Progressives are feeling down

Lakshmi Chaudhry, senior editor of AlterNet has written an article that reveals the depths of hatred for those of us that voted for George Bush. The Unbearable Darkness of Being is a good indication of where the article heads. One quote to whet your appetite:

John Edwards was right in a way. There are two Americas: one that values tolerance, justice, and equality; the other that believes in Divine Will. But now that the Democrats lost the election – and control over every branch of government – I get to live in their America. And Carville wants me to talk to these guys? Or is he really saying that I need to be more like them? After all, it's not like I have any values that might be worth holding on to. Why not just put my silly liberal preoccupations with choice or sexual freedom aside so we can all come together as one nation—one nation under God, Guns, and (hating) Gays.
