Maybe they'll open a Whole Foods in Appalachia.

The intellectual rational for tradition liberals and policy oriented progressives to work FOR the defeat of Barrack Obama in November are put forth beautifully here- by Bud White. ( A name I admit to being unable to resist noting - as his piece is about the Kos-Co wing of the Democratic Party's attempt to cleanse the party of lower class whites.) Please read it. The Arugulas are now all but admitting that an "ethnic cleansing" of the party is under way. Working class whites and Latinos are no longer wanted or welcome.

My on going derision of the Latte Wing of the party gets a big boost from Obama cultist Chris Bowers:

There should be a major cultural shift in the party, where the southern Dems and Liebercrat elite will be largely replaced by rising creative class types. Obama has all the markers of a creative class background, from his community organizing, to his Unitarianism, to being an academic, to living in Hyde Park to shopping at Whole Foods and drinking PBR. These will be the type of people running the Democratic Party now, and it will be a big cultural shift from the white working class focus of earlier decades.

Good God. Can you imagine? DNC meetings with Starbucks breaks to watch The Actors Studio on Bravo, and thumb through latest Vanity Fair.

Bowers is such a stereotype that he even uses shopping at Whole Foods as a marker for what the party should be. Pathetic. Any unreconstructed liberal who believes that progressives should be at the vanguard of ensuring a fair shake for the middle and lower classes has what amounts to a moral duty to oppose Obama. What Ducky at Kos-Co and Howard Dean want is nothing less than for the Democrats to be an Information Age Corporatist party. Rather like the GOP but based in the Hamptons and Brentwood - instead of Dallas and Kennebunkport.

The weakest members of our society are officially being thrown to the wolves by the Obama cabal. Voters in state after state have woken up to this fact and run from Obama. Nevertheless, the "creative class" wants its man. In order to salvage the Democratic Party thoughtful liberals are left no choice but to vote for McCain in November. With an Obama loss we can flush the wretched interlopers from our midst.
