Dennis Prager on red vs. blue America

Dennis Prager has a good column on the concept that there are "2 Americas"- one red and one blue (as per the election map). I'm afraid he's right. It just seems that a lot of the people that I know look at the world in a completely different way than I do. A good couple of paragraphs from the article:

"The left prefers to identify as citizens of the world. The left fears nationalism in general (this has been true for the European left since World War I), and since the 1960s, the American left has come to fear American nationalism in particular. On the other side, the right identifies first as citizens of America.

The left therefore regards the notion of American exceptionalism as chauvinism; the United Nations and world opinion are regarded as better arbiters of what is good than is America. The right has a low opinion of the U.N.'s moral compass and of world opinion, both of which it sees as having a much poorer record of stopping genocide and other evils than America has."

It is troubling, but I think that Dennis has it right.
