A Boston Tea Party … (What Do You Really Think Of Me?)

In business and in life we have all run across people that we don’t really like that much. Sometimes personalities clash or views on a subject differ greatly. In business and in friendship it is usually a good idea not to burn any bridges. There are times, however, when something major takes place and one or both people involved let the other know exactly what they think of them.

If you didn’t know before, we do know now. Less than one week after the election liberals have let us know exactly what they think of us. Liberals down on their luck are tossing around words like ignorant, fanatic, and intolerant down on their luck. They are going through the anger stage of bereavement as they try to recover from what they felt was a sure election win. It is in this anger stage that they are letting us know their true feelings about conservatives.

When you lose an election, one choice is to look within your party and analyze what your party stands for. Predictably, liberals would never do such a thing. It is not possible for the intellectually elite to admit their views are wrong. A less damaging disclosure is to blame the guy who lost but the most self-gratifying choice is to blame your opponent for the loss. In this way you remain true to your cause and uncompromising in your beliefs.

The Maureen Dowds and Paul Krugmans and Stuart Smileys of the world prefer the downgrading of the opposition and the people who support them. They want you to believe Republicans are nothing but religious fanatics or are intolerant of others or are ignorant hicks from rural America or quite possibly a combination of all three. This is the only way in their minds that we could act in such an irresponsible way as to re-elect President Bush. These liberal elitists would rather burn a bridge than admit reasonable people might think differently than they do. I am happy they are so vocal about their disdain for people like me. Now that I know what they think of me, it reaffirms my conviction. Fanatic, intolerant, and ignorant; not me; they must be talking about you.
