How Freakin' condescending can they be.

This is the same mentality of the dude who wrote that book "What's the Matter With Kansas", which talked about how "middle America" didn't vote correctly. That book talked about how the poor rubes out there didn't really understand the issues, didn't really vote for their own economic interests when they have been voting.

So now we're going to say that the religious oriented voters aren't looking at things properly? They should pray in church and not be involved in the larger world at all?

So condescending for some ivory tower elite who publish Newsweek magazine to tell someone what the criteria are in the political world and what issues belong in politics and which don't.

Does Newsweek take the editorial stance that homosexuals should stay out of court and stop trying to push homosexual marriage? Does Newsweek think that the gay community should hang out in the Castro and other such neighborhoods around the country and not try to affect the larger culture? That's similar to what they are trying to say to church going people by saying they should get out of politics.

They are liberals. They make the rules and every one else has to follow them. They believe they are a self-annointed elite and what will come out next year is their complete condescension and contempt for those they perceive as standing in the way of utopia. That's who they are.

re: How Freakin' condescending can they be. )))

If you've been reading Nat'l Review Online for years, as I have--the elites on our side of the aisle can be just as patronizing, unfortunately . The conservative publications do not have any evangelicals on their mastheads, although they send out Stanley O'Livingstein now and then out to the Deepest Darkest South to do a number on the primitives...

The left is testing the waters. They want the religious right to know that the Republicans are not-so-secretly ashamed of them. It's a very smart move. The bluebloods have always been embarrassed by the Joe Sixpacks.
