Pardon my timidity.

Liberals are lazy, stupid, lying, fake intellectuals.

If liberals are so darned smart, and red state rednecks are so dumb, why is it that Republican attorneys crushed Democratic attorneys in Bush v Gore at the Supreme Court?

In fact, *where* have liberals prevailed in any intellectual battle?

They hold up Roe v Wade as the height of their victories, yet Roe v Wade is going to be overturned and viewed by historians as THE most illogical Supreme Court decision, ever. Right to "privacy" means that you get to have abortions on demand with no hearing at all for the baby being aborted?! What drug-induced stupor excreted *that* ruling?!

So where have liberals prevailed intellectually? Show me an example. Somewhere.

BINGO:

... Second, it has to reassure liberals that they are morally superior to the people who just defeated them.

In past years, the story line has involved Angry White Males, or Willie Horton-bashing racists. This year, the official story is that throngs of homophobic, Red America values-voters surged to the polls to put George Bush over the top.

FAKE INTELLECTUALS is what I said. That is what makes them as sickening as they are, all of them. Both Clinton and Kerry lied about their IQs and even voters poo-poo a conservative argument. Libs are lowlife filth.

FYI, David Brooks is used by the NYTimes as a token conservative.

I was listening to Ickes this morning on CSPAN. They think it is just about communicating and expressing their values as if any values will do. They also assert that a lot of people's economic interests (red counties mind you) are actually with the democrats.

The problem, I think is that the folks who lost this election, the democratic party machine and operators like Ickes, are about to be out of a job and they know it. So they are screaming that they shouldn't be fired yet.

As JC Watts said at a GOPAC conference today, also on CSPAN, if you pay taxes, work for a living or are pro-familiy, you belong in the Republican party.

It is actually the liberal secular humanists who seek to use state power to impose their beliefs, opinions, and values on everyone else. Liberals are the ones pushing for theocratic dictatorship in America - a totalitarian secular humanist tyranny under their straneg gods.

Apparently, they just never get it. They still are out of touch with reality.

It would answer some questions...

I simply assume the media and their so called intelligentia cohorts are insane.

Reality offends them, so they deny it; look at their take on abortion, gay marriage, etc. That's why they refuse to look at where their policies actually lead. They will not bow to reality -- or to Reality: there's a line in Paradise Lost (from memory), "Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven."

Paradise Lost. You got that right.
