"A Better Deal" ? Oh be still my beating heart.

So Democrats, including good 'ol Charlie Schumer, he of the compulsively dismissive demeanor and eastern megalopolis accent so beloved of Dixie, have repaired to Berryville,Va, to "relate" to the real America, to advance a disingenuous mea culpa for sneering at the values which inform and motivate the masses which such as Charlie usually view only from 35,000 feet while transitting flyover country.  Why, bless me for a fool, but I expect to see them in Ulster Co. , N.Y.  (a full 60 miles north of NYC) soon. Berryville is within easy driving distance of DC in northern VA and all of us who have been in that area have seen how the presumptuous liberal amoeba has spread from the regions it wasted in NY and NJ across the Mason Dixon line.  Don't know if it has ingested Berryville yet but I'll bet its close. You can bet that the Dems chose a place for their insincere auto da fe in which they thought themselves unlikely to encounter the cynicism their appearance would prompt most anywhere between Binghamton and Bakersfield. And they made promises, yes, that they have learned from their misdeeds and will be loyal Americans forthwith. Heavenly days! 

I'm hilariously reminded of accounts of a very wealthy Congressional candidate from a fairly foo-foo town in our otherwise down to earth district having come to our very conservative area in an ill fitting Jethro Bodine style suit and white socks promising our rod and gun club undying support for NRA, which he repudiated once empowered. I have no automatic animus against the wealthy; I know many of them have worked hard and long for their prosperity.  But this guy - honorable yes, civic minded and a Marine - nevertheless displayed all the snooty prejudices of those who move in circles insulated from the rest of us.  He plainly believed that he was elected to exercise, solely, his exalted judgement above that of his excusably benighted constituency.

And so, certainly, does this Charlie led appellate seek to do. What strikes me is that they find it within themselves to swallow their collective gorge and venture into the provinces.  They must be scared; nothing else could move them so. And that strongly suggests that they have good reason for dread.

We may have them on or close to the ropes.  We have nothing to lose by assuming as much and like any fighter who truly wants to win, wading in with EVERYTHING at this point. May I be as presumptuous as to say ( though we do not face yet the terror which prompted this famous exhortation) that this is one of the times which "try men's souls".  We've gone toe to toe with the left and we may have it down;  do we have the guts to beat it into the ground as it would surely do to us?
