Why Americans Hate Democrats: A Dialogue - The unteachable ignorance of the red states.

Why Americans Hate Democrats: A Dialogue - The unteachable ignorance of the red states. By Jane Smiley

So this is what Slate.com has come up with in seeking the insight of "wise liberals"? This is the best they could do?

Jane, you poor girl.

In Jane's world, all conservatives are just a bunch of ignorant, Bible-thumping, unteachable, ass kickin' Rednecks. The Great Unwashed. We have none of the Nuanced Sophisication that elite liberals like her enjoy. Bush, et al, just have us all hoodwinked into blissfully following his treacherous lead into the abyss.

It's ironic that she exempts her own relatives -- who supported Bush -- of being ignorant, but accuses them of being "just greedy and full of classic Republican feelings of superiority."

My, aren't we the superior one?

After seven paragraphs of whining about why she and her fellow "Progressives" are oh so superior to the rest of us, she closes with:

"Progressives have only one course of action now: React quickly to every outrage—red state types love to cheat and intimidate, so we have to assume the worst and call them on it every time. We have to give them more to think about than they can handle—to always appeal to reason and common sense, and the law, even when they can't understand it and don't respond. "

Touche, Jane. The same could be said for the other 59 million Americans who are tired of seeing people like you get away with the "cheating, intimidation and outrages" that have been the fodder of you wacko "progressive" liberals in this country for so many years. The pendulum is finally swinging back and you can't stand it. You've had your way for so long you think it has become a right to behave like you do. The best news in all of this is that, while we "red states" folks may not react quickly (showing we do have a level of tolerance you won't acknowledge), we WILL eventually react when we've finally had enough. You can only push so far until we push back.

Lucky for you, unlike our 'blood thirsty ancestors', at least we don't hunt you down and behead you or shoot you in your sleep. We just vote your ass out of power. Perhaps you'll pause and think about that, if it's not more than you can handle.
