| Description | Oh those libruls! They are losing power very quickly, yet they continue to take positions against majority opinion when that opinion is bigoted. How dare they say support of the Arizona immigration law is bigoted?! How dare they say opposition to Proposition 8 is bigoted?! How dare they say opposition to the Burlington Coat Factory Islamic community center is bigoted?! Oh, right, because those things are the very definition of bigotry. But according to Charles Krauthammer, views held by a majority cannot be considered bigotry. Sounds like somebody forgot to take his history-remembering pills this morning.
Now we know why the country has become “ungovernable,” last year’s excuse for the Democrats’ failure of governance: Who can possibly govern a nation of racist, nativist, homophobic Islamophobes?
Yes, good question. Here’s your answer: fascists. And that’s why we need solid right-wingers like Krauthammer in office. They can enforce bigotry.
Note what connects these issues. In every one, liberals have lost the argument in the court of public opinion. Majorities — often lopsided majorities — oppose President Obama’s social-democratic agenda (e.g., the stimulus, Obamacare), support the Arizona law, oppose gay marriage and reject a mosque near Ground Zero.
Right: Note what connects these issues. In every one, a majority of the country is white Christian people. In every one, a majority of the country is almost entirely ignorant of the issues they’re being polled about and certainly do not think about the complexities of the issue when an annoying pollster bothers them during dinner to talk about some random law down in Arizona. |
