We are seeing the very core belief of liberalism being proclaimed. Liberals have ALWAYS maintained that the vast majority of Americans are too dumb to make the “right” decisions in their lives and that liberal elites and the government nanny state must do it for them. Obama’s famed comment about those bitter people clinging to their guns and religion was another manifestation of this core belief. Of course anyone who does not espouse the liberal core belief is instantly labeled dumb, ignorant, racist, homophobic, redneck, a religious nut, etc.

Your post is spot on!

This is why they don't want to run against Newt.

Newt Gingrich has a lot of baggage. A lot. But dumb will be very difficult for the left, even with the mainstream media's assistance, to put into his suitcase.

Newt is the one who questions the premises of silly debate questions. Newt is a historian, and the left's ideological foundation is built on revisionist history that he can readily refute.

Another plus----Newt has already been painted as angry and mean-and angry and mean is what this country, given the foul mood it's in, senses that it needs now.
