

Understand what the definition of "is" is.
Know what fascism truly amounts to.
Know that Marxism and its takeoffs will never work.
Do not have to redefine words like collusion.

On and on it goes.
