Rubbish. You greatly over estimate the power of liberalism.

Those same democrats you suggest are able to destroy this country were ready to secede again when President Bush got re-elected.

Yeah, we know liberalism has been on the defensive and in retreat for the past forty years. I guess we can blame conservatives for out of control entitlements, illegitimacy, abortion, affirmative action, the trashing of the Constitution, homosexual indoctrination in the schools, the dumbing down of our educational system, sanctuary cities, and the fact that about half the population was ready to put an anti-war activist in the White House three years after 9/11.

Those same democrats you suggest are able to destroy this country were ready to secede again when President Bush got re-elected.

That's because liberalism is a totalitarian psychotic disorder. The further to the left the country goes, the more hysterical the demands of the left become. And the more rabid the left becomes in its adamancy that conservatism be completely suppressed and eliminated. America today is clearly far to the left of what it was forty years ago, but that just creates a demand for it to move further to the left. And anyone even mildly resisting moving further to the left (such as President Bush, who is actually not even very conservative) triggers mouth-foaming hysteria on the left. It's called "Bush Derangement Syndrome", but it'll be called something else once he leaves office.

This is why Bush is hated even more than Ronald Reagan. Reagan was clearly more conservative, but the country is much further to the left now than it was in the eighties. That makes the leftists all the more hysterical, all the more demanding, all the more totalitarian, and all the more convinced that anyone who disagrees with them on anything is a "fascist" monster who needs to be eliminated.

That's why they were screaming that America was just an intolerable place for liberals to live after the 2004 elections. Even though we were further to the left than we'd ever been, the fact that Bush wasn't ready to completely surrender to our enemies or to sign a bill banning discrimination against men who wear women's clothes was seen by them as "proof" that America was becoming a Hitlerian regime.
