I grew up in Missouri and most of my family voted for Bush, so I am going to be the one to say it: The election results reflect the decision of the right wing to cultivate and exploit ignorance in the citizenry. I suppose the good news is that 55 million Americans have evaded the ignorance-inducing machine. But 58 million have not. (Well, almost 58 million—my relatives are not ignorant, they are just greedy and full of classic Republican feelings of superiority.)
Ignorance and bloodlust have a long tradition in the United States, especially in the red states. There used to be a kind of hand-to-hand fight on the frontier called a "knock-down-drag-out," where any kind of gouging, biting, or maiming was considered fair. The ancestors of today's red-state voters used to stand around cheering and betting on these fights. When the forces of red and blue encountered one another head-on for the first time in Kansas Territory in 1856, the red forces from Missouri, who had been coveting Indian land across the Missouri River since 1820, entered Kansas and stole the territorial election.

I prefer bloodthirsty rebels than snob liberals anyday. More south bashing... these rats are in full meltdown.
"The worst civilian massacre in American history took place in Lawrence, Kan., in 1862—Quantrill's raid. The red forces, known then as the slave-power, pulled 265 unarmed men from their beds on a Sunday morning and slaughtered them in front of their wives and children. The error that progressives have consistently committed over the years is to underestimate the vitality of ignorance in America. Listen to what the red state citizens say about themselves, the songs they write, and the sermons they flock to. "

Another novelist bites the dust.
"my relatives are not ignorant, they are just greedy and full of classic Republican feelings of superiority."
As opposed to this tools feeling of superiority? Unreal.
You can travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico, from the tip of Florida to the Puget Sound, from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi Delta, and not set foot on one square blue inch of land that was won by this Slate lying weasel's evil moron traitorous "rat party."
All you leftists out there: Drown in your narcissism. Feel the love.
For the record, the Democrat Party was the pro-slavery party in the leadup to the Civil War, as well as during the Civil War.
Jane,
You'll want to put some ice on that.
Somebody should break it to the wench that President Bush is closing in on 60 million bloodthirsty, Luddite votes and turn her thong into a tourniquet.
If anything, our Souv'rn contingent consists of Reconstructed folk who have finally seen the error of their ancestors' ways. They have firmed up that decision by voting Republican!
The "Blue nation", though, is still that bunch who want the rest of us to take care of them ~ a bunch of slackers ~ even their greatest political thinker, Michael Moore, calls them that!
You knew it was only a matter of time before the lib/dems called Americans stupid. But the Euros had already beat them to it.....
And when I didn't think the Democrats could get any nuttier. I have had such a wonderful time surfing their message boards and soaking in the deep sense of schadenfreude in my soul. They are whipped, beaten and demoralized. All that hatred they had for the President blown right back into their face. This is a great time we are heading into and I know the Democrats have learned nothing from their defeat.
When the south voted democrat for years and years, they were smart intellectuals. Now that they vote republican they are inbred hicks.
And this slate guy things we have the superior complex.

The Left still doesn't get it. It is they that are out of the mainstream. They are the ones who need to change. They are the ignorant ones.
Monkeys throwing poop.
It's as if every left-wing wacko columnist at home and abroad is going to extravagant lengths to make me enjoy this even more than I already am...
I believe that word he is really searching for is "common sense"
