What you have to ask yourself is why are conservatives classed as fairly blue collar while Liberals are usually associated with college professors and higher income earners.
A good example of that is John Kerry who is extremely wealthy and a Liberal, isn't that contrary to what this writer is trying to state. Isn't Kerry in fact a aristocrate?
At one point he points to Conservatism as being destructive to democracy, but in a larger sense the process in the last election worked as a larger majority then the last election voted for Conservatives or Republicans, even though the average american family didn't see many benefits from the Bush Government.
In fact you could read into his whole section on the Destruction of Reason the same argument as every liberal that is upset about the lost election. The whole argument that people that voted for Bush are stupid or ill informed is framed in that one paragraph, and yet it is Liberals arguing it.
I'm not a really big fan of this paper, it seems to be a half cocked paper spouting that everything conservative is evil and everything Liberal is sunny in bright, obviously I must be evil stupid and irrational and uniformed.
He talks about the wealthy and the aristrocracy running the conservative movement, but I counter that it is the elite, and wealthy and aristrocratic thats running the Liberals, but whats destroyed the Liberal movement is the fact that thier leaders have lost touch with what should have gotten them there. The dis-enchanted, and the forgotten.
His paper is hideously slanted, and really no different then the muted yelps of Liberals who came out of the wood work during and after the election, it would be interesting to read a paper that exposes why Liberalism is evil and wrong, but that would be written off as red journalism.
