Required Reading

Pour yourself a big glass of whatever you like, settle back, and read Lance Mannion's "How to be morally superior to a liberal." But be sure to put your drink down first. This long, rambling essay is, at times, on of the funnier things I've ever read on a blog, but still gives you something to think about, long and hard, concerning some of the fundamental differences in mindset between the left and the right. Here's a small piece to get you started.

You know they [the liberals] watch stuff like Sex and the City and Deadwood and Desperate Housewives. Well, so do you, the first two, and your wife loves Desperate Housewives, which makes you uneasy for some reason, why does she laugh so hard, anyway? But you also watch good stuff, like The Medium, when you remember it's on, and you take your kids to good wholesome movies like March of the Penguins, or you will this weekend or your wife will or you'll buy the DVD when it comes out, whatever. You know Liberals won't go see it or if they do---your stupid cousin, the ex-hippie who teaches Women's Studies, she took her kids---even if they like it, you know they don't draw the right lessons from it. They don't see it as a metaphor for marriage. They talk about evolution, crap like that.

Excellent read. Simply excellent. Hat tip to the Side Show for pointing it out.
