What is a cultivated Democrat?

It's code used among leftists who ironically consider themselves top of the socialist heap. In this instance, it means buying organic arugula at Whole Foods.

Then, there are the other coded uses. Marijuana growers are cultivated Democrats, whether that's a full-blown illegal operation on national park land or a single plant in some hapless stoner student's foil-lined and grow-lighted closet.

It gets ugly when referring to Chicago or to ethnic minorities, however. In this instance it's referring to Democrats who are shot, shovelled and shut up, then plowed under to hide the bodies.

Funny how Democrats wrap the language around their hypersensitive little pinkies to avoid coming across as what they are, isn't it?

Absolutely right, it all boils down to this line from the article:

"We want the best people to govern us"

No, we don't. We aren't hiring a boss. We are hiring a manager (in the case of Congress, we are hiring people to represent us), but WE THE PEOPLE are that manager's BOSS.

Conservatives don't pound this point enough. I think it is because we have a hard time believing that liberals really do want someone to "govern" them (or maybe it is just that they want someone to govern the great unwashed!).

Oh, I get it. At least I think I do. We’re all too dumb to understand the greatness of Zero’s policy preferences, THAT’s why he’s going down in flames! Damn arrogant arseholes.

Yes, the Times comments are much more telling than Maureen. Listen to them cry about Obama being “too smart”.
