Typical. You don't like what libertarians say. Call them deceptive "nuts."

Typical. You don't like what capitalists say. Call it "nonsense."

> "Dumbing down our schools" is just another old, worn-out cliche, and 
> every time you hear it you are justified to roll your eyes and tread

> schools, blah blah blah.

Typical. You don't like what conservatives say. Call them "racists."
