This is a month in which the president of the United States has co-sponsored a UN resolution with the police state of Egypt to ban speech that defames religion; a month in which the Democratic Party has placed an amendment on a defense appropriations bill to make anti-gay speech a thought crime, and in which the White House has launched an all-out attack on the Fox News Channel because it didn’t like what Fox commentators were saying.

What passes for a brain will begin to function - but then with a burst of insight they’ll wisely declare “But he isn’t in charge now”.
Sadly, their vote counts just as much as a Conservatives.
“Governments are instituted among Men drawing their just powers from the consent of governed-, and whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter it or abolish it and institute new Government....’’ What are we waiting for?
They can't conceive of a world in which another Bush-like figure will ever hold office in this country again. Obama will make it so. They have defeated the Great Satan, Heil Obama! Totalitarian double-think is the new liberal norm.
