I think Krauthammer got it backwards
Are you even able to think?
I agree. But that is how the other side sees it, and I think he is giving eyes to their point of view.
My sister, now deceased, was a liberal despite her family and upbringing. I can’t say she thought conservatives were evil, but they had not reached her superior insights. She thought of herself as having had a rebirth to a better view.
She went to a liberal college and married a man from money—old money. To me, that explains it more than anything. She was a social climber. I believe this is how many children from traditional American conservative backgrounds convert to liberalism. It’s sad. She died rather young from cancer. I believe at some level she was at war within herself.
Is it more correct that way?
First thing I thought of when I read it, too!
He was probably right when he said it (2002) but times have changed and the Liberals have changed. They've become emboldened and violent. Thanks Obama.

It seems like a good summation of the situation to me.
