Ponder, if you will, the sub-intellectual basis for some of Sarah Palin’s popularity among “Joe six pack” types.
It goes two ways.
I’m far more concerned with the underlying values that give people proclivities to choose an Obama.
He and his wife seem to reject the tradictional values that formed the foundation for this great nation (notwithstanding its faults).
They make me fear for the future of this country but many if not most Obama supporters do not consider the likely consequences of him getting elected.
Democracy is traditionally based on the notion of the reasonable man. Without reason and a certain amount of probity it can’t survive.
