DIE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, DIE! DIE! DIE!

Correction, it is the democrat party. Actually I prefer the “democrat politburo.” It is a more accurate description.

Cannablism ?

How is this different than the Hot Air crew jumping all over Ann Coulter ?

Not that different at all…..is it AP? Is it? I have changed my mind about KP, you can have her AP. I’m not the masochist you seem to be.

This hyperventilation results from the fact that far-left Democrats have no comparable media outlet

?!?!?!
Anyone heard of CNN? The CBS Evening News with Katie? MSNBC?

That photo is an instant classic.

That’s O’Connor’s real complaint here, I think, not Screw Them’s alleged centrism.

Let’s not forget that these are people who think the DLC is part of the vast right wing conspiracy.

Remember this?

In the angry life of Maryscott O’Connor, the rage begins as soon as she opens her eyes and realizes that her president is still George W. Bush. The sun has yet to rise and her family is asleep, but no matter; as soon as the realization kicks in, O’Connor, 37, is out of bed and heading toward her computer.

Out there, awaiting her building fury: the Angry Left, where O’Connor’s reputation is as one of the angriest of all. “One long, sustained scream” is how she describes the writing she does for various Web logs, as she wonders what she should scream about this day.

Believe me (or do your own research), the Demo party may be owned by left wing extremists, but they are by far in the minority.

I’m not sure I’m getting where you’re coming from here. In my senario, it doesn’t matter what the particulars are, what matters is the perception of what the moderate center is by regular americans. The liberals acheve this by demonizing moderate conservative ideals using PC tactics. In order to become “enlightened” reasonable folks, they act on left leaning issues and disavow their natural tendancies towards moderate conservatism.

Cannablism ?

You’re not alone in that sentiment. I’m waiting for the next incident to see which of them learned their lesson and change their position by refusing carrying the liberals PC water.

That isn’t to say that leftists aren’t dangerous…they always are, mainly because they historically are so ruthless. Socialists, communists, fascists, and other forms of leftists are responsible for over 60 million murders/deaths/genocidal operations in the 20th century. And they see the advantage of using islamists as their henchment for their next wave.

If you thought the Stalinist purges or the Holocaust were the ultimate in human barbarity, you ain’t seen nothing yet! G-d, I hope I’m wrong, but I’m terrified that I’m not.

To Hell with all of them.

I want the Democratic party of my youth; the party of JFK and Scoop Jackson and principled lberal patriots like Hubert Humphrey. I want the party of Harry Truman, NOT traitors like Kos and Al Qaeda supporters like Moveon. You do remember how Moveon *DEMANDED* that we not strike the Taliban or Osama?

America needs two LOYAL parties, not one and a second party that HATES America.

So, I want the modern Democratic to cease to exist; for the DNC HQ to be razed and the lot turned into a hot dog stand; the bank accounts given to chairity; and the leadership, including Kos and Moveon in prison for treason.

I feel betrayed – as an Amrican, first, and as a former Democrat from the mid 60′s, second – at ho despicable they have become.

For God’s sake, these people nominated a man who (1) conspired with the NVA in 1971, while we ere fighting them, (2) voted on a plan to assasinate 6 US Senators, and (3) slandered EVERY Viet Nam vet, as their candidate for President.

Any party who nominares such does not deserve to exist!

Good observation Buzzy. Funny what happens when 2/3 of your customers are not liberal and they stop buying your newspapers and stop watching your news shows.

Even if they are (with which I totally disagree), how far do you think they will go to the right? Will they get to where they report fairly, or will they go just far enough to get some readership/viwership back?

Priceless!

Actually I have noticed that the MSM is migrating to the right from their earlier position slightly to the left of Che Guevarra. The left’s nutroots are being left out in the cold more than just a little these days.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t get that impression at all. If anything, I think the MSM has become more nakedly partisan in the last couple of years.

