What Now?
Since I’ve already done the-glass-is-half-empty, I thought I’d balance it with something a bit more cheerful.
The leftists are in major melt-down — leftists being the Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, MoveOn and Atrios loons who have been driving the Democratic agenda since before the 2004 elections. From the howling they’re doing now, it looks like one of two things could happen:
- Leftists leave the Dhimmi Party in droves, as they’re now saying they will, and find alternative candidates to vote for.
- Leftists become even more shrill, more combative, and more insane, and drive the Demorats further to the left.
The first would obviously be good for us. It would be Ralph Nader all over again — though the left was far less nuts, far less vocal, and far less aggressive before the 2000 elections than they are now. And now, of course, they have George Soros and his money. If they got Soros to throw his weight behind third-party candidates, Dim chances in the elections go through the floor.
The second would be almost as good — and it’s already happening (for examples, see here and here). The further to the left and the more nutty the Demorats get, the more American voters they’ll lose. If they keep stepping up the rhetoric and the obstructionism, they’ll hang themselves.
What I don’t see is the leftists howling for a few days, then going back to business as usual. And that’s a Good Thing.

Prof: YOu have a much stronger stomach than I. Everytime (about four times) I visited the Daily Kos or Moveon.org, I got sick to my stomach. Then I saw Michael Mooore’s page and got more sick!!! They are a bunch of sicko psycho haters who have nothing better to do than to write disparaging things about others. I think that is the problem with leftists nowadays; they have no new ideas and keep recycling the same old tired drivel “Bush lied” etc. Finally I asked a buddy what he lied about. She was loth to say anything because she had been chanting the mantra so long, she forgot the meaning behind it.
I can’t believe you go to those wretched sites. But then again, sometimes it is best to know where your ideological enemies stand so you can better fight them…

Fellow blogger COBB did a post about the brain drain going on in the DEM party. It is a good read and hits on the truth. When you have no more ideas, you will focus on deconstructing the ideas of others. If you ever have time, watching the mayorial debate between Willie Brown and Tom Ammiano illustrates this fact. The only thing he could do was rag on Mr. Brown, but he proposed no new policies and his voice was so annoying that he turned people off…
