See, I told you it was useless to argue with a True Believer. Oddly enough, I agree completely with your posted story from The Onion.
You've defined "snob" in a strange way, but do that extent you are acting like a whole lot of other people in our society. The USA has been increasingly becoming anti-intellectual and relying solely on what might be considered "magical thinking." BTW, people on the left end of the ideological spectrum are just as capable of such fuzzy-brained thinking, of which I despair just as much.
For the record, I'm not at all happy with what is likely to happen to the economy under an Obama administratrion; however, I'm sufficiently worried about the creeping loss of civil rights in this county under the current Republicans, and even more worried that McCain would continue that trend, that I'm prepared to vote for the Democrats to slow down -- it's probably impossible to stop -- the creeping police state into which we're slowly slipping.
My own personal political beliefs tend toward libertarianism, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many loony libs out there who think that libertarianism is "I have the right to do anything I want, and you don't."
I'm sorry that you feel you have to pour so much hatred onto someone simply because you disagree with them politically. Presumably I'm going to be one of the people up against the wall when the True Right Thinking People are in charge. But I do remember the series of quotes that ends with "And when they came for me, there was nobody to speak up," so therefore I feel I have to do something now before it's too late.
