I just got done reading the Two-minute Hate that is my local liberal rag's editorial page. It is a month and a bit since the election and I am wondering when they are going to stop informing us Bush voters that we are ignorant, bigoted moral midgets who need to be trucked off to reeducation camps. Calling Dale Carnegie!!
I am loath to offer advice to liberals, but I am a compassionate conservative after all. I think you all have forgotten that owning the courts is not enough. Occasionally, you have to persuade a bunch of people to vote for you. ( Winning the Deceased Vote is not enough.) This end is not furthered by ad hominem attacks on those potential voters. This may seem obvious to those of us in the Big Flyover, but apparently our sophisticated, erudite Blue State neighbors need a little remedial instruction in this area.

Nor does it help when the above-mentioned liberal rag prints only those letters to the editor that agree with their side. People , even those who are not ignorant bigots, notice this sort of thing. The recent local vote on the gay-rights "Fairness Ordinance" is a case in point. I have never seen such one-sided and vicious reporting...and that's saying a lot. I was not particularly interested in thie issue itself, but I was tempted to oppose the liberal possition simply because their supporters and their paper were so blatantly stacking the deck. Besides, I really find it hard to believe that the most affluent and media-genic segment of our society can credibly claim to be living under the Dark Night of Fascism.
