Why does this woman's viewpoint have no traction?

Because Americans prefer opinion to knowledge

ignorance to illumination

rumor to fact

irrational "feeling" over demonstrable fact

stupefaction to enlightenment

stasis to movement

regression to progress

pleasure to joy

rugged individualism to The Common Good

Self-aggrandizement to a Social Contract

exceptions-to-rules over dependable generalities

decerebrate simplification to contextualization

moated isolation to community participation

wishful thinking to scientific finding

Impossibly Pure Principles to bipartisan collaboration
ideological intransigence to domestic tranquility

punishment to reward

avarice to economic justice

acquisitiveness to sharing

harshness to mercy
vengeance to forgiveness

condemnation to love

Rush Limbaugh to Jon Stewart

Ann Coulter to Stephen Colbert

Dennis Miller to Bill Maher

P.J. O'Rourke to George Carlin
