So we don't look on Tea-hadists with scorn because they are ***** and unfathomable. We do so because we recognize these very traits as ours and those of our neighbors."All in the ******" wasn't the most popular show in the Northeast because Archie Bunker was despised. It was popular because he was comfortably familiar. But at least he was a character. Nobody tried to run him for President.
And it ain't just President Obama. It is a lot else: If your job can be done on the Indian sub-continent, who are you better than? If China can launch a spaceship, who are you better than? If the world looks at the mighty Dollar as little better than an American Peso, who are you better than? If an immigrant can work your ass into the ground, and do it smiling for a lot less money, who are you better than?
A whole lot of life has been shaken and stirred the last couple of decades.
