Liberals see conspiracies everywhere. Why as the good old BezerkeleyTaliban prof George Lackoff has darkly warned, the eevil Republicans are stealing the word "freedom" and employing it as a code word to advance the right-wing agenda. As Rush points out, the fact President Bush said it is enough to drive the Left bonkers. So the Left's on the run; they can't argue facts, values or even propose a theme. Life's good when our opposition is behaving straight out of that Mel Gibson movie entitled Conspiracy Theory. Life imitates art.

If you want to appeal to regular heartland folks, then hey -- nothing warms our cockles more than to be lectured by a condescending, snotty, pointy-headed scold with a ponytail and ear rings.

Yeah, that's who we're going to flock to.

While I think GWB's policy is global in nature, the immediate emphasis will be on the mideastern countries, starting with Iran.

Feeling it, in a certain sense is okay, but thinking about it will get you past some of the blockages that the emotions cause.

The essential difference between democrats and Republicans.

Liberals don't believe in freedom because it scares them. They think that people can't handle it without becoming evil and power-mad and that they must be given limits and told how to be free. Look at liberal free-states: socialism and communism. Neither has freedom, but it is as much as what a liberal thinks a person can handle. Curiously, there is some truth to this. Liberals living in a free society go berserk, ignoring the law or try to pass laws that limit freedom, and use their freedom as a means to control others. Conservatives in a free society generally live responsibly and let laws enhance their freedoms. The fact that conservatives extend freedom even to the unborn, says a lot.

Even on the most left wing boards, liberalism is dying, its being replaced the new inherent belief in conspiracy theroies instead of a (bad) ideology.

Yea, but they aren't knocking down the straw men, they are just saying they are there.

Your assuming sanity, from a group that has become unhinged, and can now lose a debate to itself.

You have to take President Bush at his word. He WILL show he's trying to work with the democrats. If he can't do his job with them around, political coffins will be quietly built for another bunch of them in 2006.

If you step back and look at his campaign last year, you will see they very rarely used the liberal media. He went completely under their radar and established a hard-wired network of GOP voters nationwide. It will grow from there.

"Even on the most left wing boards, liberalism is dying, its being replaced the new inherent belief in conspiracy theroies instead of a (bad) ideology."

One way to think about it is that oldtime liberals are being replaced by hard core leftists, who have actually always held liberals in contempt anyway. That's why the "loyal opposition" of the earlier twentieth century is dead, and the opposition today is no longer "loyal."

The MoveOns of the world would be happy to see the US falter and fail. They wouldn't even care if it was a 'rat president who was in charge at the time, since they think 'rats and GOP are the same party under the skin.
