The Republicans are hardly the last word in human wisdom, but right now they are the only ones acting normal. Sure, Democrats think they are making sense, but that’s only when they talk to each other. There aren’t enough grey-beard loons in the country to win national elections. What the Dems don’t get is that they have flagrantly and repeatedly crossed a clear red line in American politics: The line between being for our country or against it.
Forget the word “patriotism.” The question is, do Democrats favor a strong and vigorous America that protects itself—- and the entire West—- against a monstrous and aggressive ideology? Americans don’t want to be in doubt about that. For the Democrats to be so completely blind to the signals they constantly send out is weird beyond words. It is self-destructive, and it degrades our political dialogue. We need sensible Democrats. As it is, the sensible ones who speak up are purged, like Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller.
The only explanation I can think of is that liberals have in their minds substituted internationalism for nationalism. They have slipped into a belief they can’t own up to.

I was very impressed with this editorial. It's worth repeating (to everyone on FR, at least).
BTTT
Because they hate America.
I don't think it'd so much that as it's a combination of living in a 9-10 world, hatred of George Bush and the political right, and a temper tentrum realizing that they have lost power and are not going to get it back anytime soon. They demand the America always live up to their ideals, and when we don't they go into two year old mode.
(ok ok I know I'm putting a positive spin on them)
And I'm forced to mention that large numbers of the left have gone (IMO) completely insane, stark raving mad.
Hi, I'm Tim Kaine. "The Democrats have a better way with the WOT!" Whenever, I'm lying, my left eyebrow twitches up and down!
Actually, the left continues to lurch so far off the political horizon that Hillary is considered too rightist for their likes. Shows how insane these people are.
