They’ve been unhinged ever since they failed, by such a close margin, to engage in enough fraud to win in 2000, and they are just getting worse.
What bugs me the most, is that they are going to lose another war for us and this time the enemy will follow us home.

I just read somewhere that pot smoking when you’re young can cause paranoia in later years. Think “conspiracy theorists”.
There have always been elements on the American Left that walked a fine line between mere delusion and positive derangement and for many years they existed on the fringes, content to allow mainstream Liberals like Hubert Humphrey, Ted Kennedy, and Walter Mondale define the general boundaries of Left opinion.
Beginning with the election of 2000, something began to change. A truly radical element began to dominate left-wing politics and it has impelled an entire political party (the Democrats, of course) beyond the ramparts and though they do not know it yet, toward an abyss that lies just beyond.
Driven not by ideology as much as by rage, the "Netroots" movement has distilled the most toxic of the ingredients of modern liberalism into a virtual psychotropic brew. Some of the elements: a rabid, personal hatred of the President in particular and of Republicans in general; a disdain for all private enterprise, traditional religion and Western culture; a belief that the US is responsible for all that is wrong with the world, coupled with a cruel desire for American military defeat abroad; an obsession with all manner of sordidness and perversity; and the identification of criminals as victims and victims as undeserving of sympathy.
Is it any wonder al Qaeda thinks they can defeat us?
