I started reading some columnist's ramblings about the latest goings-on in Washington yesterday, but the smug, liberal, holier-than-thou condescension was so irritating I couldn't get beyond the second paragraph. I fnd that I prefer to read smug, conservative, holier-than-thou condescension. I've tried to read smug, libertarian, holier-than-thou condescension, but nobody pays attention to libertarians, and they know it, so it comes off a little whiny. Whiny smugness is not attractive. If everyone could write about politics without smugness or condescension, the way I do, our political discourse would be much better.
