Would that these incidents were unusual or isolated. Look around though, the American Left is absolutely polluted with idiotic ideas and an army of wing nuts as its standard bearers. This country desperately needs more than one relevant political party. The Democrats have gained a little momentum recently with their "We Hate George W. Bush" platform but that's going away next year. Then you're left with exactly what's been seen this week: liberals who won't breathe the same air as someone with an opposing viewpoint, liberals who think not shutting up is "debating" and liberals who want to sue car companies for manufacturing-get this-cars.
Pundits keep talking about finding a G.O.P. candidate who can energize the base. How about just taking a quick, critical look at what the modern Democratic party has become? The silencing of dissent through any means and enviro-communism aren't fringe ideas over there, this current group is fueled by these things. It should be enough to make you run screaming to whomever is left standing on the Republican side of the aisle, even if he looks like Rudy Giuliani. Heck, I'd vote for an inflatable Nixon doll over any of the Democrats.
The Republican base had better start paying attention to what the 21st Century Dems are really up to and energize themselves. Consider this: Hillary Clinton is the most human face they've been able to put on their message so far. Has the word "Yikes!" ever been more apropos? Just today Mrs. Clinton said she envisioned a day when one would have to show proof of health insurance before getting a job. Words like these come out of Democrats' mouths all the time and they make sense to them!
I envision a Democrat giving an acceptance speech in the not-too-distant future that sounds a little like this:
"I look forward to the day when an applicant will have to show proof of employment as part of the hiring process. If you don't have a job, you can't get a job. I also support legislation to sue every American citizen for breathing out carbon dioxide. We can't ignore the breathing crisis any longer simply because Republicans, Big Oil and the always dangerous Elisabeth Hasslebeck want you to believe that not breathing is bad. Remember, if a Republican says anything to you, it's really Karl Rove talking. Thank you and may whichever non-denominational deity you believe in bless America."
You think I'm absurd? Spend a couple of days reading the minimal gathering of IQ points over at the DailyKos and I look like the sanest guy in the room. Wow, looks like we just had another "Yikes!" moment.
Vote, people. Before Hillary gets elected and the 9th Circuit Court decides that Republicans shouldn't have any constitutional rights.
And because the last thing this country needs is Bill Clinton hanging around the White House with free time and no real reason to put his pants on.
