Me conservative, me no read books
.
This from Michelle Malkin
Pat Schroeder, the old feminist Democrat who cried when she withdrew from a presidential bid in 1987, retired from Congress in 1997, and now serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Association of American Publishers, where they think it is wise to trash and mock conservative consumers. What does she think of you and me? We’re Neanderthals, of course:
Liberals read more books than conservatives. The head of the book publishing industry’s trade group says she knows why—and there’s little flattering about conservative readers in her explanation.“The Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a couple slogans: ‘No, don’t raise my taxes, no new taxes,’” Pat Schroeder, president of the American Association of Publishers, said in a recent interview. “It’s pretty hard to write a book saying, ‘No new taxes, no new taxes, no new taxes’ on every page.”
Schroeder, who as a Colorado Democrat was once one of Congress’ most liberal House members, was responding to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll that found people who consider themselves liberals are more prodigious book readers than conservatives.
She said liberals tend to be policy wonks who “can’t say anything in less than paragraphs. We really want the whole picture, want to peel the onion.”
Here’s the poll Schroeder’s referring to, but the gulf in book reading that Schroeder perceives is not backed up by the actual poll results: Read the rest at Michelle Malkin
My two cents:
Ok I’m gonna say something that you white people can’t say because you of course would be defined as racist.
Most illegal immigrants, Hispanics, whatever are uneducated and they vote Democrat.
90 percent of black folks, considering the dropout rate of black folks from high school vote Democrat.
Compare the likes of Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Jesse Lee Peterson, Shelby Steele, Stanley Crouch, Star Parker, John McWhorter, with idiot liberal Democrats like;
Jessie “Scam” Jackson, Al “perm” Sharpton, Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin, Corey “Sanctuary Negro” Booker, Major “40 million shark eaten slaves” Owens, Cynthia “Mad Black Woman” McKinney, Shiela “damm they voted for me” Jackson Lee, hell anyone in the Congressional Negro Congress and any Negro mayor of a decrepit decaying major American city.
Let’s not forget the liberal hippies I trip over while browsing downtown Lawrence, I don’t see them reading any books. I do admire how they like to trash the bathrooms at Boarders throwing feces on the walls (true story, no joke).
And most liberals are young skulls full of mush, young Democrat types whose burning desire to be part of something blindly jump onto political Democrat bandwagons without processing the lunacy propagated by your run of the mill liberal politician.
I don’t get how people come up with this perceived “intelligence” gap between us Conservative types and liberals.
So Snoop does not read Harry Potter, Harlequin romance or cryptic sci-fi novels.
I easily read enough blog, news, and editorial, material equal to a good size book a week.
Anywho, I can’t wait for the day when they can implant book knowledge directly into my brain like Commander Data, so I don’t have to take away from my video game playing time.
