These guys are absolutely right, BUT IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.

Why? Think of the figures that defeated communism, and triggered the greatest global expansion of democracy and freedom in modern times. Ronald Reagan, Jean Kirkpatrick, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, etc. What else do many of these giants have in common? THEY'RE FORMER DEMOCRATS.

Republicans drew off the cream of your crop decades ago, feckless fools. No serious person genuinely committed to the defense and expansion of human freedom will now join the dregs that remain.

Liberal? Progressive? Your ilk are neither, and haven't been for a generation.

And that's a shame, in a sense. They were old style liberals. They didn't move so much as their party did. I lament the passing of Democrats from relevancy, not because I believe in most of their agenda, but because the political system needs competition to discourage dishonesty. If everyone is a Republican, where's the competition?

They were Democrats when Democrats were what conservatives are now.

They were not Democrats as Democrats are today- God- hating, America-hating, freedom-hating socialists.

Those giants ceased being Democrats when Democrats ceased being American.
