2. You didn't give us a link, so I'm not sure what his argument is.
Your quotes show a lot of name-calling; not reasoning. Do you want to refute his argument? If so, can you state what his argument is? Or, do you just want to attack his post?

As to the current level of stupidity in the US, his post could serve as a sterling example. For instance:

One of the more interesting implications of Darwinian theory when applied to the human species is rather interesting ...

His "analysis" leads him to redundancy.

I obstinately maintain this has finally happened here in the United States and the truly stupid have taken over

One of the definitions of "obstinate" in my dictionary is not yielding to reason or plea.

So, by his own words, he is unreasonably maintaining his position.

The liberals are, after all, the self-proclaimed highly educated thinkers of our times and in the end those same liberals are responsible for all of the stupidity we see around us. ...

He's made an assertion. Does he support his assertion anywhere? If not, he is just demonstrating his own ignorance of how to make an argument.

... If you don’t like the war in Iraq don’t attend an anti-war protest but rather beat up a liberal because it is all their fault after all.

Even accepting his premise, how does beating up a liberal change anything with respect to the war in Iraq? His "solution" to the problem, does nothing to address the problem.
