According to a Gallup Poll dated 1 August, 41% of Americans self-identify as conservatives, 36% as moderate, and 21% as liberal.
Liberals have only themselves to blame for their poor showing. Their extremism and reckless deviation from common sense condemn them in the eyes of most of us. The op-ed columnists of the once-great New York Times, for example, are an extremist lot. Have you ever read a Krugman column? Or this morning's bit of hyperventilation from Joe Nocera in which he likens Tea Partiers to terrorists?
