Makes me proud to be this stupid.

Jane Smiley's article there was the most foolish piece of junk writing I've read in a long time.

Perhaps she's should consider it's entirely possible that she's the one wearing the old "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt - not us.

The elitests snobs that call us names need to get a clue...
Have they read President Bush's credentials - where he got degrees from?
Have they ever actually LISTENED to what the 'red' folks are saying?
They see only what they want to see and hear only what they want to hear...

[julsmith]

No, they will not listen to the "red" states because they think that we're a bunch of irrational hicks. They think we're too stupid to think for ourselves, we were brainwashed by our churches & talk radio, and the whole Bush victory was totally based on the "gay marriage" issue.

They just don't get it.

Thanks, again, SVFT for getting the truth about Kerry out there in spite of the MSM, Hollywod, musical and European pompous snobs.

It was a tough job, but you did it, and you deserve a ton of credit.

When I read Jane Smiley's article earlier today, I thought, 'Here is a woman in need of help. Maybe I should clue her in and tell her that all the vile trash she's dumping on conservative Republicans is a projection of her own radical lib flawed character. Tell her to take a good look in the mirror and maybe muster up the humility necessary to face her own ugly reality. Give her a head start in reforming herself and her party.'

But I couldn't find her email address.

Your loss, Jane. I guess you'll have to keep on with the regurgitation you radical libs call thinking until you lose a few more elections and maybe -- someday -- figure it out for yourselves.

So will she be leaving on the same plane as the rest of them?

Heh, talk about a lack of critical thinking, that is where those articles seem to be coming from. The major problem here is 'projection':

[reconflyer]

read this article from Slate and you'll understand that person's angst:

Slate's Kerry Landslide

Out of like fifty people on their staff, two supported someone other than Kerry, and one was an intern! The other was the financial reporter.

They can't figure out how the rest of the country could be such dumb@$$es.

In other words, they are out of touch.

Anybody have an email for Jane Smiley? I’d like to send her this:

Good golly Miss Smiley, I just read “The un-teachable ignorance of the red states, ” and I knows I’m one of them un-teachables from a red state, and you be one of them intellectuals, but like my Mama always said, you’d probably get a lot more bees with honey than with piss. Mama also said, “Don’t forget to take your meds.”

Psychology.
a. The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or suppositions to others: “Even trained anthropologists have been guilty of unconscious projectionof clothing the subjects of their research in theories brought with them into the field” (Alex Shoumatoff).
b. The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something as a naive or unconscious defense against anxiety or guilt.



Excellent point and the first I've seen in print. I've given this alot of thought and it's how I'd explain the liberal posture toward Repubs/conservatives.

Projection is what the left engages in when explaining how conservatives are manipulating things,that is,they've been doing this for years through the Universities,media and film.
The same assumptions are given to the opposition.
