The Left's Vision for America (Bill O'Reilly)

That is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo." The president had a pretty good night last night at the state of the union, don't you think? He delivered his speech well. Snap poll showed 78 percent of Americans liked what he said and he asked us to give his new Iraq strategy a little time. I think that's reasonable.

But as "Talking Points" has stated, the battle for Baghdad must go our way or it is over in Iraq. If the Iraqis don't stand up this time and effectively fight for a free and peaceful country, then U.S. troops will have to be redeployed.

Predictably left-wing organizations like The New York Times and NBC News didn't much like the president's speech. NBC's post-speech coverage featured four Democrat politicians, only one Republican. Fair and balanced as always, right, NBC News? The New York Times editorial made it clear there's little about the Bush administration it likes, but with 86 percent of Americans telling a Gallup poll they are satisfied with their situation right now, all this disenchantment on the left seems a bit mystifying at first. But it's logical if you look a bit deeper.

"• A rapid withdrawal from Iraq , leaving that country to pretty much fend for itself.

• Discussions, but no confrontation, with Iran. — An article in The L.A. Times this week played down any danger from Iran.

• Free medical care for low-income Americans, run by the government .

• No improved security at the southern border — the left wants to maintain the chaotic status quo; the far left wants to maintain open borders.

• A big tax hike on affluent Americans and government regulation of corporate salaries for fat cats

• Suspension of NSA listening programs and target suspected terrorists

• Civilian trials for captured terrorists

• And the closing of Guantanamo Bay.

• And finally: gay marriage, unfettered abortion, medical euthanasia, fetal stem cell research and a host of other "

Nice...real, nice.

He left out several important things the crazies on the left want, among them:

1) Kill conservative talk radio;
2) Grant amnesty to all illegal aliens;
3) Let the military decay to Carteresque readiness levels

The American Left has been attempting to eviscerate our country for a long time. With the gutlessness of Bush and the RINOs, they just might be able to finally do it.

Many of these leaders are independently wealthy.

They don't/won't face the implications of the adapation of this death list of wishes.

It's all about the show, and not the consequences.

The hapless majority of people are too busy leading their lives to take time to really understand whats going on.

One program I'd like to see in this give away society is free internet access, only if you prove you read Free Republic every day.......

Guarantee we would see more voters, less entitlement, and representatives who really care

If we don't lose, the Democrats will have to eat crow in 2008. For that reason, they will pull out all the stops to make sure we don't win in Iraq.
