From An Angry Reader:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought you were\nsupposed to be an intellectual. Hoover Institution and all that. Then you go\noff on an illegal immigrant killing an American. That’s Rush Limbaugh turf.\n(the 2 semester and out fellow) I guess you’re just another partisan\npropagandist after all. Sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Angry Reader Gary Christian,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your attitude explains precisely why Trump was\nelected\u2014an unearned and unwarranted sense of intellectual superiority and\npresumed authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try hosting a radio show for 3 hours, 5 days a\nweek, and see how long you in your brilliance can hold the attention of\naudience\u2014over 30 years. Your email reflects no such imagination or talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your arrogance of dismissing a \u201c2-semester\nand out fellow\u201d I suppose you also wrote off the Truman presidency because\nHarry Truman only finished 1 semester (of business school).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, did the Yale education of Bill\nClinton translate into moral authority? Did Barack Obama\u2019s Harvard Law Review<\/em> imprimatur ensure that he would not state \u201cYou\ncan keep your doctor and insurance plan\u201d during the Obamacare debate or lead to\nannualized 3 percent economic growth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live 20 miles from where, in December, a\ntwice-deported illegal alien, with a long rap sheet, murdered three innocents\nand injured more\u2014and at about the same time and about 100 miles from where\nanother twice-deported felonious illegal alien murdered a law-enforcement\nofficer, and yet again about 90 miles from where a homemaker was slaughtered by\nyet another illegal alien previously deported and with a criminal record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose tragedies like that are jest to your\n\u201cRush Limbaugh turf\u201d bombast, but that is only likely because you never experience,\nas do millions, the real consequences of abstract progressive ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stifle debate you virtue signal \u201canother\npartisan propagandist\u201d to substitute for an argument. Such ad hominem smears\nonly reflect your own absence of thinking and poverty of logic. Sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
