Don Quixote’s Thought for the Day: Thinking Dangerously

Saw another bumper sticker today. “I Think, Therefore I Am Dangerous.” Good thought, except that other bumber stickers on the same car read, “Obama” and “Jail Bush.” The owner is not dangerous because he thinks, but because he thinks so unintelligently.

That’s really the whole problem with liberal elitism. They confuse being smart with having smarts. It took me 20 years to figure out that my liberal education didn’t teach me how to think. It taught me select facts, ideology and regurgitation, but no critical analytical skills.
Which reminds me of a bumpersticker I saw in the 1980s. ” Vote Republican. It’s better than thinking.” This BS has been going on for over a half century- remember the famous Adlai story.
During his 1956 presidential campaign, a woman called out to Adlai E Stevenson ‘Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person!’ Stevenson called back ‘That’s not enough, madam, we need a majority.
This smugness no longer irritates me. My response is “There you go again,” or ” Are you that lacking in creativity that you have to keep recycling a 50 year old line instead of coming up with something original?”

Or he is dangerous because he is delusional: he thinks he thinks.
Exactly, Tone! “I think I think – therefore I’m incredibly dangerous” seems closer.
