So many words, when you need only one.
Scum!

I think your definitions are pretty humorous and accurate, except for the environmentalists. There, I wish to point out, that conservatives were the original and true environmentalists. Remember Teddy Roosevelt? I think what has happened there is that the original environmentalist movement of the 70's was pretty successful in forcing restrictions on polluters. The young people in this forum don't remember what it was like when raw industrial waste was dumped, untreated, upstream from other peoples drinking water supplies.
But what has happened is that the original environmental movement was pretty successful. So the mainstream members dropped out since it was successful. Thus leaving the radicals to take over. Kind of like if the KKK and Stormfront and other wacko "right-wing" groups were to hijack the conservative movement (not a chance, they have been chased out and marginalized). We should probably figure out how to distinguish between the wacko "environmentalists" like PETA and the legitmate ones (that got lead based paint and lead based gasoline banned, coal fired power plants to scrub, and catalytic converters put on cars.) [I am sure now that someone will call me an enviro-wacko, and how catalytic converters are harmful and nothing is wrong with lead and they put DDT on their cornflakes. In my observation such people are normally 30 years old or younger, or if older then could have been standins for the banjo scene in Deliverance.]

The longer the war in Iraq is delayed, the greater the number of idiot leftists who take the opportunity to reveal their idiocy. In another week, we'll know who all the stupid people are, and we'll be able to watch for their total humiliation once the Bush Brigade breezes into Baghdad to the cheers of the formerly oppressed -- and the boos of the human shields.
Perhaps this, too, is part of the Bush strategery.

The one thing you omitted, for whatever reason, about the enviros and The Left is that all that remains in the enviro movement are the real wackos and extremists - among them are those who eschew the right of private property. They believe that all land should belong to all the people (Communism) and no one should be able to own any property of their own (see John Lennon's
Imagine --- "Imagine no possessions...").
Unfortunately for them, American's are not going to give up the right to own property. So the EnviroLeft has adopted the tactic that, if they can't TAKE the land, they can take the VALUE of the land by rendering it useless through overarching regulation in the name of environmentalism. Thus, you run your sprinkler a little too long one night and all of a sudden you wake up to find your house in a Wetland. Federally-protected, no less. So now, even though they couldn't take your house, they CAN make sure that you can't get the value out of it by selling it.
There are a lot of pieces of property in this country designated as wetlands that are merely ground that's poorly-drained. So the enviros want the land, but can't just outright TAKE it, so they Wetland it. Then, when you finally die and your property becomes worthless, THEN they take it - and fill it in and build an entitlement office on it.
The environment is only window-dressing for these control freaks. Their REAL plan is public ownership of all land in the country and the destruction of private property.

EXCELLENT POST
There is only one grave dificency left, which would be nice if it could be addressed.
Unfortunately those that pose as conservatives, yet are moderate Bush-Bot types don't yet have the courage to stand on raw principle, thinking that would work.
When one compromises with corruption it is the corruption that erodes ones ethics and right position. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Only fools think that compromising with the corrupt will ultimately get you to where you want to be.
The deficiency is only that those who should view this article and understand it will refuse to.
