Who you callin' 'ordinary'?
Orlando Sentinal ^ | 11/7/2004 | Kathleen Parker

Posted on 11/06/2004 6:46:52 PM PST by ssaftler

As stunned Democrats scratch the dry earth for signs and glance heavenward for clues to the strange universe that re-elected George W. Bush, it seems unduly cruel to withhold what Ordinary Americans have known all along.

Herewith a few hints: Michael Moore, Bruce Springsteen, P. Diddy, Paris Hilton, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Barbra Streisand, Jon Bon Jovi, Uma Thurman, Kirsten Dunst, Leonardo DiCaprio, Teresa Heinz Kerry, Ron Reagan, MoveOn.org, Dan Rather, the French -- and everyone else who would be speaking German today if not for the bravery and sacrifice of Ordinary Americans who are today held in such contempt by all of the above.

It's the elitism, mes frères.

Another columnist that gets it. Of course, this is just another redneck writer in a redneck newspaper, so those that should be reading it won't acknowledge it's about them.

Like shootin' fish in a bucket, eh?

I'm not so sure I'd be calling the syndicated columnist, Kathleen Parker, a redneck writer....I mean, if you know what's good for you....

This was posted earlier in the day. Regardless of that, Parker makes it so simple that even the demoncRATS can understand her. Good editorial!

I would suggest the Orlando Sentinel add it's own editorial board to the elite list of those who would've crowned Kerry peace & love queen...

Annie, please re-read my note. I was being sarcastic, or, more precisely, I was presenting the Democrat's point of view.

Oops, my bad. I did a check to see if there was anything out there on the FReewaves, but just noted some older columns of Ms. Parker.

Orlando Sentinel endorsed Kerry, saying President George W. Bush was a failure. Orlando Sentinel is a pitiful rag.

I've never read Kathleen Parker when she DOESN'T get it:) She lives here in Orlando- but the good news is her column is syndicated...and published throughout the country.

Kathleen Parker is not a redneck, though she does seem to have a split personality. Sometimes I wonder if she contracts her columns out to ghost writers who have different views of the world.

The Orlando Sentinel endorsed Kerry. I wouldn't call it a redneck newspaper. (Alas...).

Beautiful. Fortunately the dems do not get it, and will not get it. They will just blame it on 'fearmongering' and 'gay bashing'. That is the best news of all at it means they will not recognize and therefore not correct their problem and will continue to be losers.
