Why Americans Hate Democrats—A Dialogue

The unteachable ignorance of the red states.

Is it not always amusing to see a self-deluded left try so very hard, once again, to explain away their continuing failure by blaming others? Jane Smiley at Slate tries to do so by arguing with all the expected reasons for yet another failure to grab power. As always, the left never, ever takes responsibility for what happens to them. And the excuses are so very predictable; the electorate are a bunch of dumb Neanderthals, we didn't get our message out, the Rethuglicans are just too mean and we are too nice, etc.)

Yawn

Here is the real truth of the matter lefties, so listen up:

The difference between the left and the right exists because of two different sets of ideas about how the world works, and thus how to operate a government in that world. Democrats operate on one set of ideas; Republicans operate on another. Those two sets of ideas are mutually exclusive. They cannot both be right at the same time.

When Americans vote Republican, they are saying that Republicans have a better set of ideas than the Democrats. And Americans are not dumb morons, as you all seem to think. They look at the evidence and they can see for themselves just what happens when you put Leftist Democrat ideas into practical action. And the results are invariably disastrous. That is why you keep losing, and why you will continue to lose.

Until you discard the dead weight of Marxist ideology which is found at the root of your party, you will never win another election in this country again, and you will deserve the minority status you have earned. Your party will now be out of power for at least a generation, because that is how long it takes to rebuild from minority party status. Ask a Republican who remembers the campaign of Barry Goldwater.

You can now look forward to at least twenty years of introspection in which you will be able to ask yourselves why Americans don't vote for you anymore. And perhaps if you are honest enough with yourselves, you might just start to question the ideas which have blinded you for so long.

So go to the library and pick up some books by authors who espouse the ideas of liberty, free markets and pro-western philosophy if you want to learn a few new ideas for the future. You might actually be surprised by the results. And you might begin to understand why you will have to wander in the wilderness for years to come, and how to find your way back to reality where the rest of us all live.

Good luck; you're going to need it.
