This was a discussion on another board here is his/her response to an earlier post from me.
***** look, your party is dying out. the signs are everywhere. there are no encouraging changes on the horizon for you to be heartened by either, so all you have left are these useless, transparent attacks on the republican party, who is quite frankly, "cleaning your clocks." try as you may, *****, i believe your party is drifting further and further out to sea, and there`s no one of worth at the helm. bon voyage, democrats.

on society: by john leo
can liberalism survive?
Liberalism is now bookless and dying. The lack of new ideas and the utter absence of influential liberal thinkers is quite frankly, obvious.
No real breakthrough in liberal thought and programs has occurred since the New Deal, giving liberalism its nostalgic, reactionary cast.
Worse, their fundamental value is that society should have no fundamental values, except for a pervasive relativism that sees all values as equal.
modern liberalism, says Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel, has emptied the national narrative of its civic resources, putting religion outside the public square and creating a value-neutral "procedural republic"
An old hero of liberalism, John Dewey said in 1897, that the practical problem of modern society is the maintenance of the spiritual values of civilization. not much room in liberal thought for that now.
liberals have become the no-values culture
The failure to perceive the importance of community has SERIOUSLY wounded liberalism and undermined its core principles. So has the strong tendency to convert moral and social questions into issues of individual rights, usually constructed and MASSAGED BY JUDGES to place them beyond the reach of majorities and the normal democratic process.
since nov 2, the withering contempt of liberals for ordinary americans has been truly astonishing. voting for bush gave quite average americans a chance to feel superior.
*******, here is the best description of your current plight.. read below...
"we are seeing the bitterness of elites who wish to lead, confronted by MULTITUDES who do not wish to follow. "
many americans notice that liberalism nowadays lacks the vocabulary of right and wrong, declines to discuss virtue except in SNICKERING terms, and seems INCREASINGLY HOSTILE to prevailing moral sentiments.
(this captures the essence of nudist`s and now just recently, ******`s posts)
consider the breakdown of universities. the fortresses of the 1960s cultural liberals and their progeny. students are taught that objective judgments are impossible. all knowledge is compromised by issues of power and bias. therefore there is no way to come to judgement about anything, since judgment itself rests on quicksand.
this principle, however, is suspended when the united states and western culture are discussed, because the west is essentially evil and guilty of endless crimes.
BETTER TO DECLARE A VAGUE TRANSNATIONAL IDENTITY AND ADMIRATION FOR THE UNITED NATIONS.
the campuses indulge in heavy coercion and indoctrination. a sign of the times: The University of California`s academic assembly eliminated the distinction between " interested" and "disinterested" scholarship by a 45-3 vote.
the campuses are politicized, and they dont care who knows it. Harvard is all atwitter because its president ran afoul of local orthodoxy, suggesting, ever so tentatively, that SEXUAL DIFFERENCES MIGHT BE A FACTOR IN CAREERS IN SCIENCE.
in their bafflement over rejection of their product, liberals have been lacing their speeches with religious phrases and asking mainstream americans to vote their economic interests by rejecting republican fat cats.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT WILL TAKE A BIT MORE THAN THAT.
*****, i believe the fat lady is on cue. the democrats are leaving the building. thankyou and goodnight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
And my response to this trash.
Forgot to add: Liberals eat babies fresh out of the womb. Nice hate speech. Do you really believe this trash? Prove two(2) of these points within' your quotation and I will send you A GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR TWO(2) FOR (your all's favorite Hannity) TO RUTH CHRIS' STEAKHOUSE. Do it. Come on, I will check back to make sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell me what you think
