AN OPEN LETTER TO MAUREEN DOWD By J. Matt Barber MichNews.com Nov 12, 2004
Dearest Elite and Most Enlightened Maureen:
Ours is a Nation wherein we are the drooling, Neanderthal, war-mongering Red-Staters. You are the freethinking, lucid, peace-loving Blue-Staters. We are the toothless, barefoot, OshKosh BGosh Conservatives. You are the handsome, well-cultured, stylish Liberals. We are the hate-filled, dogmatic, fanatical Christians. You are the tolerant, agnostic, atheist, new age, pantheist, moral relativist whatever (man thats a mouth full! Pick one will ya!?). These are the truths you hold to be self-evident that not all Americans are created equal.
But alas woe, so very woe are we. Theres a rift in the time/space continuum. Our respective worlds have been turned upside down! Red Staters are troubled and confused! Were concerned for both ourselves, and for you disenfranchised Blue-Staters. Our anxiety to wit: Your formerly pithy column has of late, betrayed your complete loss of control and forecasts your looming political self-destruction. As Document Daddy Dan Rather might have put it youre madder than a rattlesnake in a juggling contest. How can we help? What can we do? Maureen, your apoplectic inhale breathe think happy thoughts happy thoughts!
We Red-Staters are fearful! Were under attack! Hate speech fills the airwaves and print-press. Intolerance rules the day, and bigoted, mean-spirited Christophopia threatens to demean to cause irreparable injury to Red-Stater self-esteem across this great (very red) God-blessed Nation. It appears that, as the tide shifts in Americas culture war, you and your ilk are prepared to escalate the conflict to declare civil war to take up arms (well, maybe not that you would have to touch a gun and betray your pacifists creed to war against our Christian Jihad. In so doing, you would be no better than our evil President, who so enjoys killing those peace-loving Muslim fundamentalists). But nonetheless wheres the open-mindedness Maureen? The love? Where, oh where have all the Liberal warm-fuzzies gone?
In truth, Red Staters only have your best in mind. As you continue, fueled by venomous blind rage and a misguided worldview, to insult the people who were responsible for rewarding George W. Bush with four more years in the Whitehouse, and who further fortified Republican control of congress, consider this: The more you attack us; the more you condescend and refuse to hear us the more you embolden and galvanize us, further propelling both you and your failed ideology into the abyss of obsolescence.
As you may be aware, there are those, such as your good friend Lawrence (creepy liar) ODonnell, who are calling for Blue-State secession. In light of the, shall we say, more effeminate qualities of Blue-Staters, I think we will all agree that an armed insurrection will not be forthcoming and hence, neither will there be secession. This notwithstanding, there are other Blue-Staters who sit with you on the far fringe of leftdom, contemplating defection to Canada. To you, and to all utterly distraught lefties who are considering the move to our wonderfully progressive playground to the North, we Red-Staters offer one final bit of modest advise: On your way out Dont let the door hit-ya where the good Lord split-ya.
Sincerely,
The Red States

Well said.
Please cc Molly Ivins on this.
Hehehehe, someone needs to Fed Ex Maureen a nice serving of crow...and some kleenex to wipe away the tears :-)
BTTT
Well said, indeed, but Dude, you live in the Blue Zone!
Make sure to enclose a photo of Catherine Zeta-Jones in any correspondance with Miss Dowd
I just watched Micheal Douglas in that movie "Losing It", and I just now realized it wasn't about Maureen Dowd.
Comical.
There are a couple of typos in this. Otherwise, it's fantastic!
As many moronic things as she says,are you sure she can read?!
It is past time to wake up Americans to the fact that Dowd is just another Jason Blair wearing a skirt, red hair and fair skin. Dowd is probably a bigger liar than Jason was.
Let us not forget President Reagan who I believe deserves full credit for turning the tide on this concept. With the exception of Slick Willie (which was an aberration, not a trend) this obsolescence started with Reagan and will continue for another generation, in my view.
He cares more than I do.
The only thing I have to say to Dowd is FOAD.
Just FReepin' AWESOME!!!
What a pathetic excuse for a woman Maureen Loud is.
