For what it's worth, I record Ancient Aliens every week, but you couldn't pay we to watch televangelism.

This thread needs more solipsism.

Describe, in detail, the face of the intelligent democrat. I'm talking about characteristics it would have to have, were it to be discovered, to be considered an intelligent democrat.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but this is tedious. There are lots of intelligent Democrats. I just don't agree with their priorities or values. Hillary Clinton is intelligent. If she weren't, I wouldn't view her as so dangerous.

I look forward to revisiting this discussion when Islam is the #1 religion in the states.
