If this trend continues, we're going to be back in the days where religion rules everything, big businesses and monopolies run amok, and "freedom" exists only if you're a Protestant who owns a Cadillac, has 2.5 children (with a wife who he's only slept with 2.5 times), and believes that God watches over everything. The only difference from the 1700s is that African-Americans and women will be a part of it. Personally, I LIKE the freedoms that we have now. I am both happy that we have abortion and that we have the right to buy guns. However, we soon will become even more ridiculously Puritanical than we are already...and that will be a sad, sad day in the history of this nation. Everything is cyclical - the cycle is now restarting at the beginning.

And why is this? It's because the Democrats followed the ideologues so that they are SO far to the left, that they might as well be from a different planet. I've heard people say Kerry lost in 04 because he was not LIBERAL ENOUGH.
It's because the Left has taken "tolerance" and twisted it into a shakedown game for their benefit. It's because the left has been ACTIVELY EXTORTING MONEY from people by saying "Give my group money or we will boycott you, biatch!" It's because the Left has a "Reverend" go to "counsel" a sitting President in trouble for being unable to keep his zipper closed, WHILE TAKING THE REVEREND'S PREGNANT MISTRESS ALONG. Common sense has COMPLETELY fled the Democratic Party.
The Left has become so intellectually bankrupt and out of touch (another example is the "Let's give Communism ONE more try, I promise that unlike every other Communist Government on the planet, I will NOT slaughter my opposition and whomever I please once you put absolute, despotic power in my hands!" crowd) with the American people and HISTORY that the moderates have deserted them in droves. Good Christ, a moderate Democrat addressed the RNC this past cycle!!! Yet the Deaniacs and Kerry Apologists keep screaming "Steer MORE to the Left!"
