“This is a sophisticated pile driver of a book, guiding us through the wiles of great luminaries of the netherworld. And such liveliness in the writing, and such erudition. I was quite fascinated by Intellectual Morons.”
—William F. Buckley, Jr.

“Intellectual Morons is exceptionally aptly named. The thought of all that brainpower going down the intellectual drain is sad, but Daniel Flynn’s description of it is hilariously on point. This is must reading.”
—G. Gordon Liddy

“Intellectual Morons is a delight—a wonderful intellectual history of the past hundred years. Flynn ably describes the purveyors of the bad ideas that have undermined our free society.”
—Burton Folsom, Jr.

“A famous bit of folk wisdom says, ‘You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.’ Some of the crackpot notions now fashionable in academic circles, as here documented by Dan Flynn, suggest that saying is an understatement. If you want to know how crazy, and scary, intellectual morons can get, you have to read this book.”
—M. Stanton Evans

Flynn lambastes leftist extremists and then presents radical thinking as mainstream intellectualism. Apparently, there is no room left for right-wing radicals like Limbaugh, Roberts or the Fox News Network. He attacks science as if it is some book of laws written in stone, and then attacks again when (as science should) our understanding forces scientific theory to be re-thought. All the while he holds to a clearly right-wing ideology - while he condemns those whose ideology with which he disagrees.

He proves one thing, the only thing worse than intellectual morons, are morons of the uneducated variety.
