So the modern Democrats have decided their justification for enduring widespread vote fraud. IMO, as they have been losing in the arena of ideas, this is not surprising. We had best prepare for the new battleground. No more "Gentlemen's campaign". Battle them to the end! Don't let them falsely wrest control of our government!

[Outraged]

It goes like this: Bush stole the presidency four years ago, then proceeded to act as if he had a mandate, so now we're entitled to do whatever it takes to defeat him, to say whatever we want.

Lies built on lies...the DemocRAT party platform.

**Bush stole the presidency four years ago, then proceeded to act as if he had a mandate, so now we're entitled to do whatever it takes to defeat him, to say whatever we want.**

It is a scary picture -- and explains why the dims have been bouncing off the walls and misbehaving in general.

This column is right on the money.

You may agree or not, as you wish, with George W. Bush, but he is a good man who cares about his country. How his opponents can justify what they are doing is beyond me.

[Sivad]

If the DemocRATS think that an ill-gotten victory by Kerry
would be the end of animosity, they are sadly mistaken.

[Congressman Billybob]

This is plain-spoken truth. But it also appears only in the Weekly Standard. So that means only a small fraction of the public will ever read it. Barnes is preaching to the choir, here.

It is a worthwhile effort. But it won't reach enough people.

Wow! Fred is really fired up! And he is absolutely dead on target. Thank God this is the beginning of the end of the MSM.

It began back when the 'Rats and the media decided to cover up for Hitlery when she decided to destroy the White House travel office and attempted to have them railroaded into prison with trumped up charges. At THAT instant they decided that the ends justified the means and it has gotten worse every election since then.

When they lose this one and if they lose more congressional seats in 2006, by 2008 they will routinely resort to physical violence against GOP supporters and will genuinely surprised when they are arrested and jailed for it.

By 2010, the mullahs in Iran will run the DNC from Indonesia.

The reason why the Dems are apoplectic is because the next President will get to pick at least 3 USSC Justices (and the Chief Justice). It isn't about Iraq. If a President Gore had invaded Iraq they would have rooted him on. But, they need those Leftists on the Supreme Court to determine that anything other than leftist tyranny is unconstitutional.

[Wolfstar]

Good article, but I don't think Fred goes quite far enough. This isn't just Dems acting out on a sense of entitlement. This is Leftist thuggery that's as old as the statist movement. When the Left does not get its way, it has always used violence, riot, intimidation, civil unrest, and the overthrow of governments to force their will upon a society.

[wardaddy]

You see it in the religious bigotry against the president, a born-again Christian, and against his conservative Christian supporters. Without any evidence, Bush's opponents accuse him of believing that he has a direct line to God and that God gives him instructions, such as when to invade Iraq, and that any criticism of him is illegitimate. You see the bigotry as well in the belittling of Christians who support Bush as if their political views have no standing or worth because they may have been influenced by their religious faith.

This is why they hate Bush (and folks like me so). The 2000 election is a sore point. The WOT is a convenient whipping boy focal point but the cultural values espoused by Dubby that I mostly share is where the rubber meets the road. Folks here who think the culture war is over or unimportant are naive and foolish. One day we will have to fight here over that very conflict. Take the checksheet of the ACLU or SPLC or NOW or Emily's List or an Greenie outfit or the NAACP or LULAC and you can basically check all of the above "yes" for almost any lefty or all of the above "no" no for any righty. The only exception are skeered socially lib soccer mommies, jews, and religious blacks who may vote out of character over the WOT....maybe some youngbloods as well but the schism is still over cultural polarization. Continued unbridled immigration may make all this moot anyhow but for now it's grim even when we win Tuesday. I have no doubt.

Excellent article. I saw this type of look at things laid out in Celsius 41.11. Did anyone else see it, and was the story of how the whole thing happened with the 2000 election laid out correctly? It said when the media started calling Florida for Gore, alot of voters in the earlier time zones went home, because they figured Gore won. Bush may have won the popular vote if the media had waited. This is true, right? Even though I voted Bush in 2000, I payed attention half-heartedly and have changed alot since 9/11, so I'd appreciate input from anyone who was paying more attention in 2000. It made sense to me, but was surprised I had never heard it. It just sounds like Bush could have had the popular vote in 2000. This whole thing is enormously disturbing.

But notice Fred doesn't deny that Rove produced the Osma Bin Laden video.

[eagle11]

These are the actions of hysterical people who are in an identity crisis, and almost completely without the power to influence government. They lived off the subsidies of their allies in the media too long, and now must learn to win on the merits of their ideas.

So the modern Democrats have decided their justification for enduring widespread vote fraud

They don't look at it as fraud.

Like all Marxists, the US Democratic party believes in the "iron laws of history", one of which is the Brezhnev Doctrine: The Armies of Socialism March in Only One Direction.

From 1932 to 1980, American elections and the Marx-Brezhnev formulation moved in the same direction. The conversion of remaining conservatives in the US was "only a matter of time", so it was only a question of prudence for the RATs how fast to move and how hard to push.

The problem for this claque of vulgar Marxists is that the tide has been running out, not in, since 1980-catastrophically since 1994.

Their hold on the people, their appointment as the revolutionary vanguard, is no longer in the electorate. Since our Constitution and our republican form of government changes things slowly, they are hanging on in the courts and in the academy (which they won in the 1960s, almost fifty years ago now).

They are as scared as Bushmen watching the sun disappear in a solar eclipse. Their false doctrine is teetering on the edge of a precipice.

They are capable of anything.

When you shoot at a vicious animal, don't shoot to wound. The modern Republican party does not understand the rules of the game.

Let's roll, tomorrow and beyond.

You see it in the bumper stickers that call for the "re-defeat" of President Bush. You see it in the destruction of Bush yard signs and posters all across the country. You see it in the harassment, at least in blue states, of anyone wearing a Bush pin or button. You see it in the hatred of Bush by his opponents, who think they're only venting righteous indignation.
