Now, back to the American voter. Let's assume you've been watching this messaging battle, and now you have two choices: Barack Obama, Not a Very Good President vs. Mitt Romney, The Worst Guy Ever. Who are you going to vote for? Most people would pick "nice guy, bad politician" over Mussolini. And they did.

Professors capitalize on the profound respect students feel for them. By telling students "think for yourselves" and "don't buy what your parents tell you," the professors set themselves up as the final authority on morality, politics, and society by discarding parents as moral arbiters.

Now, that's not because Barack Obama is a warm and fuzzy guy. Even those who surround Barack Obama all day describe him as a cold fish. Obama is not someone who will bring over a bowl of chicken soup when you have the flu; he's not even the guy who will drive you to the airport when it inconveniences him. Yet, somehow, he was considered the more empathetic of the two candidates. Why? Because Romney was perceived as so darn mean.

You may notice when arguing with someone on the left that every time you begin to make a point, that leftist begins shouting about George W. Bush. It's like Leftist Tourette's Syndrome. "Why did Obama blow out the budget?" "BUUUUUUUSHHHH!!!!!

Conservatives get trapped in this gambit routinely, because they figure that the enemy of their enemy is their friend: if the left is attacking someone, he must be worth defending. But that's not true. I liked George W. Bush, but his second term was a disaster area. So was much of his first term. I don't feel the necessity to defend his Iran policy, because it was terrible. Period.

Leftists prefer to argue half-measures in which they don't truly believe. For example, they say they want to ban assault weapons to stop gun murders. But that argument is silly, because handguns are used to kill far more people than so-called assault weapons. And yet the left won't argue in favor of a blanket gun ban, because they know they will lose.
