“Educated liberals, after all, decry populism. A large part of their self-esteem is bound up in believing themselves better educated and more enlightened than the average person, certainly smarter than, say, George W. Bush. … Conservatives, in general, are happy to confess their biases. Liberals like to think their biases are actually reality. That’s why they are much happier on, say, the BBC or, in America, on National Public Radio, which bores and uplifts the average listener into eventual submission to centre-left orthodoxy.”
A friend of mine just got his letter to teh editor published about the gay marriage issue, which is all the rage for dinner-table topics here @ Maryville College. My problem with the editorial was that it was just too damn brainy sounding for its sermon to reach anyone but the choir. I would have been offended by its attitude if not for the fact that I already agreed with its message.
