Blue America: The land of the easily offended

Dennis Prager's latest article is a good reflection on yet another difference between liberals and conservatives. One aspect which he failed to mention is that so many liberals are secularists or atheists, and so liberalism is their religion. It's easy to be offended when someone attacks your religion. For so many (religious) conservatives they are Christians/Jews/Other first, Americans second, and conservatives third. So if you insult their conservatism it kind of rolls off their backs. I was intrigued to see that my particular minority made his list.

Update: Mike Rosen's weekly piece provides a specific example of the phenomonen.
