Thanks for posting the entire article. It took time and it is appreciated.

Rush Limbaugh has been saying the liberals have no real substance for some time. He is right and the author of this article is right.

I found it interesting Republican Jewish intellectuals and supporters are described by the main stream press as "neocons." When almost every hitter and contributor to this new change in this article has a Jewish surname, no mention is made.

IMHO the glue that binds all the liberal elites is an intense dislike for traditional values and mores and a marked antipathy or barely restrained tolerance for religious belief. We are in an undeclared culture war and the outcome is yet to be determined.

My pleasure. Thanks for your kind words.

You might be correct about what binds liberals together, but I also see this trend, repeatedly: there is a complete lack of ability or interest by Dem Leaders in identifying those in their own party who have something to offer; so, they ignore talent and the talented people eventually realize they can actually go somewhere else.

That's why the Dems have no "farm team" of candidates in FL. They do not nurture talent at all.
It's like treating people as if they were garbage, while the other side is constantly recognizing these treasures the liberals have thrown away. One side disgards; one side recovers what has been abandoned.

I don't know if that came out the way I meant it, but it is based on my own observation, which is also mentioned in that article -- that people are always leaving the Dem Party. The movement is not that people are fleeing the GOP - it is the Dem Party they flee.
