As usual, liberal “leaders” display an amazing degree of naivety, stupidity, and proof that a lib arts “education” just might not be worth as much as it once was. At least this guy shows some learning capability.
This guy is some kind of metrosexual, urban leftist, who finally leaves his bubble in middle-age, and discovers the real world. Its a rather pathetic story, actually.
I find that Conservatives generally understand the other side pretty well. I don't like Communism. But I know what it is. I don't like The Great Society. But I know a lot about it. Some people don't think the Theory of Evolution is correct -- but they generally have a decent understand of it.
Liberals?
They know their own ideology and nothing more. Why should they know anything about your ideas? Your ideas are stupid.
