[Wallace T.]

For generations, what is now called flyover country has produced a number of malcontents who are either born into liberal families or become liberal in college. They thereafter migrate to California or the Northeast where they find that kindred souls are more plentiful. From literary, educational, entertainment, or journalism pulpits, these apostates can look down upon the provincials in their home states, with the blessing of their new neighbors on the Left Coast or in the Boston-Washington corridor. Some early examples of this type are Sinclair Lewis, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Henry Wallace. Many network news announcers like Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw, are also of this type.

The author of this WSJ screed is just another whiner who snipes at "red state" America from the towers of Manhattan.

The day can not come too soon for me when they have to leave the US itself in order to find such kidred souls. Welcome the migration out to Canada and the EU by these socialists!
