I find a lot to disagree with in the linked article. To begin with, the idea that "liberals" have a significant voice in the national conversation such that we set the terms of debate. Health care reform negotiations started with single-payer off the table. Liberals are not in charge here. If liberals were in charge, Rahm Emanuel would be forcefully retired to Alaska and kept busy ice fishing. The genuinely liberal voices mentioned in that article are far from the corridors of power. What... you've got writers, professors, and a damn comedian. And the former head of the DNC who is generally held in disdain by the Washington establishment despite having been very successful at the job. If you're catching a snide tone from actual liberals it's because no one ever fucking listens to us even when history proves us fucking right. It's not condescension. We don't have the power to condescend. It's frustration, impatience and impotence. Because conservatives are fucking morons and they're basically in charge. So, yeah, boo fucking hoo sorry your insecure little mind was offended while your horrible ideas ruin the fucking country. (ETA: The Daily Show and Colbert Report are gallows humor.)

I mean seriously:

Perhaps the most important conservative insight being depreciated is the durable warning from free-marketeers that government programs often fail to yield what their architects intend. Democrats have been busy expanding, enacting or proposing major state interventions in financial markets, energy and health care. Supporters of such efforts want to ensure that key decisions will be made in the public interest and be informed, for example, by sound science, the best new medical research or prudent standards of private-sector competition. But public-choice economists have long warned that when decisions are made in large, centralized government programs, political priorities almost always trump other goals.

How many textbook examples of market failure do you  jackasses have to see before you're willing to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, sometimes a government program that doesn't work exactly as intended is better for the community than a free market that doesn't work exactly as intended?

A nice, gentle, bit of analysis about behaviors we get see around here on a regular basis.  Probably too gentle.
 
Every political community includes some members who insist that their side has all the answers and that their adversaries are idiots. But American liberals, to a degree far surpassing conservatives, appear committed to the proposition that their views are correct, self-evident, and based on fact and reason, while conservative positions are not just wrong but illegitimate, ideological and unworthy of serious consideration. Indeed, all the appeals to bipartisanship notwithstanding, President Obama and other leading liberal voices have joined in a chorus of intellectual condescension.

Why are liberals so condescending?

Nah, I just seem to naturally find myself with very left sort of guys, and it is probably better that way.

I document everything I post that isnt so ridiculously over-documented and over-discussed that asking for it is just a game.

The arrogance exists on both sides, however the majority of the remarks regarding lack of intelligence seem to come from the left.

Just my opinion.

Liberals seem condescending to conservatives because they're taller, healthier, more intelligent and more beautiful, have bigger cocks, tinglier clits, and are better in bed.

LOL and so true.  At least in my experience.  sowwy
