This article is excellent. I also love the image at the top of the Spectator website with the nationwide map of happy face Bush voters and sad face Kerry voters. The image links to this Ben Stein article.

"The malcontents live on their frustration and envy of the people who are actually out there accomplishing things."
Good slogan for the D.N.C.
"We are The malcontents who live on frustration and envy the people who are actually out there accomplishing things."

Great article. Just reminds us why this is the greatest place on the face of the earth.
To: plushaye
Whole large swaths of the population who rationalize their own failings by thinking of themselves as victims, especially in big cities and heavy coffee drinking centers, have their own clubs. Those brotherhoods specialize in pessimism and anger as they spend the money they have inherited or receive as allowances from family, state, or university. The malcontents live on their frustration and envy of the people who are actually out there accomplishing things. That envy rises like the steam from the coffee and lattes they are endlessly drinking. The discontented survey the scene of those who are actually in the arena doing. Then they react with predictable jealousy and scorn.This makes me feel like posting about some layoffs.

Wonderful article. Best I've read in a while. Always loved Ben Stein and now I have another reason to.

Ben Stein makes Alex Trebec look like Pat Sajak.

Stein is a wonderful writer. When we used to get the American Spectator magazine in the mail.....Stein's column was the first one I read.
His stories of his family & friends were so real & down to earth that I felt I knew them.
At the news conference today the President displayed the optimism and conviction that Stein writes about.
I sure hope Americans decide that is the kind of leadership they want for 4 more year!

On top of everything else, he's right about the Idaho Panhandle - beautiful country!
I live just north of it.

Ben Stein was a great professor, incredibly funny, intelligent and an all around nice guy. He taught one of my law classes at Pepperdine in 1996.
