Yeah its a bit over the top about some of the liberal stuff Jim quoted... But the more voices out there preaching a return to socialy liberal fiscally conservative stance there are, the better. Then maybe it will happen. Personally, I got a good laugh from it myself.

None of this is the fault of the left. After the events of the 20th century–national socialism, international socialism, inter-species socialism from Earth First–anyone who is still on the left is obviously insane and not responsible for his or her actions.
…
Nobody with kids is a liberal, except maybe one pothead in Marin County.
…
Liberals consider people to be nuisances.
…
And we could get up again with dignity intact, dust ourselves off, and take another punch at the liberal bully-boys who want to snatch the citizenry's freedom and tuck that freedom, like a trophy feather, into the hatbands of their greasy political bowlers.

are really one of the big reasons your party is out of power now. There is little honesty or integrity in your writing, P.J., just the same old denigration of those who seriously doubt the all-encompassing wisdom of the free market. Because this was the funniest thing in the entire rant: “We, the conservatives, who do understand the free market…”. Priceless.
