But I like her arrogance more than the GOPers. Some consolation, I guess.

The bit about caring for others before yourself certainly doesn't sound like Hillary.

To be fair, it is a form of self defense. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.

But believe it or not folks, authentic criticism doesn't get pulled out of ones ass.

I call these 3rd Way conservatives 'Republicrats' which may be too generous.

he is intellectually superior to many people, probably 85% of people. I don't really like the word superior, but his IQ is probably well over 120. I don't know what morally arrogant means. If it means he has principles he sticks to then I would say that's a good thing too. Sure, it makes him seem stubborn, but so what a lot of people are stubborn. I think humans have a right to be stubborn if they want. As long as they are advocating things that are useful and not hurtful. In the case they think it's okay to hurt other people without being provoked well that is what jails are for.

The askanasi jews have he highest IQ of any ethnic group. It averages between 107 and 115 with the mean being 111. This is a standard deviation higher than any other group. The Chinese are second. I grew up in a Jewish clique with one of my friends winning 8 emmys for writing on Sesame Street. I think bernie is more along the lines of 111 which is high. I just don't think he is 120. 120 is brilliant and he is not brilliant.
