Great article. Having dealt with many of the major players in the VC industry in Silicon Valley it always tickles me when I read articles about their support of the Democrats. In the Board Room they are the most Republican SOB's you could ever meet. Perform or quit is their modus operandi. They don't waste time on people who can't deliver and they won't continue to fund companies that aren't growing at their forecasted rates.

Since the social plans the Dems are famous for are not easily measured for effectiveness one has to wonder about their motivations. There are some obvious things like easily acquired work visas for their imported technical workforce, to tax breaks on R&D, etc., etc.

I'm too tired to think about it more deeply but it's just darn funny when you know the way these guys function in real life.

Yes, but the real meaning of this article is that the Rats now see that they need to reinvest billion in their disinformation machine and bring it to new venues such as the internet. Conservatives should not be too sanguine about this as the Rats may well succeed. One must never forget that a large portion of the electorate is exceedingly gullible and that the Rats have much deeper pockets then we do. They also have absolutely no scruples. We should not be crowing about the pending demise of the Democrat party. These people survived the Civil War, for Pete's sake.

If Kerry wins these people will be so emboldened that it is truly frightening to contemplate what they will do.

It is time for Conservatives to take the gloves off. THis means exposing the socialist agenda for what it is and in no uncertain tone.

I know what you mean -- however, I think some of these guys have actually split from the Dem Party. But, the Dem Party continues to put on a brave face, and knowingly turn a blind eye, not yet ready to acknowledge those defections.

Thanks for your post. This writer, Matt Bai, has written some good articles about politics for the NYT.

IMHO the glue that binds all the liberal elites is an intense dislike for traditional values and mores and a marked antipathy or barely restrained tolerance for religious belief. We are in an undeclared culture war and the outcome is yet to be determined.

I agree. It's not about economic policy, or social programs.

It is a Culture War. They don't relate to Middle America and see us as The Other (as we do them, to be honest).

I also agree with the comparison to the Whig Party.

The Democrats had a long run, over half a century of dominating the governance of the US. Conservatives need a good thirty years to undo the damage. Meanwhile let the Democrats go in the dustbin of history.
