Columnist: 5 Ways Liberals Misjudge the American People

One of my favorite columnists, John Hawkins, is making a list again.

From his latest column:

One of the reasons liberals tend to do such an incredibly poor job of governing is that they fundamentally misunderstand the nature of the American people. Given that liberals also fundamentally misunderstand Christianity, the Constitution, economics, and human nature, I guess it's no big surprise that they don't get the American people either. Come to think of it, I guess it's pretty much par for the course. I mean, let's face it, without conservatives around to help keep them in check, liberals would utterly destroy everything that is good about America and most of them would be baffled about what they were doing wrong right up until the end. But enough about the Left's general lack of common sense -- let's talk about how they misjudge the American people.

1) They believe the American people want liberal policies.
2) Liberals believe that many Americans don't know what's in their own best interests.
3) Liberals believe that the American people want to be treated like children.
4) Liberals believe that most conservatives are evil.
5) Liberals believe they can lie to the American people without consequence.
