Elitist liberal snobs just can't understand why the ignorant, unwashed folk they want to help don't appreciate it

There is a reason why Barack Obama is in trouble with blue collar whites.

There is a reason why liberals are always in trouble with blue collar whites.

That reason is neither racism nor ignorance (the person who sent me the article I link to below speaks four languages, and has taken a considerable excursion down the road to his doctorate- yet reports having been called a "redneck" by leftists with a third of his education).

The reason is that liberals are, at heart, elitists. They think they're better than people they're out to save from their own stupidity.

And patronizing people is just not a good way to get their votes.
