Here it is, from the pen of Michael Ramirez at Investor’s Business Daily:
That about covers everything Obama’s trying to do. Let’s ruin America with one ruinous policy after another. And the fact that everything he’s doing has already been tried before and completely failed before shouldn’t have anything to do with anything.

Michael,
I can’t stop laughing every time I hear someone on the news or in person state that Obama is a “brilliant man”. I don’t care how many years one hides in the comfortable cloth of our universities, it still does not equate to “brilliance” or anything that even closely resembles it. One only needs to study history to arm themselves with enough information to make logically sound fiscal judgement. The playbook for economic success has been written and proven by great men long before Obama and if he only took a moment to read some of their memoirs instead of wasting everyone’s time with writing his own, he may just learn a thing or two. Unfortunately, Obama lacks this simple ability and I truly believe him to be a complete moron.

James,
Orwell said that some ideas are so foolish that only an “intellectual” could believe them, for no ordinary man could be such a fool. And the record of history proves him correct. 20th century intellectuals were especially appalling in this regard. Every mass-murdering psychopathic dictator had widespread support among the “intellectual” class. Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler all had their admiring sycophants among the Western intelligentsia.
I have often said that some of (most of?) our most educated people are true moral idiots. They refuse to view the world through the prism of God and His Word, and instead view the world through their perverted theories. The result is that they cannot even possibly see the world as it really is (i.e., as God sees reality). And they end up becoming profoundly stupid people through brute force of will.
Nazi Germany was the most advanced nation of the world – and yet it was the most morally stupid culture that ever existed. This sophisticated, advanced, scientific culture warped and degraded themselves into the most murderous of barbarians never once realizing how profoundly stupid they had become.
Paul put it well: “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”
