Public Unions Are The Country's

Americans Are Very Smart About The Things They Care About, And Ignorant About The Things They Don't.

Liberals And Leftists Have Been Dismissing Inconvenient Facts By Attacking Motives For Generations. In The 1930s, '40s, And '50s, Soviet Spies And Abettors Attacked The Motives Of Their Accusers Because The Fact Of Their Guilt Was Undeniable. In The 1960s, Over A Thousand Psychiatrists Who'd Never Even Met Barry Goldwater Signed A Petition Saying The Gop Candidate Was Too Mentally Unstable To Be President.

The Gop Needs To Figure Out A Way To Become More Appealing To New Constituencies.

Look, I Think Liberals Have Reasonable Gripes With Fox News. It Does Lean To The Right, Primarily In Its Opinion Programming But Also In Its Story Selection (which Is Fine By Me) And Elsewhere. But It's Worth Remembering That Fox Is Less A Bastion Of Ideological Conservatism And More A Populist, Tabloidy Network.

The Founders Understood That Democracy Was Important, But If You Didn't Filter It Through A Republican System You'd Be Just As Likely To End Up With A Tyranny Of The Majority As You Would With A Healthy Society. Don't Worry, I Won't Quote The Federalist Papers, But Trust Me, It's In There.
