your posts remind me of something Rush hit upon years back and it's perpetually true - liberals get the most whacky when they're out of power. First it was the anti-war fever in the 60's and early 70's Nixon was president and the left went nuts. they mellowed during the era of Jimmy Carter. then Reagan came along and drove them totally bonkers. during Clinton they went haywire in the other direction and lost Congress and that sent them in the direction of the loony bin, only pausing from time to time, like after 9/11, when they held their breath during the major battles in Afghanistan, while reaching crazed psychotic hate pitch with the election of 2000 and, since, the furthered war on terror (to include Iraq).
Absolutely. They're the type of people who feel they have a birthright to govern, and when they're not, well...
They will continue this hate pitch until they regain power (and probably afterwards), which I hope doesn't come for quite some time. They have no ideas and many of them don't legitimately care for the interests of others (they have federal social programs as cover). Liberals are looking out for themselves. It's all about power.
Except this time, if a lefty like Kerry wins, I don't see any type of mellowing. They're committed to the loony side of things now, and it will only get worse.
