A one-way dilemma, Part Two

Power Line - A one-way dilemma, Part Two: "Yesterday, I claimed that, while liberatarian candidates like Rand Paul are uncomfortable with 'fudging' their views, liberal candidates seem quite willing to fudge their beliefs in order to gain office. An email from one of my favorite Power Line correspondents, Scott Smith, prompts me to suggest the following explanation for the difference: liberals think their ideology makes them, above all, morally superior; libertarians think their ideology makes them, above all, intellectually superior.

Moral superiority, for many who feel it, is not compromised by deceptive statements made in the name of gaining the power to 'do good.' But intellectual superiority is compromised by any statement that is incorrect or intellectually lazy."
