He is one a one-man crusade to show that rationality is identical to adherence to his object level political beliefs, and feels entitled to punish irrational people, ie people who disagree with him politically, by downvoting. He does not define rationality in terms of being able to provide reasoned arguments for beliefs, and does not regard his own inability to provide good reasoned arguments for his political beliefs to impugn his own presumed level of rationality.
I remember having some arguments with him, and although he seems a bit more confrontational than the average, he did in fact had some well-formed arguments from time to time. So definitely not an unintelligent person.
