We live in the age of Demagogue.

Demagoguery comes natural for Democrats, who believe in nothing but themselves anyway.

The Administration would probably be foolhardy to fight the masters at their own game. So they attempt to change the game...with massive, official iron-clad reports later (after the cement has hardened) that demonstrate incontrovertably that the demagogues were entirely wrong.

The problem is that this is a "patient" process for an unnervingly patient man (Bush) leading an impatient nation with a short attention span. And the interim is a killer.

And the Democrats never quail at being proved wrong, they merely move onto the next thing and demagogue that. For they don't need facts or proofs, they merely try to create an overall impression of chaos and lack of control and controversy. In other words, they only need to make the political environment nasty to turn people off and leave the field to their sycophants.

Fighting them in this society will not be easy and overcoming them is not a sure thing, even if everything they say and claim is wrong (as it most likely is).

An astute observation, within a very astute analysis.

Worth a separate mention.

And how is it that they can get away with this kind of behavior? Because the mainstream media lets them. Indeed, encourages and abets them.

Fortunately, there is the internet and talk radio, where the liberals can be called on their despicable demagoguery. Eventually, someday, perhaps, they will be called to account...
