The writer is mistaken in thinking the culture war is driven by resentment, as if it is something conservatives do to liberals. It is driven by perversion, moral relativism, multiculturalism, abortion, and the wacky left-wing ideology. Liberalism is resentment directed at Western Christian civilization and normal Americans. Members of the cultural elite are out of touch and that was reflected in Obama’s comments about “bitter” people “clinging to guns and religion.” This just rehashes Obama’s point of view.

It was our culture first; it’s only fair that they give it back intact.

From the article: It's terrifying that so many Americans are so driven by resentment that they will vote against more qualified candidates simply because they seem "different" from them. For what this means is that anyone with expertise, unusual intelligence, mastery, special knowledge, is likely to be rejected by voters who are resentful of "elites."

We are resentlful of Gore because he is an "elite" despite his "expertise, unusual intelligence, mastery, and special knowledge".

Instead we focus on irrelevant cultural issues, like the Democrat's intention of disarming the American people.

I am at least comforted by the fact that most Democrats still don't get it.

Exactly. To paraphrase Reagan, they left us, we didn't leave them.

If JFK were alive and running for office today, he'd easily be ranked farther to the right than McCain.

Well, when one is filled with hatred, and the object of that animosity begins to fade from view, all that pent up anger has to go somewhere. Look around and find another object to vilify!

So, I am afraid that Sarah will be getting the same treatment that GWB has gotten. I just hope she’s up to it. She’s certainly had a baptism of fire!

The deranged Left is getting kookier. So much for unifying America.

Many of the 'rat cranks like this author are clinically disturbed. Their rage is unabated by the passage of time-- beyond the reach of the normal self-corrective mechanisms of a healthy mind, but rather a growing seething malignancy. This is why I expect violence from the Left wing sometime during or after this election cycle. People like this are at risk for losing control.

I just read the post “incompetence is bliss: (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2082807/posts) Then I read this article which demonstrates the point made in the Incompetence is Bliss post. These people simply don't know how inept they are. They live in a world of only their peers - never getting the negative feedback to tell them how nuts their ideas are. You are absolutely correct - You can't fix stupid.
