Hey, John.

 JB>>>>  The liberals have peaked and are on the decline.
 JB>>>> They just won't admit it to themselves.

 SH>>> They have to do something to eliminate the hateful nature of their
 SH>>> party.  We see components of it here every day.

 EC>> For years the liberals lied and got away with it because the main
 EC>> stream media was their ally; there was no alternative to the main
 EC>> stream media.

 EC>> On the other hand, Democrat presidents and their contenders have been,
 EC>> like Adlai Stevenson, portrayed as intellectual giants.  Kennedy along
 EC>> with his whole clan was annointed.  Does Cuomo ring a bell?  How about
 EC>> Hilary?  Ma Richards was on her way until she got sidetracked by that
 EC>> unintellectual George W. Bush.

 EC>> FDR and Truman hobnobbed with agents from the throne of Stalin,
 EC>> "Uncle Joe" as they fondly called him.  Carter spent his whole adult
 EC>> life saying that Communism isn't so bad.  Clinton gave military
 EC>> secrets to China and a ship terminal in California in exchange for
 EC>> campaign funds.

 JH> Don't forget Carter gave away the Panama Canal, too!  The Chinese are
 JH> now entrenched there as well.

That's right - and he didn't even get a campaign contribution.

 EC>> The Democrats have had their share of surprises.  What should they
 EC>> expect when they start believing their own lies.  I think one of the
 EC>> biggest, before the stunning election in Iraq was the election in
 EC>> Nicaragua.

 EC>> Reagan's defeat of Communism is still their biggest
 EC>> surprise and tragedy. They still won't admit it, but Reagan called his
 EC>> shot first.  It was no fluke.  Remember how the liberals quaked in
 EC>> fear of Reagan's confrontation of the USSR?  Now they claim that that
 EC>> nation was crumbling from the inside. Funny, they lied about that too.
 EC>> <g>

 JH> History will, in the end, show Reagan to be our greatest president
 JH> since the Civil War.

I agree.  And history will show the role the Democrats played.  At least 
honest history.  Democrats hate Reagan for calling their beloved an "evil 
empire".  Those were not idle words, but Reagan meant them fully.

 EC>> The cruelest surprise was when the Democrat lies were exposed via
 EC>> new means of communication.  Talk radio, cable news, the Internet.
 EC>> Each played a role in breaking the back of the left-wing monopoly and
 EC>> happily, they all happened in our lifetime.  Democrats are like a kid
 EC>> caught with his hand in the cookie jar.  Their sin is right there for
 EC>> everyone to see - and they can't stand it.  Their erstwhile allies,
 EC>> like the NY Times, the LA Times, and the Washington Post, along with
 EC>> the traditional three TV networks, are paddling like crazy, but alas,
 EC>> they are naked.  (Not nude, but nude and up to something.  Louis
 EC>> Grizzard - rest in peace.)

 EC>> Now they are acting like any wild animal which finds itself
 EC>> surrounded.  It just strikes out wildly in every direction - no
 EC>> direction in particular. They have nothing left but venom.  Harry
 EC>> Reid's calling Bush a loser is not the act of someone who is confident
 EC>> that he has right on his side.  Notice that Democrat proclamations are
 EC>> always short on detail.  They swipe with grandiose strokes and hope
 EC>> that no one will ask them about the details. During the recent
 EC>> presidential campaign, Kerry stated over and over that he had a plan
 EC>> for this and that, but he would never disclose the details. Hint:
 EC>> there were none - there was no plan.

 EC>> In short, your search for a smart liberal is doomed. <g>  Even a
 EC>> search for a pleasant liberal seems hopeless.

 JH> Excellent analysis, Ed, and right on the mark in my opinion.

Thanks, John.  All I had to do was bring the well-known facts to mind.  You 
already knew all of that stuff.

Yesterday, I had a meeting with a fellow who manages our pension accounts. 
One plan that he offered and which I chose, by the way, was presented as one 
headed by two Nobel Prize winners.  It was explained to me what they were 
doing, so I went for it, but I almost mentioned that Jimmy Carter and Kofi 
Anon are Nobel Prize winners, and I don't want them anywhere near my assets.
