I was going to mention that earlier, but I figured nobody was going to
care enough to point that out. There's two things that account for
this, the first being of course that not everyone is one of the "Fox
Faux Conservatives", though it certainly seems that way when you're out
here a while. The second is good old-fashioned cognitive dissonance.
The most successful of the faux conservative Long Islanders buy condos
in Manhattan. It amazes me sometimes how many of the hard right take up
residence in the place they claim to despise only slightly less than a
place they call the People's Republic of Massachusetts. If it's so
evil, why do they go _live there_?
