Crush Liberalism

This is not only the first step of a brilliant strategy to win the red states back, but also inconsistent with the Democrats’ theory that Bush was an illegitimate president for the last four years because Democratic voters in Florida were too dumb to follow an arrow to the circle by Al Gore’s name. How stupid were the alleged Gore-supporters who couldn’t figure out how to cast a vote in the 2000 election?

Garry Wills – who fills in “occupation” on his federal tax return with “self-hating Catholic” – denounced America in the New York Times as an unenlightened nation full of people who believe “more fervently in the Virgin Birth than in evolution.”

By contrast, apparently, “enlightened” people believe in the Aborted Birth more fervently than they believe in national defense. And just in the interest of fairness here, Garry: At least there’s some documentation on the Virgin Birth story. For people who believe so fervently in evolution, these Bush mandate-deniers sure are resistant to it on a personal level.

On the same day, on the same nuanced Times editorial page, both Wills and Maureen Dowd wrote that Kerry was defeated by a “jihad” of Christians. The jihadists, according to Wills, were driven by “fundamentalist zeal, a rage at secularity, religious intolerance, fear of and hatred for modernity.” Dowd said they were “a devoted flock of evangelicals, or ‘values voters,’ as they call themselves … opposing abortion, suffocating stem-cell research and supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.” Finally – a jihad liberals oppose!

One depressed Kerry voter committed suicide at Ground Zero. Meanwhile, the entire Democratic Party is also contemplating political suicide by making Howard Dean its next chairman.

Some Democrats are so despondent they’ve contemplated (hushed whisper) prayer. They’re just not sure if they’re supposed to pray to Bill Clinton or to their “Higher Power.”
