This is great news. The Democrat party more firmly establishes itself as a leftist brand, which will be their launching pad in 2012.

“This is great news. The Democrat party more firmly establishes itself as a leftist brand...”

EXACTLY. The single most frustrating thing politically for me is trying to convince people just who liberals are and where they want to bring the country. When I was in college several decades ago, I met them, I partied with them, and I read their publications. I KNEW THEM. I also saw that they were the ones moving to position themselves into the media (i.e., EVERY journalism major was a Reagan-hater), government, and then into elected office.

After finishing college, I would tell my (reasonable) co-workers who they are, and they would humor me: “Of course, Bob, that nice little school teacher over there is really a closet Commie. Those people opposing Bush-41 are Commies - they just don’t say so. We all know they are...we’re not fooled (...geeze, what does it take to shut this guy up and what is he on).”

Of course, by and large, they were Commies - at least during their college days - and still had that ideal buried in their hearts, hoping for a day to prove to the world that they were right after all.

Anyway, it wasn’t until I saw the shock on their faces when I showed some REAL pictures of the people protesting the first Gulf War in 1991, that I figured out I was wasting my time with them. They simply were UNABLE to believe it.

I remember hearing Tony Snow (i.e., one of us) say that he really didn’t believe Rush when it came to education (he said he thought it was for show). I had believed Rush from Day 1, because everything he said matched exactly what I had seen and read - so I expect conservative leaders who research this stuff, like Tony, to also at least believe Rush. ...but now that he (Tony) had kids in school, everything that Rush said was right - these schools are run by Socialists who could care less about actually teaching kids, and, in many cases, were more interested in PREVENTING kids from learning (in order to bring America down a few notches).

Like just about everyone else on this site, I wished that the country could figure this out without having to go through dealing with a raw government attempt of having these people try impose their dreams on us...but no luck there. To most of America, there was NO WAY that ANYONE born here could HATE this country and want to bring it down (...and I’ll skip the Obama birth certificate issue, as this applies to all liberals). But I READ their materials, I went to their TEACH-INs, where they literally planned their revolution. I was right in the middle of these people. So I knew what was coming.

The Republicans, on the other hand, did let me down, as many, if not most of them, could not figure this out until they were hit over the head by a 2 by 4 (like Tony Snow, or now the Tea Party).

It seems odd that a culture this hateful to American life can grow up right under our noses, but they managed to stay pretty much under the radar...getting their college degrees (when their parents would rationalize that it was just a ‘phase’ they were going through), getting into government (but only at low levels), and then getting their goals implemented no matter who ran things, even during the 4 years that White House and Congress were owned by Republicans. Because no one (or really simply not enough people) on our side (who counted) understood the enemy. My co-workers knew about the Gulf War protest from the news, but the reason they were SHOCKED by my pictures (in one case, a guy carrying a giant Soviet flag) was that they assumed it was just a bunch of normal Americans who didn’t want us fighting over there...

There are even numerous examples of where these people actually wanted to end the society in which they lived. For example, in the 1980s they wanted a nuclear freeze to literally lock in a HUGE ADVANTAGE in Soviet power...that they knew would eventually work their way into the completion of world dominance. They actively supported the Commies in Central America, hoping to push revolution right into Mexico, and forcing us to bring home our troops from around the world (to defend our border from top of the line Soviet hardware), and make us into a withering has-been superpower, like Britain. They couldn’t see anything wrong with sending engineers to China to show them how to properly design multi-stage rockets. They have no problem with open borders...and could care less that a militant Hispanic sub-culture flourishes in many parts of the country. They are actively bringing in Muslims into Europe to dilute Western Culture and I guess eventually overthrow their Western Culture (no other outcome other than civil war is possible) - and then pass hate laws so that they can throw opponents of this policy into jail. They have ALWAYS considered the US Military as the biggest threat to world peace and could care less about other countries - they don’t even think that China has a military and could care less about their pace of modernization (i.e., they seem much more interested in getting rid of our nukes via the START Treaty, than saving them to oppose China). They look at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as something to tap for votes, since the stated need for the reserve (i.e., a way to keep this country alive if all hell breaks loose in the world) is not rational, since the ONLY threat to world peace is our own weapons, and they are dealing with neutralizing those weapons.

They knew “green jobs” are a joke but continue to push them on people that cannot take the time to also figure out what a joke they are - that for every windmill job, for example, something like 5 real jobs are lost to higher energy bills (i.e., these people are not stupid, they are very, very, intelligent - you can tell by reading their publications, they know exactly what “green jobs” will do the economy - which is why they push it instead of nukes).

And now they seem to be intentionally driving this country into the ground economically - they know our debt will lead to a full-scale collapse of our economy, once China pulls the plug - but since nothing else has worked, that’s fine.

Ok, that’s it for this morning - now on to America’s real problems: Did you hear that someone called Bristol a prostitute? Can you believe it?
