Smart about politics

Most people who believe they are smart about politics are really just pragmatic statists without principles. 

That doesn't look smart at all. 

It looks useful to the rulers.
It looks handy for the criminals.
It looks profitable for the lawyers and bureaucrats. 
It looks like a jobs program for fake economists and other "experts".

But "smart"?
