You should read the WHOLE article before passing jusgement. A very interesting part when he starts describing the Red and Blue states in the 2000 election.

The differences between the people in the 2 parties also. Guess which party description included the word "hedonistic" ?

You should read the WHOLE article before passing judgement.

Very true. This is a passage from the article previous to the posted:

In 1929, Jay Lovestone, the head of the American communist party, was summoned to Moscow. Stalin demanded to know why the worldwide communist revolution had advanced not one step in the largest capitalist country. Lovestone replied that America lacked the preconditions for communism, such as feudalism and aristocracy. No less an authority than Friedrich Engels had said the same thing, talking of “the special American conditions...which make bourgeois conditions look like a beau idéal to them.” So had an Italian Marxist, Antonio Gramsci, and a British socialist, H.G. Wells, who had both argued that America's unique origins had produced a distinctive value system and unusual politics.

Works for me.
