Things that make you go hmmm...

One of the election lessons for Democrats is that while the Left doesn't understand the Right, the Right can't help but understand the Left, because the Left is in charge of pop culture. Urban blue staters can go their entire lives happily innocent of the world of church socials and duck hunting and Boy Scout meetings, but small-town red staters are exposed to big-city blue-state values every time they turn on the TV.

I think I can honestly say that I understand much more (but certainly not all) about the challenges of life as a homosexual or African-American without knowing what it's like to want to go hunting or attend a Christian parochial school.
