The left are now wringing their hands fearing their agenda is overripe, blaming everyone else for their own spoiled pickling. While Obama's sinking prospects for re-election are disquieting, the real source of liberals' despair is their sudden, unexpected realization that the progressive agenda is dead in its tracks and will likely be in full retreat after 2012.
Obama is finished, but the demise of their identity politician is neither the main event nor surprising. He was a lame duck after he returned from Copenhagen empty handed in September 2009, expecting the mere presence of his electro-magnetic glow would secure the 2016 summer Olympics for Chicago.
He cannot claim a single success. His resume is a bibliography of failure. His signature achievement, the dubious namesake ObamaCare, was designed by someone else. Its central feature, the individual insurance mandate, is destined to be overturned by the Supreme Court.
We will have our fill of post mortems, ad nauseam, about how The One broke their hearts; his considerable skills, now considered overrated, were just no match for the enormity of the clean- up needed after Bush's mess; a victim of his opponents' entrenched racism.
Obama was only a convenient vessel, a mere tool. But enough about Obama; even the Congressional Black Caucus is ready to Move On.
The end of the Progressive Era, eclipsing Obama, has come from two places -- one fiscal and pragmatic, the other ideological and visceral. First, the debt crisis and persistent economic woes have made it clear that the progressive agenda is unaffordable and unsustainable. The money pumps in the forms of more borrowing and taxes cannot possibly keep up with the tons of green water spending coming aboard.

One wishes Obama himself saw the writing on the wall...but, alas, no.

Nice. Now if they will just go quietly.
I’ve thought that for quite awhile, but the only way to ensure it’s demise is to vote in a truly conservative POTUS, and TEA party conservative Congress IMO. Then we can say we’ve done our best to lay the Liberal era to rest.
NO RINO’s.
Uplifting article, but the saying about counting unhatched chickens (or in this case, dead liberals?) comes to mind.
One can only hope. Never stop organizing, fighting and voting. The leftists do not go easily into the night. Like vampires, they must have stakes driven through their black hearts. You owe it to yourself, you owe it to your family, you owe it to the future, you owe it to Free America.
“The Liberal Era is over.”
I love optimists. A wise man once said that optimism is true moral courage.
I remain convinced, though, that the leftard minions of Satan will never quit while they draw the breath of life.
I agree. Made me feel good, but, they are spread out deep in every walk of life in the country.
The job ahead, if they lose, will be to root them out and replace them.
Failure to do that will insure they will be back sporting a new deceptive message before we know it.
Too optimistic. Satan never sleeps.
0bama has done so much damage to this country that even with control of the WH,Senate and House we may not be able to turn the economy around in four years. Voters have very short attention spans and if the economy is still down they may return the libs to power and if so, we are toast.
He felt something running down his leg, but this time it wasn't a tingle.
I think the Left will resort to the tactics we saw against Scott Walker in Madison instead of politely ceding the high ground. IMHO it's gonna get ugly!

They have no marketable skills, no trade, no education, no work ethic, no sense of responsibility.
Sure, they could dig ditches, but we have machines that are far better at that. They could work an assembly line, but wouldn't be able to survive on the Chinese wages such work is worth.
Expect strong headwinds and high seas.
While I may disagree with the "minions of satan" stuff (tho they - as a political philosophy - are surely minions of - to say the least - a FAILED political philosophy), I agree with your statement 100%
The followers of this philosophy will not surrender; they will not "leave quietly"; they will not fade away.
They will fight, scratch, howl, bite, scream, kick, and wail down to the last survivor. It will be bloody...it will be immensely painful....it will require the sacrifice of wealth, possessions, and sometimes life.
But then, war always does.
“The job ahead, if they lose, will be to root them out and replace them”
That will mean firing every single employee of the state department, the CIA, and a number of other bureaucracies.
Some, like the EPA, can just be rooted and not replaced.
Myself, I favor branding them on the cheek so they can be identified at a distance.
“While I may disagree with the “minions of satan” stuff”
Logic and reason demonstrate it.
