As for the democrats. They are ONLY an opposition party. They offer nothing new but the same bankrupt ideas of class envy, race baiting, and pessimism. Their only hope is having the country go to shit, so they can say 'we can do better' even if they don't say how. Much like Kerry's magic 'Iraq' plan he never gave specifics on, it will just be 'better' with them. The sad part is they won't lift a finger to make things better, as that would be counter to their parties interest.
if you were looking for an example of the ways in which conservative discourse degrades political debate, you would need look no further than this passage, which is not an answer to the posts, not an analysis, not a coherent view of the democratic party (which is a centrist operation unless you are somewhere to the right of the milita movement) but is instead something like a cliffnotes version of the talking points you would expect to hear from intellecutal titans on the order of sean hannity.

it is also a justification for any and all exclusions of opposition viewpoints.
if i understand such logic as there is in it, it can be reduced to: the democrats are the embodiment of things going wrong, things turning to shit, in the delightful parlance of the post itself: the democrats are, for ustwo, a prinicple of negation--from which it follows that the right is a principle of all that is positive, good, american, functional and erect.

this is the logic of the hitlero-trotskyite wrecker that did such good work in the textbooks of the "history" of the soviet communist party edited by our pal comrade stalin at the hieght of the purges in the ussr (1937)....

with this kind of post, debate is impossible.
and it is not about debate.
it is about spiking the thread.