Ok, then we agree on that. Even though the facts are that conservatism is the center, I believe the liberals have succeeded in convincing america that conservatism is going out of style and is akin to fascism. Perception is what people are acting on and with the PC police demonizing conservatives, and the MSM presenting themselves as the center, we are, and will continue to lose ground until true conservatives are the extreme right because the semi-pseudo-conservatives are caving to PC on a daily basis.

What is perception now is rapidly becoming fact and I do not see how shoring up those conservative princilpes does anything except make us feel better. I do not see much evidence of it changing the perception of where conservative ideals fit on the spectrum.

True, but that isn’t what I envision. I disagree with what stonemeister said about moderate conservatives being on the right. Moderate conservatives are the far, far right when they are compared to the MSM as center.

csdeven, just to clarify, I wasn’t saying moderate conservatives are on the right, I was saying that’s the perception the leftists are trying to get across. And it’s not fair to make relative comaprisons. There is a center, a left, a right, etc.

Almost by definition, conservatism is centrist. It’s saying that our time-tested, foundational principles are valid and worthy. The left says they’re not progressive enough, to degrees varying proportionally to their leftism, and the right says they they need to be shored up to allow less deviation from the norm (or variations to that idea).

Saying conservatism is right wing extremism is just another example of the left redefining words on the fly (depending on what your definition of “is” is).

Going on the offensive is one thing, being as superficial and base as the Kossacks is something else entirely.

True, but that isn’t what I envision. I disagree with what stonemeister said about moderate conservatives being on the right. Moderate conservatives are the far, far right when they are compared to the MSM as center.

My vision is that Ann be allowed to serve the role of inhabiting the extreme right of the conservatives. That broadens the scope between the left extreme and the right extreme which, by perception, moves moderate conservatism towards the center. While Ann holds the extreme right, the moderates do not adopt her tactics, even though we agree with the message if not the word usage.

Do you see any real flaws in that theory? If so, I would like to explore them with someone who doesn’t have an ideological axe to grind. Many semi-pseudo-conservatives here just will not engage the concept. They keep pushing the lead by example theory, but offer no thorough explanation as to how it works.

I’m not crazy about the claim that attitude and being negative can lead to illness. But in her case, it may have some merit.

It has not worked up to this point and I’m wondering why.

Despite opinions to the contrary, I thought civility, strength and character got you Ronald Reagan, Congress from 94 till 06 and a President who ran with the slogan that character counts. I agree the Lefties can be hateful and shrill. With all due respect, is that what you want to be?

Everytime I hear this, I know I’m in trouble. Once while in college, some girl from my dorm, whom I never even met, decided to recover some ill-spent money by accusing someone of steeling from her room. She gave the RA a description, and it somewhat matched me. So I stood accused, even though I was absolutely innocent.

The college “tried” me. I said I was absolutely innocent. She said I did it. then, “Well, the truth lies somewhere in between” was dropped, so I was punished. And the college lefties slept well. My record was forever tarnished, it even came up later on in a security clearance check.

Thing is, even the lefties’ vocabulary changes to suit their ends. “Truth” is by consensus, not based on actual events. Bush lied. No WMDs. No Yellocake from Niger. Libby covered for Cheney. It’s all true, just ask anybody! After all, “Well, the truth lies somewhere in between”.

People are seriously misguided if they think the moonbats are just crazy to think that way, and that is the extent of it.

The MSM presents it that way and regular run of the mill working class america who doesn’t have time to stay up on this stuff believes it too. That is why elections have been so close lately. The PERCEPTION of the moderate center has shifted to the left and regular folks have been scared by the PC police into following the pack instead of their values.

Every day this kind of stuff is reported over and over again. And everyday we pile on and complain how crazy the moonbats are. Where is it getting us? Nowhere, that’s where. We need a drastic shift to the right in order to put center in the realm of sanity.

We have the “lead by example” crowd who have yet to lay out for the group how their perfect example of restraint is going to win people over. It has not worked up to this point and I’m wondering why.

So, you want to explain why, or are we just going to perpetually point out the looniness of the moonbats?
