I pray your correct, but I believe their power has grown for the last decade.

They are more dangerous now, and even more so because the public actually pays more attention to news since 9/11.

I know that even Rush disagrees with me, but he is being either delibrately up beat, or he is just too close to see the truth. Even the serious and intellectual "right-wing" press is more concerned with their reputations at their elite NY and DC parties.

Actually the opposite is true. They are losing power, and that is why they appear so "insane" right now. Unlike Republicans, who had to adjust to being without power for many years, this is all new to the left.

Readership in newspapers, and magazines are going down. Viewership of the network news is going down. Outlets like talk radio, and the internet, has now made it impossible for the left to tell a lie, and not get caught.

I am ashamed to admit that I actually believed what I read in newspapers and magazines until the mid 1970s when what I was reading did not fit with what I knew to be true. At the time, I thought I was alone, in these beliefs, but now I know I wasn't.

Take heart, we are at the turning point, the storm is overhead, and if we can hang on for a little while longer, it will pass, taking the Democratic party with it.

One of the things that has given me hope is knowing that after 50 years of Communism, religion is still alive and well in Eastern Europe. The socialist can suppress people and opinions, but they can not change what is in our hearts.

We are living that Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."
