You usually do not make such facile statements.

I'll have to try harder. ;-)

The terms "liberal" and "conservative" are bogus in the first place, nothing more than convenient terms to make the discussion either-or.

I'm responding to somebody who initiated the "us and them" scenario, claiming that conservatives by definition are responsible for everything that goes wrong while the cool dude liberals always get it right. If you check my other posts, I gave a contemporary example where this scenario is turned on its head. As you note, nobody has a monopoly on insight and thinking, apart from those who are still young enough to know everything and/or those who are so sure of their own tolerance and viewpoint that they become intolerant of anybody else's. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
