A Big Part of the Problem

From Mickey Kaus, a really fine column by New Republic editor Martin Peretz that describes an enormous Democrat hurdle if they want to play this democracy game and win:

"But the problem is that many Democrats have a downright hostile attitude to the flag, to patriotism itself, which is thought by some in the party to be a retrograde sentiment. And they have, at best, a queasy disposition towards religion. To tell the truth, it gives many of them the creeps. You can't really do much with that, can you?"

No, you can't. The tragedy of liberalism is that it's undemocratic and can't stand the average person. Reading Marx will do that to you, and believing that garbage only makes it worse. Let's hope the democratic party can be rescued from its keepers soon.
