I'll have to say, though, a good point was brought up to me the other day; part of the Democrat's problem is that, like the Republicans, they're terribly elitist, the Republicans have the good sense to hide it from the unwashed masses.
It doesn't make sense to elitists like us why field-dressing a moose is somehow honorable, or "hunting" defenceless animals is "sport" and "American", but that's because our palates are better able to distinguish arugula from iceberg, and would rather have our tofu slaughtered humanely. While we, too, would like to have a drink with our elected leaders, our drinks would probably be finely crafted South African sherries in a cozy salon--which is miles away from the car bombs that they'd be drinking in dive bars whose ideas of beer stein sanitation begin and end with a rinse in lukewarm water that hasn't been changed since the week before.
Most of America is about that small-town sensibility: to us, we only see the slow, stagnant death of crushed dreams, hopeless resignation, and meth-fueled escapism, but to them they see familiarity with their neighbors and plenty of young, soon-to-be-marital tail. Oh, and [insert minority here]-bashing.
Which is always fun. That last part, I can totally understand. I hate those ****ing gooks who come here to take our PhD slots, and those fags who always seem to want to suck my dick.
Wait, no. I meant to say, small-town values are American values. Christian values.

Heck, most Americans can't even afford to live in America.
