They have no one but themselves to blame.
Conservatives are generally of a peaceable nature. Preferring to make their presence felt at the ballot box while otherwise living their own lives quietly.
9-11 in conjunction with the expansion of alternative media and in large part provocation on the part of the Liberals is forcing conservatives out of isolation to take a stand.
No matter what occurs this election cycle the Left has reached the height of their control. While conservatives are only beginning to realize the influence possible for conservative thought.
The "quiet majority" is slowly fading away. A generation or two from now there is no telling the influence conservatisism could have effected on this country-- provided we persevere.
It's going to be an interesting summer and autumn, for certain. Between Bill's book tour, The 911 Commission Book Tour, The Kerry/Edwards campaign tour, the conventions etc... the opportunities are almost endless for ticking off the Left...
