That's a really good point, and one that contemporary writers would find compelling, I think, if so many of them weren't preoccupied with trying to manipulate masses of voters pro bono the Prog Cabal, which many of them -- like Doris Kearns Goodwin, whom I am beginning to think about nominating for a bronze statue as the all-time hallmark Liberal Drooling Idiot, still apparently think of as an urban goodies-delivery cooperative, rather than as a slavery cartel.
I found an example of an excellent urban-elitist rant in Commentary, here:
http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/why-jews-hate-palin-15323
Before I read the article and chased links to many, many comments on Jewish-themed websites, I had no idea the depth of the aversion to everything we call "American". Former Bush writer David Frum commented (big super-RiNO), as did a website called Jewschool.com, whose comments were largely ethical and not overly prejudiced. The views expressed limn a fair outline of the "Red/Blue" schism in society, and explain the sharp demarc in U.S. voting patterns.
The animus displayed in the Commentary article and scholiae and commentaries appended thereto, reflect one POV that is Jewish, but I think is more widely attributable to "urban East Coast" elites and their control of media and academe.
That’s a great article at that link. You get the impression that Palin is a real American while the detractors mentioned there simply aren’t.
