<<Ghengis Khan had no "WMD's" but was able to kill plenty of people.>> His brother Sammy had all the WMD's in the back of his plumbing supply shop. They had a big fight one Christmas, and Sammy made him conquer the world with horses. Their mother sided with "My Little Ghengis", and they never spoke again. Ghengis hired a Mongolian Carville, and the rest is history...

<font color=blue>You wrote: "The Irrational Left has a weaker version of this same sickness: an Agenda of Elitism. Certain people will lead and direct every aspect of society and individual life from number of children, to schooling, to what can be purchased and for how much, to how much one can earn, to healthcare, etc. This is the nature of the Democratic leadership today, NOT of JFK's time."<font color=black> By definition, the "Irrational" Left will never be able to execute any complex agenda. I fear the confusion and ignorance of the Left more than the Elitism. The Left feels that things "run themselves" and that effective and knowledgeable management is more of a burden than essential. But you are right about the change in the Democrat Party. In their drive to differentiate themselves from the Republicans the Democrats have championed unpopular causes, which has attracted misfits, thugs, ex-cons and the mentally challenged. <font color=blue> You wrote: "Right now, President Bush represents a threat to the Agenda of Elitism and is bearing the brunt of every insult, slur and slop of mud that can possibly be thrown."<font color=black> I don't view the Democrats as elite. I view them as cave dwellers and the undereducated and underskilled, who are looking at the wonder of Bush's great management and leadership skills and, not understanding what makes things work, are throwing "insults, slur and slops of mud", similar to monkeys at a zoo who rip up a book because they either don't know what it is, or fear it." Democrat's only vision is called "hindsight". <g> <font color=blue> You wrote: "The Irrational Left will sacrifice ANYTHING, including truth, reality, even the lives of innocent people, to maintain their position of Elitism and their Agenda." <font color=black> There you go again, mixing "Irrational" with "Elitism". We agree, in total, over the actions of the Left. The Democrats would destroy America, or allow terrorists to strike America, or destroy the magnificent corporate structure of America, and then when Americans are living with waste and failure up to their waists, the Democrats would stuff what they could into their own pockets and run, similar to what the Clintons did to the White House when the sex crazed Clinton left office. <font color=blue> You wrote: "This is no "conspiracy," it's simple human nature."<font color=black> Interesting comment. I agree. Where the mentally confused see conspiracies of the many, the facts always show the mistakes or unlawful acts of the few. The Left sees conspiracies behind everything because they can't understand what makes things work. Working prototypes don't just happen, they are born thru significant effort and pain.
