Peter Beinart, meet the red-blooded 'NASCAR Man'

I write this in the hope that I can help Peter Beinart understand "NASCAR Man" ["Liberals need our convictions, not NASCAR," May 21].

NASCAR Man, as Mr. Beinart puts it, loves guns, which is a constitutional right. He loves his pickup truck, because he will need it to help a friend move.

He chews tobacco, because liberals have told him that smoking is offensive to others. And he attends church on Sunday for spirituality and moral grounding.

NASCAR Man prays not just to God, but to "the Lord Jesus Christ" before he even "starts his engines."

I don't think Mr. Beinart will ever win him over, as he put it. NASCAR Man is in all of us. He is common sense. He is the moral grounding of our culture.

As a nation, we have evolved. We have done this together, the left and right working toward a common goal.

I shudder to think of where we would be without the fundamental beliefs of NASCAR Man.

Liberals will never silence NASCAR Man. Hear the engines--they can be deafening.
