The left's knock against *any* Republican is that they're "stupid."

I find it hard to put Milton Friedman and William F. Buckley in that
category, but to each his own........

If Mr. Friedman or Mr. Buckley ever became the Republican presidential
nominee, rest assured that they would be labeled "stupid" "extremists"
within a month by the J-school dropouts who toil away at propaganda
organs like ABC news. You know, the same folks who asserted that Al
Gore - Uh, what are his academic credentials, again? - was the "too
smart" candidate in 2000.

"The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon
the buttock of a rather good country. Seventy years ago it
opposed mobilisation against Adolf Hitler and worshipped
the other genocide, Josef Stalin. It has marched for Mao,
Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has
slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated
against everything and everyone American for a century.
Broadly speaking, it hates [America] first, [Britain] second."
