There are no words that can properly describe the depths of arrogance, intolerance, insularity and anti-Americanism this widespread response represents.

Sure there are: "Air America." :)

Quite a bit of that "wrong track" rating might have been conservatives fearful that John Kerry was winning. The positive polling numbers seem to have increased markedly since the election.

Half the "wrong-trackers" think Bush is a leftist.

In order to cooperate, the left would first have to admit that they might be wrong in a few areas and the rest of America might have a few good points to offer. If one thing is certain about Liberals it is that they are far too arrogant to ever do this.

This is especially true of the MSM. Their news casts and headlines will be filled with even more vile accusations about the President and those who voted for his re-election. To do less woud be to acknowledge their failure to succeed in this election. The MSM, in partnership with the dnc, is working to destroy the moral fiber of this nation.

It was very simple for me- here's how I explained it to the undecided:

I can support a man I don't always agree with- I can't support a man I can't trust.

I would have used different words, but generally well stated.

What is left out, is that he who shapes the battle, wins the battle. The constitutional majority in this country have been shaping this battle for at least the last 20 years as they have been developing their forces on the Internet and Talk Radio, and learning to win tactical skirmishes on CCW permits and holding down State taxes. The battlefield is the Media, in its entirety, and the percentage controlled by the Old Media (the 60's liberals) has been shrunk severely.

It is as if one side, the constitutionalists, were battle hardened veterans who recently developed aircraft, and the other side, the 60's leftists, were pampered armchair general province administrators who hadn't ridden into battle in their cavalry regiment for a decade, and didn't believe in that newfangled aircraft nonsense.

We have been bloodied and won some fights, and we accept the new technology with gusto, because it allows us to shatter the old cavalry and sweep them from the field. Now we have taken the remaining high ground (the election). Let the culture war begin!

The election has shown the Left they are not as successful as they had thought.

And isn't it wonderful?

"it is a war we must win."

Actually, conservatives are already winning, albeit it very, very slowly. Look at the facts: crime has fallen to its lowest point in over 30 years, out-of-wedlock pregnancies are falling, the number of abortions is slipping, support for unialteral disarmament is way down, serving in the military is seen as honorable, the use of hard drugs is down (though marajuana use is up), the number of divorces is slowly falling, church attendance is rising. There is a chance that Roe vs. Wade will cease to be the law of the land in our lifetimes, something I never thought possible before.

The leftists believes that the future belong to them. Their conviction is so strong that they manage to instill pesimisim in the hearts of their oponents. But when the leftist projects collapse, like Soviet system did, the left gets bewildered and the right is surprised.

When they tell you that the clock of history cannot be turned back or that it follows the predicted pattern, do not believe it.

Oh yuk, the sight of the blue staters just turned my stomach, fortunately my breakfast was 4 hours ago. (I am in Pacific time zone.) Thanks for the pics anyway.

This article is close to being spot-on in its analysis of current America. Many have prayed for this victory and GW Bush has been the "lightening rod" in exposing those liberals who have been hiding in our mist. They knew what Bush represented and threw off their masks revealing as Michael Savage coined, "the enemy within".
With them exposed, now is the time to refute their boldness in trying to destroy those things we hold dear. America must and has awoken from the stupor imposed by these elitists. America is not a Euro social bastion for those who choose to live in a country they only show contempt for.
The Liberals do have power both real and perceived in wealth and media. Our country has a rich history filled with God fearing citizens and leaders, a source of strength unrealized by those who attack it. May God bless this mighty nation and the brave people who live here.

"How could a President with so many perceived negatives win with such relative ease?"

False perception.

That's easy.

And what sent the Democrat Party reeling was the double whammy of sudden confrontation of the delusional with truth and a well-deserved backhanded bitchslap by the American people.

"GW Bush has been the "lightening rod" in exposing those liberals"

Actually, Bush has been very civil and decent to his political adversaries. He is careful to avoid demagoguery and personal attacks, even against those who demagogue and slander him. It's Bush's opponents who have hurled verbal lightning.

Perhaps lightning rod was misused, I meant the President is so strong in his convictions that he has driven the liberals to despair, kind've like in the Wizard of Oz with the cursing of Dorothy by the witch as she melted away in unbelief.
