Publius, I commend you for a job well done. It actually held my interest and would spark all sorts of side commentaries by my liberal friends.
Nicely done!

The crux of the matter:
Are Democrats Americans or UNeesians?
Are they citizens of America or citizens of the world?
Do they truly believe that Bush is Hitler and that this country is no better than Nazi Germany?
Are they seriously considering emigrating to Canada? Or France?
Whose side are they on, anyway?
The answer to these questions is straightforward:
Their words are poison and their actions are treasonous. They are not merely betrayers of America and all that it stands for, they are also traitors to humanity.
It's time we started treating them as such.

Print it off and pass it on to your liberal friends. Here in Seattle, we can't seem to run out of liberals!

Is it time yet for that "stout, hempen rope" you've talked about in the past? (At least it's a useful way of using hemp.)

Now the signs are all in place for another great Democratic debacle, but with one major difference. This time, the Democrats are headed for the ash heap of American political history. Not according to "Time". I just read an article predicting, yet again, the fall of the GOP.

"Time" is just whistling past the graveyard. The last time the party on top splintered was 1912, when TR took the early progressives out of the party. We have nothing like that movement going on now.

Post it at DU. That will get their bile flowing -- along with their drool.

Thanks, many of my thoughts have been in the same direction, now they have been written.
Stiff hempen is needing some use.

Great essay. I don't quite agree on all of it. I would argue that social change did not alienate middle America. Its been going on for quite sometime and started rolling after WWII when more blacks entered the work place and Truamn desegregated the military.
I also think that leftist democrats have taken over the party and alienated mainstream America; from gay marraiage to reparations.
