Smile, you're an idiot. :)

Alot of talk has been floating around recently of how to salvage the Democratic party after last week's reality check. Suggestions have been thrown around to make the left leaning party more appealing to an apparently right leaning country. Many have suggested an introspection into what the democratic party believes in. Others would disagree. Meet Jane Smiley, author, columnist, and Liberal fringe wacko. Her advice to the party is to "forget introspection." She writes that "the election results reflect the decision of the right wing to cultivate and exploit ignorance in the citizenry." For those of you who voted for Bush and may not be smart enough to understand what this means, she is saying that you voted the way you do because you are a big dummy. She goes on to explain how you've been brainwashed by religion, and exactly how and why you became as stupid as you are. The process involves religion, which apparently only exists to make you scared of democrats, flattery, and finally, more ignorance. In fact, the whole message in the piece seems to be the Conservatives are mindless drones, controlled by manipulative party leaders. She closes by blaming capitalists, and the Republican party for exploiting religion, ignorance, and racism to achieve power. She describes them as "predatory and resentful, amoral, avaricious, and arrogant." Now I am a dumb conservative, so I only know what two or three of those words really mean, but I can see that with an attitude like that, it's now wonder these people want to move to Canada, where the skies are more blue..er, and the all of the birdies sing songs heralding the wonders of Socialism all day long. Smiley's advice is to "react quickly to every outrage—red state types love to cheat and intimidate, so we have to assume the worst and call them on it every time," "appeal to reason and common sense, and the law, even when they can't understand it and don't respond," and my personal favorite: "remember that threats to democracy from the right always collapse..." Threats to democracy? And your solution is Socialism? Communism was once considered a threat to democracy, and quite frankly, your comments would fit nicely on the front page of the Communist Party.

I am not against Jane Smiley, and people who think like her. I would offer her my full support in furthering her agenda within her party. I am a Republican, and I like winning elections, and I know that this kind of self-absorbed, elitist, way of talking down to the "little people" will only help my side win more elections. So hats off to Jane Smiley, Michael Moore, and the rest of you. We may not always show it, but we appreciate the long hours and hard work you put into convincing people that the Left is full of lunatics, and they can't really be trusted to run a country.

If only they were canibals too. That'd REALLY thin the liberal population ;)
 
Yeah, it would, you never know. We've already got homosexuality working for us, at least they can't reproduce. And if they do, then they we have abortion as a safety net. We just need to take control of indoctrination, we might be able to win without cannibalism...
