Yesterday Bill Maher demonstrated the kind of attitude that is all too common with liberals: Intellectual arrogance. They believe that they have a monopoly on enlightened thinking.
On Hardball with Chris Mathews, Maher says, "We know who's on Bush's team, we keep hearing about how the God fearing people are with Bush. Fine. But what about the people who believe in say science?"
The meaning that irrational religious whackos like Bush while rational, intelligent, people who believe in things such as logic and the scientific method are -- like him -- liberal.
Care to take a poll on who most professional practicioners of science are going to vote for, Mr. Maher? It's pretty rare to meet an engineer, for instance, who favors liberal positions. That's usually because in my experience liberal positions aren't based on science but rather warm fuzzy emotions.
