I think it’s a pretty good analysis, agree with a lot, disagree with some.
This point:
“It has robbed the United States of an effective opposition party for four decades, with no end in sight.”
I think is very true and very tragic for the country. Honest opposition, arguing different ideas toward the same goals is very healthy and helpful.
Lately we have the Power Hungry Traitors vs. the Incompetent Wanderers
That's been the problem since the Warren Court. There is no argument for myself on 90% of the positions taken by Dems today.
I will NEVER agree that killing babies is a "right". I will NEVER agree that the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to me. I will NEVER agree that America was founded by anything but Christians who thought we should prefer Christians as our leaders. I will NEVER agree that homosexual marriage was what my father fought in WWII to protect. I will NEVER agree that burning the American Flag is "free speech". I will NEVER agree to have open borders to allow just anyone to enter the US without permission.
There are many positions that are just against all moral conscience that are beyond discussion. We can argue over single payer medical, but why, when it is piss poor in every country that has tried it. We can argue over how much our taxes should be, but it is proven over and over that the gubmint spends all it gets and then some, and is ALWAYS detrimental to the economy to redistribute the job makers money to the job destroyers. We might argue over the size of the military, but every time we downsize, we end up paying more later, sometimes with blood. We can have many arguments, I suppose, but most of them are mute, proven by failures in USSR, Cuba, Viet Nam, etc. Something to discuss might be how John McCain became a conservative party's pick out of millions of possibilities.
I have pondered many topics the Dems have positions on and I honestly can't find one that I can say, "Man, I wish the Republicans would think that way". Most of the time I spend writing the Republicans complaining they are too much like the Dems. Reagan wasn't as conservative as I am. He backed out of Lebanon, He gave us the first border amnesty, he did many things I disagreed with. I think he has been the greatest president of my lifetime, but he wasn't perfect. Getting our party to stick together is more difficult than arguing with Demtard's. Their arguments are just hold overs from Karl Marx. He's dead.

As I've said elsewhere, the Dem Party has no paradigm. But this is why they can win non-presidential elections - their party is so fractured into special interest groups/issues, there's no cohesiveness anywhere on the radar to hold together a single Dem Presidential candidate. Witness California. Dem Legislators run the money; Not the governor. The state is in trouble. Vallejo will probably go into bankruptcy. More cities may be following suit.
The Dem's lack of unity is what spells their having built their houses upon fine grains of sand; each grain demanding it get noticed first, if not solely. The marxian, socialist philosophy will never hold unity. It can't. It can only lead to fraction, faction, and failure.
