Unconscious Consumption

  • and said:

All of your depictions of people you consider blue, or blue-state, or whatever unnecesary and divisive cheap cliches are being used, are almost comical and certainly as off the mark as the same generalizations many liberals make about red people or red states etc (the whole blue/red thing comes from the TV networks, who have in the passed switched colors for each presidential election; we’ve made it hard for them to do that by claiming this crap as reflective of who we are as people, but you probably didn’t research that). I know many a progressive who does not shop at Dolce and Gabanna or drink double skim latte trappachinelos. Many of them are senior citizens who barely make ends meet but know a snake in the grass when they see one, usually a Republican. Likewise there are plenty of liberal Christians who think Jesus would be the first one throwing Wal-Mart and its saduceean rulers out of the temple. You’re not as stupid as we think you are, and we’re not as stupid as you think we are. I can’t take anything you say seriously when you’re writing about liberals and progressives in such a lazy way. Be a better writer. Be more incisive and honest, if you have it in you. And do stop and think sometime about the lessons you’re teaching your kids with the jars. They will grow up equating money with worth and, worse, with love. Oh, and more than likely they won’t be doing your taxes but putting you in a home somewhere so they don’t burn through all those quaters.
