"“If you’re a student of history, as I am, you study history."

How brilliant is that!

----But the obvious and public derision on the part of our betters in the “intellectual centers” of our nation is dissolving those bonds, and someday, perhaps, the Yahoo Nation will repay that disrespect with the kind of margins for the “Red” party that Democrats now enjoy in their most solidly one-party urban precincts.----

The bottom line.

Let the left-wing bigots continue to be bigots! They can keep huddling in their myopic circles, telling one another endlessly juicy campfire stories about conservative boogeymen; meanwhile, we'll be busy winning elections. Sounds like a fair arrangement to me.

I remember years ago a television crew came to the hills of Eastern Kentucky to film a documentary. When they got there they asked the children to remove their shoes because that is the image they wanted to portray.That event cemented my love of small towns and lack of trust of large northeastern cities.

The party of the intellectuals and the sophisticates was presented with something of a problem in the recent Florida dust-up, as their main argument for a change in the outcome was, as far as I could tell, that their voters were too stupid to vote their ballots correctly. Of course, the quotations compiled here don’t suggest the Left believes it can build a majority while only attracting those with high SAT scores or graduate degrees. Instead, the elite exhibits a rather poorly hidden impatience with the middle of the country, which refuses to acknowledge the superiority of the chattering classes. Gore won the popular vote while losing that vast area of the map shaded in red, because his margin in the 647 counties he won was so much greater than the amount by which he lost the 2,434 counties of the Yahoo Nation.
Those who accept the patronizing label of "poor" want to patronize the middle class morally in order to extort money from it.

But that does not make the Republican Party "the party of the rich." To the contrary, if you scrutinize the map of red and blue counties you will see that the Democrats won wherever you would look to find the rich or the poor - in the inner cities and in the toney suburbs. Those who think themselves above the middle class want to patronize it financially, by advocating taxation which oppresses the middle class but which the rich boast of being able to afford.

The Republican Party is the party of the middle class.

"who sacrifices our young"

Bush is "sacrificing our young" .. but the dems love of abortion and late-term abortion is NOT SACRIFICING OUR YOUNG .. Sure .. that's logical.

Of the 40 million babies the democrats have dumped in the toilet .. how many of them had been gifted by GOD with a cure for some of our most terrible diseases or afflictions ..??
