IMO, this is spot on...and until the Dems really realize that most Americans are not amused by calling the President names, nor by having their Representatives be as totally unresponsive and totally uncivil to the people of the US...this will continue to be the Dem fate.
Where are people like Henry M. Jackson, and several other notable Democrats of yesterday? Most of the vocal ones today, like Kennedy, Pelosi, Byrd, Dean, Reid, and all the ETCs....just simply turn off not only the members of their own party, but turn off others who might be inclined to vote for one or two of them along the line as well.
After the election, a little stunned by their own lack of influence, some seemed afraid that hordes of red-staters were about to descend and impound them for treason, but the truth was much more crushing: Nobody hated them, nobody feared them, and nobody cared what they thought. "Elites . . . believe that their underappreciated political insight is a natural byproduct of their own proven artistic genius, education, talent or capital," says Victor Davis Hanson, who does not sing or dance, but knows a great deal of history. "It is apparently a terrible thing to be sensitive, glib, smart, educated, or chic--and not be listened to." |
