John Leo writes in his New York Daily News column today about “those muddled liberals”.
It’s too bad he didn’t go on at greater length because he was so on the right track. I got a chuckle but could have had a good guffaw.
In my ceaseless efforts to discover how liberals think, my great advantage is living in Manhattan, where everybody is liberal. It is here that I recently discovered a relatively new argument about terror: The next attack on America, if it comes, will likely be minor and tolerable. I was assured that a dirty bomb is the most likely weapon, and that it would probably do no more damage than an industrial accident would. So not to worry. The real problems are fear, panic and violations of civil liberties – not terror.
OK just one more snippet:
Here are some other themes of liberal conversation, Manhattan division:
Bush got reelected because Americans are stupid. A couple of days before the election, I chatted with a prominent liberal who said over and over that Bush is a liar and Americans are dumb.
I need to keep my eye on Leo’s column in the future.
