Another Column The Left Will Ignore

Here's a column from Dan Gerstein that explains why the Democratic Party is losing the culture war.

If the Democratic chieftains in Washington really want a window into why heartland residents are tuning out our party, they should stop huddling with loopy linguists from Berkeley like George Lakoff and just start reading Frank Rich's commentaries in the New York Times. There they will find a perfect distillation of the arrogance and narrow-mindedness that typifies the cultural thinking of our elites--and turns off red-state voters. In the view of Mr. Rich and his acolytes, freedom in our culture has been "under attack" ever since 9/11. Indeed, Mr. Rich has argued that this attack is being led by "new Puritans" who want to "stamp out" all that is "joyously vulgar" in American culture and who are fomenting a "government war against indecency" to get the job done.

I suggest reading the whole thing. Most Democrats, of course, won't get past the "vicious attack" on golden boy Frank Rich. This post will have to get you through to Sunday night. I have 30 hours to stamp out all that is joyously vulgar and win the government war against indecency.
