Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed.
Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people.
But the people have proved so disappointing.
Ah, the people, the little people, the small-town people, the "bitter" people, as Barack Obama in an unguarded moment once memorably called them, clinging "to guns or religion or" -- this part is less remembered -- "antipathy toward people who aren't like them."
That's a polite way of saying: clinging to bigotry.
And promiscuous charges of bigotry are precisely how our current rulers and their vast media auxiliary react to an obstreperous citizenry that insists on incorrect thinking.
Why, racist resentment toward a black president.
-- Opposition to a 15-story Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero?
Who can possibly govern a nation of racist, nativist, homophobic Islamophobes?
