Left, that tendency to immediately judge everything and everyone by the color of their skin. \u00a0He demonstrates a deplorable lack of understanding of the complexities of the world events he comments on, taking at face value the Left\u2019s interpretation of the events in the Middle East. \u00a0And he tries desperately to explain why saying nigger is awesome and evil at the same time, depending on the skin color or the ideologies of those using it. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a strange, strange world. \u00a0We\u2019ve been conditioned, almost threatened, into accepting that adherents of one particular socio-political ideology are by definition intellectually and morally superior. \u00a0Doesn\u2019t matter what they say, the lunacy behind it, the accuracy of it, It matters not. \u00a0How else do you explain the Left\u2019s respect and admiration for Joe Biden, who has said more stupid things in a month than Dan Quayle said during the entire Bush administration?
