Invasion of the America Snatchers
By Jonah Goldberg for National Review
May 19, 2005
Huge chunks of the American population have been body-snatched by zomboid creatures from Canada, or possibly shudder Europe. Thats the only conclusion one can draw from the latest monumental study from the Pew Center for the People and the Press. O.K, its not the only conclusion you can draw, but its the one Im going to draw.
If you look very closely and study body language and speech, you may just discover that the liberals screeching at conservatives arent in fact Americans at all. They are Europeans taking on the form of Americans.
According to the Pew Center, the less you like to fly the American flag, the more likely it is you are Democrat. The more you think hard work and personal initiative arent the ticket to the good life, the more likely you are to be a Democrat. The more you believe the United Nations is a better steward of international relations, while America is a negative actor on the world stage, the more likely you are to be a Democrat. The more you believe that the government is there to help, the more likely it is you are Democrat. The less seriously you take religion, the more likely you are to be a Democrat. Flip all of these values around and the more likely it is you are a Republican or that you vote that way.
Of course, Im speaking in terms of statistical generalities. Obviously, there are a great many flag-waving, God-fearing, government-mistrusting, U.N.-hating Democrats out there. But they are the exceptions to the rule.
