I sincerely hope that you're correct. The Left is like a cancer though...once it infects a society, it quickly metastasizes throughout, destroying everything in it's path.
You are correct as the left gets more radical they tend to drag the right past the centre of politics - until there is a backlash and the pendulem swings back - we saw this with 9/11 however Bush (who I still like) was not a great promoter of conservative ideals!
