In other words, we ain't smart enough to see the big picture.
I got it.
We ain't smart like the liberals.
I don't think that is what he is saying. He is just saying that too many people get swayed by things like Obama being a possible muslim or Mccain possibly having a black baby. Most conservatives vote how they do not because they are dumb, but because of their ideology. But there are dummies on both sides of the aisle and they form a larger proportion of the population than I am comfortable with. More education is needed as always.
Let's begin with the obvious...or maybe not so obvious to some.
I am a pretty intelligent fellow...you don't know me, but I like to think that I am anyway.
I am intelligent enough to actually read this essay, and understand what the author is saying, without need for interpretation, but thanks anyway.
This essay, to me (and I am no right wing Conservative by any measure) is a clear insight into what is basically wrong with the liberal mentality.
This essay sets forth the idea that people are not sufficiently intelligent to pick their own government.
This...from the perspective of member of a Party that supposedly stands FOR the very same people that it now claims are not intelligent enough to elect their own President.
There is a level of smugness that permeates liberal philosophy in general, and THAT is what the people of America reject.
This essay...a fear that McCain will win, drives the author to the conclusion that the "masses are indeed asses" wouldn't have been written if the author didn't think that McCain being elected can only be attributed to the American people being too stupid to elect the more intelligent liberal candidate.
I can read what it said.
Democrats, the Party of the "real people" -- The DNC is featuring a selected few of what they describe as being "real people" in the Convention; a truck driver, a Mom, etc if I recall correctly, which makes me wonder whether the Democratic Party doesn't see multi-millionaire Ivy League attorneys as being "real people", and what an incredibly poor self-image that would expose to the world -- or at least the DNC's liberal wing, see themselves as better than the rest of us, and as such, more capable of making decisions for the masses, more capable of spending our money wisely, more efficient at even raising our kids.
And those are the common traits of both the liberal wing of the DNC, and the conservative wing of the GOP.
The Hell with flag pin lapels, abortion, and gay marriage...it's the wings of BOTH parties that that give those issues undue emphasis; it's the majority of the American people who reject BOTH sides telling us that THEIR way is the only right way.
It's the majority of those of us who think that they are both insane who are rejecting them.
Your attitude isn't good for America. You antagonize people who are trying to be alturistic. As a result of people feeling resentful of making their lives easier and people who feel responsible for helping people feel that they will be resented for doing it. This is why America is weakening. Loyalty and talking about American exceptionalism has replaced Responsibility and acting in accordance to American exceptionalism.
