conservatives as I understood them are very interested in sacred texts — the Bible, the Constitution. These things are locked down

One of the few things he said that is right on to me. Does this mean in contrast that the liberals are very interested in texts that are unhinged and unsacred. Boy, it show seems.

So then I thought, what are some of the more friendly towns I've been in? And they were like rural Montana, rural Arizona, these really small places that are really conservative places. OK, where have people been the biggest jerks to me? Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles, safely blue state kind of regions. So it was a little dissonant.

I think this speaks for itself. This is probably dissonant to those that demonize conservatives and Republicans, especially 'all those Bush supporters' that talk continually about murder of the man who protects them hourly as commander in chief. To us conservatives this is a NO BRAINER.

But it's a really powerful thing to just shut up and listen to somebody who has ideas that are different than your own.

We conservatives/Republicans have been listening to these liberals shooting their mouths off for years--mostly unchallenged. Welcome John Moe to us and a slice of our lives--intelligent and powerful people that you and yours relegate to stupid, backward ass, simpleton cardboard cut outs. Nothing could be further from the truth.

So are communists: Kapital.

So are muslims: The Koran.

So are feminists: The Feminine Mystique---any anti-man book.

...All sacred texts to those groups. It is just a question of which book the individual finds sacred. It would be that book which tells us what we want to hear.
