The Leftist movements you see so frequently these days are the eruptions of that phenomenon. Just as terrorism forces us to fight a new war, so does this boundless threat. It is still an "evil empire," just one that lives in the shadows.
That's what was so devastating to me about the '06 elections. I was sure that more than enough people could see the shenanigans of the left for what they were and would soundly reject them. And yet, here we are--they are even louder and bolder and I do not sense that a majority of Americans are ready to beat them down.
It's do or die time, and I fear for my kids and grandkids.
