Brooks Hits The Mark

David Brooks weighs in with a great analysis of the post-election "spinning" that many on the Left are engaged in. It's a great article which I encourage you all to read, but here's the paragraph that most clearly hits the mark.

But the same insularity that caused many liberals to lose touch with the rest of the country now causes them to simplify, misunderstand and condescend to the people who voted for Bush. If you want to understand why Democrats keep losing elections, just listen to some coastal and university town liberals talk about how conformist and intolerant people in Red America are. It makes you wonder: why is it that people who are completely closed-minded talk endlessly about how open-minded they are?
