"Bush is stupid. And whoever supports Bush is stupid."

Good article. I have also had people (well, the sort of people the author describes, the "right kind" of people) say incredibly insulting things to my face and get so enraged they completely lose it if I merely mention that I support Bush.

But I hope the author doesn't wear a Kerry tee shirt on her next trip. It's a free country, as we say, and it's her right to like Bush and proclaim it, regardless of the opinions of the elite. It just takes a bit of courage, but freedom has never been free.

Or maybe the next time she goes to NY, she should look up some NYC Freepers.

I live in New York City and have discovered on many occasions the power of the simple words "I admire Bush" to inspire tirades, tears and temper tantrums. It was disconcerting at first, but after a while I began to feel a sense of power. At any rate, trying to fit in by keeping a low profile is hopeless. Eventually, you'll hear some idiocy that makes you lose your cool. Be honest from the beginning and the advantage remains on your side.

People like Ms. Latte crack me up. I've known quite a few.

The part that really cracks me up is that they can, in one breath, say that people like us see everything in black and white and, in the next, say that is bad. They speak in SUCH terms of black and white that, examining their views, you'd never suspect that they believe anything is "shades of grey". In their minds, Bush is absolutely bad. People who vote for Bush are absolutely bad. People who take their religion seriously are absolutely bad. War in Iraq is absolutely bad. Extreme enviromentalist measures are absolutely good. So-called "Seperation of Church and State" is absolutely good.

I've never seen any evidence that some of these people understand what true nuance is. Nuance is merely an excuse to hold their black and white views in the face of contradictory evidence they simply do not like.

I found much the same reaction on business trips to New York if politics was discussed. Don't step back a milimetre - usually you can catch them in their inconsistencies and go in for the kill when you make it clear that all they're supporting is snuggling up to the likes of Saddam Hussein.

No Hollywood movies for them: too commercial and superficial...

Aha! Something we finally agree on.

That dumb bee-otch would have been wearing her latte on her blouse if she'd called me stupid for supporting Pres. Bush.

You know, I wonder to whom exactly this foreign correspondent would cry out to had she been in the Twin Towers, the Pentagon or on any of the planes on 911-- or on any of the buses or in the buildings that regularly blow up in Israel?

She doesn't appreciate either the threat of terrorism or the love of God it appears.

Being that Ms. Coffee Latte (or whatever she drinks) has such disdain and loathing for believers in God, I guess she feels invincible in her terribly self-centered world.

It must be so very difficult to be a giant like she is, having to walk around in life looking so far down at people all the time. Pity.

My favorite nuclear response to blue-staters is "Bush is OK, but I prefer Alan Keyes.".

And you wonder why Post-Election Selection Trauma is such a big problem in the blue states nowadays.

The education of many liberals involves their being influenced by professors, books and movies which color their view of the world. To come to a different conclusion then what they have is a sign of inferior intelligence. Since people tend to associate with like minded people it is often quite a shock to discover that people you respect might have different views. I believe that the lady in the story would benefit from working in a ordinary job with the people she despises. She would come to value character and real intelligence over the empty fluff she mistakes for intellectualism. She might find herself embarrassed by her snootiness, when she discovers how many marvelous people there are out there making this country work.

I really believe that in a few years, that there is going to be a large segment of the population that is going to say they actually voted for Bush that actually voted for Kerry. You find this same type among those Republicans that voted for Perot, but refuse to say so publicly.

In my mind, I think the President is going to go down as one of the best. If he could get the immigration thing right he may be the best (that is in the mind of Lt. America, no one else officially endorses my beliefs!)

I would never talk politics in New York City, where conservative views are greatly out of step.

Why ruin a perfectly good breakfast?

Important to note that this author is himself probably a rather liberal guy on political/social issues. He is merely saying that Bush is the man for the survival of Western Civilization, and that the Michael Moore wing of the left--a big chunk of the Democrats and the Eastern elite--have really gone off their rocker. That leaves the center and the right to the Republicans; witness 55 Republican senators...

I am enjoying the hysteria. These are the reactions of irrational people. They are pathetic because they don't realize how ignorant they really sound.

I once walked into the office of a newspaper editor and told him it was one thing to insult Ronald Reagan. It was quite another to insult everyone who voted for Reagan,(something he had just done on his editorial page) quite a number of whom subscribed to his newspaper.

He was shocked I called him on it, IN PERSON.

It's been years and I still remember the look on his face and the joy in my heart from putting the pinhead in his place.

There's more to NYS than NYC.

Thank God.

This article reminded me of the most excellent time I had strolling into the local Starbucks the morning after the election. I stood in line with the latte crew whistling "There's a bright golden haze on the meadow" from the musical "Oklahoma." The looks I got: they were tasty! It was a MegaGLOAT of epic proportions. The next morning in the same Starbucks I got to expound on the incomparable beauties of Canada to a fat, skanky, lesbian professoress with a straight face (mine, not the professoress'). Ahhhh . . . Golden Days.

I have this conversation weekly sometimes....I usually get the Bush is stupid AND evil. Then I have to explain you can't be both stupid AND evil....choose one. It stumps them.
