Congeries of cross connected concepts
This post at the Brothers Judd quotes a NY Times article about the Senate hearings for USSC nominee Sam Alito. The essence is that the Democratic Party can’t understand why they can’t portray someone opposed to their ideology as out of the mainstream. The Democratic Party stalwarts naturally blame this on the massive and deceitful propaganda of the Bush Regime along with Republican control of all of the media in the USA. People in the real world, however, note that Alito (and Roberts before him) are closer to the mainstream than the modern Democratic Party.
As always, two thoughts occur. The first is the resemblance between the Sunni in Iraq and the Democratic Party in the USA. Both are living on the illusion that they represent the majority when in fact they have been left behind by the tides of history.
The other is that, as incomprehensible as this failure to recognize plain facts is, it’s understandable. To accept this reality is to give up a one’s entire world view. It takes a lot of strength of character to do that and such strength has not been a notable characteristic of either group.

Spot on. A reverance for the truth would help them. But they are so heavily in thrall to the affirmation of even smaller and stranger sects, as well as vain, that they can’t escape the cul-de-sac. They will change when they are mocked on the street and can’t get a good table at a prized restaurant.
Hispanics have fared poorly under Judge Samuel Alito's judicial philosophy and likely would continue
