If conservatives rally around the flag in times of crisis, liberals rally around the clique.

Belief grouping is a natural human tendency, but it becomes dangerous when it’s used to make decisions for a majority, based on the worldview of a minority. Obama’s bibles and guns demonstrated more than contempt for ordinary Americans, but confusion and cluelessness. He genuinely did not understand those people, except on a completely ham-handed and condescending level.
