Democrats strike out in the South...as usual!

A great column about the Dems' failure in the South, and how they need to do some soul-searching about (a) their direction, and (b) how they view the electorate...or at least the portion that doesn't live on the coasts or in New England.

A brief, yet brilliant, excerpt:

And while the South is more solidly Republican than ever, the troubles of the Democrats don't stop there. Why? Because on matters of cultural values, Southern attitudes since the 1960s have filtered into the mainstream. National Democrats should care plenty about this. But they keep thinking their losses stem from Republican demagoguery or from a misunderstanding of their message by voters in the hinterlands or - let's be totally honest - from an epidemic of stupidity among the people whose minds they want to win.

In short, they haven't a clue.

One of the main reasons I have always despised liberalism is that its followers think that they're warped sense of values and their self-perceived "deep intellectual" comprehension of issues makes them so much smarter than the average American. How do you expect Americans to follow you if you think they're just too stupid to see your myopic viewpoints?

The headline of the U.K.'s The Independent newspaper, which is highly anti-American and anti-Bush, had an inflammatory cover for their newspaper yesterday. It read: "Four More Years" which pictures of terrorists detained in orange jumpsuits, missiles, an unflattering Bush photo, etc. Also, the Daily Mirror, which is a similar U.K. rag, had their cover page emblazoned with "How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb?" It is precisely these scenarios which illustrate the sheer arrogance and contempt that liberals possess that make them unelectable in America.

Yet, for a group that fancies itself for being so damned smart...they don't seem to get it!
