America’s political left likes to point out that their own dissent over the war on terror is both highly patriotic and a sign of the strength of our culture. What then to make of the true strength of a party that has become so intolerant of dissent from within that they now sometimes turn on allies as reliable as members of the Congressional Black Caucus?

What a perceptive article, and what a shame that most liberals will likely not read it or pay it any mind.

As is made clear in the preposterous article likening left-wing dissenters to Churchill (the ultimate Tory), the left is now embracing "dissent" as the core value in and of itself. It makes no difference what the issue is -- if it is supported by the current administration, the only acceptable position for the loyal left is "dissent."

No wonder that the thoughtful Joe Lieberman has been drummed out of the Democratic party for refusing to be a mindless obstructionist all day, every day.
