"I am depressed, but I am also just really angry at the rest of the country's ignorance," Ms. Sloan said

Standard-issue Leftist elitism and condecension. They still don't get it, and as long as they continue to fail to get it they will lose elections.

[goldstategop]

I love their condescension and arrogance. As long they continue to think this way about folks in "flyover country" the Democrats are doomed to remain a minority party. And what they are is the party of urban yuppies and the coastal cultural elites who look down on the rest of America. As Zell Miller wrote today in his parting shot, the Democrats indeed are a "national party no more."

"I am prepared to keep my head down, possibly for the rest of my life, under a totalitarian regime,"

BS, these people are parasites. They belong in France.

...many of the bleary-eyed dissenters looked like dazed zombies from "Night of the Living Dead," and more or less numb on the inside.

Drama Queen for sure.

Bingo!

There is a ray of hope for you if you can really consider that possibility, 'rube.'

I only wish we could drop these people in Cuba, to witness what totalitarianism really is. Within a year, they would be risking their lives on a raft to get back to this country, and promptly kiss the ground (and become staunch Republicans...well maybe).

[truth_seeker]

Consider this. Of the six southern most counties along the Calif. Pacific coast, four voted Republican.

San Diego, Orange, Ventura, San Luis Obispo.

Lotsa beautiful miles, with good people.

Two voted democrat: Los Angeles, Santa Barbara.

[Tacos]

I felt left out too, but I voted for Bush!

My coastal county (San Diego) went for Bush, and so did Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and many other noncoastal counties.

Tis lonely out here...

A man named Jerry Peace Activist Rubin sat in his stockings in his dark apartment

Beg pardon??

[tophat9000]

He called a friend and headed straight to the Red and Black Cafe, an all-organic, wheat-free, vegetarian coffee and food shop,

All right some one clue me in on this one...what is there issue with wheat?

[Tall_Texan]

This is the most unintentionally funny thing I have read in a long time. These granola-crunchers really DO think the rest of the countey is supposed to think like they do.

Talk about insular and out of touch with reality.

Makes you wonder how many more Johnny Talibans are being raised by these twerps.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Mr. Rubin is the real-deal California liberal - part-time vegetarian, cat lover, sensitive to cigarette smoke. He says he has never owned a car, never had a credit card or a driver's license; he lists peace activist as his occupation.

Hard to see how the Dems managed to botch the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tap this winner as their party's standard bearer, instead of Kerry. :)

[libertyman]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! What a bunch of crybaby liberal/socialists.

Hey, the whiners in the 3 Left Coast states could always SECEDE from the Union....that would do the rest of us in fly-over country a big favor!

[clee1]

"Maybe I'm on the wrong side of the culture war," Mr. Rubin said.

There MIGHT just be a TINY smidgen of rationality in this one.

[dancusa]

.....he lists peace activist as his occupation. = Trust fund recipient, professional student, loser.

< "I am depressed, but I am also just really angry at the rest of the country's ignorance," Ms. Sloan said. >

We could, possibly, begin having a useful dialog if you would just stop calling us ignorant for voting for Bush. Of course, that's not going to happen.
