The Limousine Liberal

“It’s not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment. . . .” -- Barack Obama, April 6, 2008

When speaking to rich liberals in San Francisco, Obama is deeply condescending of people of faith who reside in the heartland, even suggesting these are the same types who are intolerant of people who are not like them. The Doctrinaire Liberal does not hold a single moderate or conservative policy position and now demonstrates that he is a Limousine cultural liberal, too.

Rural working folks aggravate liberals. Rural folks love their country, their communities, and their neighbors. They are self-reliant and are more likely to turn to their churches than their government. They don't view their situation as a problem for someone in Washington to solve.

As Kenny Chesney sings, "Some say it's a backward place, Narrow minds on a narrow way, I make it a point to say, That that's where I come from."
