The Daily Plunge

I learned something very valuable today after my brief post on liberal condescension. It all started when Jeff Beck (no, not that Jeff Beck) came across my link on Twitter. I guess liberal RE/MAX real estate agents will not ever be fans of The Daily Plunge.

There’s something heartwarming about the use of “not” in that bitter assessment of my entry. Even though it’s not 1993 anymore some people still think using “not” is funny. Now, I’m not going to pick too much on @top20reos. Although I’m sure he won’t mind. As Bob Wiley once said: “He’s so high above us, we’re like ropes on the Goodyear blimp.” For someone who acts like they don’t care about what conservatives think he spends a lot of time trying to agitate people on the right.

Needless to say I engaged Mr. Beck via Twitter but it was a lost cause. He didn’t want to directly answer anything I had to say. It was easier to hurl insults about the quality of The Daily Plunge. I guess I would be upset but I’m not sure I really care about the opinion of a liberal tweeter who uses his real estate agent account to attack conservatives. Anyway, the only reason I bring this up is because of Jeff Beck’s last meaningful tweet to me.

@top20reos: Intelligent people rarely, if ever experience condescension. Think about it.

That really sums it all up. People like Jeff Beck feel like they’re intellectually superior to any conservative. Is it really surprising that every prominent conservative’s intelligence is attacked? The reason why true liberals will never be honestly elected nationally in the United States is because they don’t understand the average American.

Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” – Ronald Reagan

“But Henshaw, Obama was elected and he’s liberal.” Oh, I know, but he didn’t run as a liberal. Obama ran as a post-partisan centrist. He was helped by his sparse record and the fact he ran in 2008, a year any Democrat could have won. The fact is if Obama ever wants to be reelected he’ll have to act more conservative. If intelligent people rarely ever feel condescension, then liberals like Jeff Beck must never be happy. It must be depressing to know that your political beliefs are a pariah to the average American.
