[GPSCC-chat] tea party conservationist

[Gerry Gras]

Yes, it is very interesting.

But I don't know what to take away from it.

Maybe the main point is "media liberals were now
ridiculing people like him as ignorant, backward
rednecks" and "he felt ever more like a stranger
in his own land" trumps everything else.  But
maybe not.

I suspect that most liberals will just ignore
him because of his "backwardness".  But that's
unfortunate.  I think the left's quick judgements
about the right contribute to misunderstanding,
polarization, and lack of progress on important
issues.

So I think it would be good for us to better
understand the right.  And I fear that I am
missing something here.
