Obama Voters Explain Their Brilliant Decision
3rd December 2008
The Hog isn’t doing politics any more. Heavens, no. Wouldn’t even think about it.
Liberalism appeals to coddled ivory-tower eggheads with high IQs and the common sense of lemmings, but it also appeals very strongly to people who are either unintelligent or ill-informed. Like many conservatives, I have had the experience of explaining undisputed, verifiable facts to self-proclaimed liberals, and then having them tell me they agree with conservative positions. Awareness tends to lead to conservative opinions. But we live in a nation which no longer educates its people, and a huge percentage of Americans know almost nothing and make decisions purely on the basis of emotion or a desire for approval from others.
Yup, just religion and cooking and guns and maybe tools. That’s all. No politics.
