My first vote, in 1980, was for Independent John Anderson, followed by Mondale, Dukakis, and Clinton-Gore. I guess he tired of hovering around the political Mendoza line.

I left the Left after the 1992 Democratic Convention when Bob Casey, former Governor of Penna was not allowed to address the platform committee because he wanted to bring up the issue of abortion.
HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK! I began to understand that these people were not interested in ideas, only in control.

Similar to my "pilgrimage".
Democrats' criticism of Bush strikes me as blatantly opportune rather than principled. I don't know how those people can stand themselves.

Great post. Copied, pasted and circulated to some liberals, not that they'll pay attention, but you never know what might bring them from the dark side.......

"Since 1993, the overwhelmingly liberal electorate in New York City has voted for Republicans for Mayor. Yet, to this day, many of my liberal friends refer to the decisive and effective Giuliani as a Nazi, even as they stroll their children through neighborhoods he cleaned up."
Good piece :)
I used to be a 60's hippie liberal.
I was always a moderate though I tended to support Democrat issues. That started to change in the 1990's as I noticed what was supposed to be the party of fairness and tolerence getting increasingly intolerant ... and hateful.
As we moved to 2000, Anti-Americanism, filled with blatant lies, started to appear more and more on the liberal listserv I used to frequent. When I pointed out the errors, I was often the target of character assassination.
In spite of all I had done to support liberal causes, especially in the field of the arts, I was suddenly the "enemy" because I dared to question the validity of the ever increasingly hateful comments directed against "rich, greedy, evil" Republicans.
Unintentionally, I found myself in the conservative camp, whose attitudes now more resemble what I feel. As for modern libs, like people say, it's now a disease, a mental disorder that in fact, George Orwell wrote about in a number of essays, calling it "Intellectual Dishonesty."

A true liberal today is a combination of socialist, fascist, and hypocrite.Exactly... I watched this on display by a rabid liberal, during our 4th of July celebration at one of our local parks.
We had a boat parade by the river, and as we watched, a boat, decorated in red, white, and blue passed by with a sign that said, "We support our troops and President Bush".
This flaming liberal started flipping them off. If his ailing mother wasn't present I would have pushed the sob into the water.
Their hatred of this country is stunning.

I just read this last month. A good quick read, and it tells the story of the hard left turn the democrat party took. I recommend picking it up.

I wrote vitriolic letters to President Nixon demanding an end to the Vietnam War. A bit off subject I wasn't really old enough to understand first hand the actual political dynamics of that era. But why in the hell does Nixon's name get associated with Vietnam? I mean wasn't it exclusively Democrats, Kennedy and Johnson that got us involved and escalated it?

The clincher, IMO:
The President understands the big picture -- that if the U.S. doesnt help to remake that volatile region, we will face a nuclear version of 9/11 within the next two or five or 10 years.

To be a Liberal you must......
1) Believe that social programs work and that tax cuts fail, no matter how many times you are proven wrong.
2) Believe that getting tough on crime is wrong, but criminals need tolerance from an evil society.
3) Believe that terminating a pregnancy is a choice, but carrying a firearm for self-defense should not be a choice.
4) Believe that one President's sex with an intern is a "personal matter" while another President's previous possible drug habits should be investigated thoroughly.
etc, etc, etc.
