Take a political movement that was developed via modern sensibilities and enlightened ideological exploration, that flourished during a cultural orgy of unbounded depravity and ultimately - due to a natural shifting of cultural sensibilities - lost touch with mainstream ideas and was in the process of being discarded. What would happen to that movement? Pardon the apparent hyberbole for a moment and recall what happens to sewerage. Once the water is filtered from the solid waste, that sludge is deposited in ponds where it evaporates to a superconcentrated paste of septic waste.
America is well into the turning of the Cultural Revolution resulting in a maturation of sensibilities, and a renewed appreciation of ethics, morals, values, and integrity. As more and more 'good' citizens evaporate from Liberalism and the Democrat party, all that will be left is the filth... that which is untreatable, not compatible, will go nowhere else..
... and stinks unbearably of rot and decomposition.
What is being Left is a toxic poison that is attempting to feed itself to humanity... by force.

Some posted an excellent article by the late, lamented Russell Kirk about what being a conservative is, and I'd be interested in a leftist version of that. I really want to see a thoughtful (yeah, I know...) piece by a lefty setting out in similar 10-point fashion just what these people honestly believe. It'd be interesting to see how their imagined behavior matches or doesn't match their actual behavior.
I saw a moment of Live 8 and it was truly sad to hear these uninformed idiots throw criticism at Bush, a man who's done far, FAR more for Africa than any democrat, ever. Their whiney peacenic "Don't make them pay for money they got from us" stuff is pathetic--these people call their lawyers if their portion of receipts from their CDs and concerts looks fishy, but they are whining about us eating billions.
