The problem is, Neeka, that a lot of the things you say can be applied to conservatives, also. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure Coby snd Lane3 aren't liberals, and I have never considered myself one, and usually vote conservative. Most true liberals wouldn't post on this thread (or have and been banned) and I bet the phrase in your paragraph "leaders with stupefyingly poor judgment married to Napoleon complexes" would resonate in an entirely opposite tone for them, and some of them are extremely educated and thoughtful-- and patriotic--- people. This administration has done some things that have alarmed the more moderate (I knew Bush was in trouble when my 81 year old mother-in-law, who has never voted anything but Republican her whole life, started criticizing him). That is what I took to be the point of Lindy's Bircher's post-- that the demonization of either side is a problem, and when we confuse the identity and nature of the Other side with that of the true enemy, it becomes destructive to the whole of US. There is a need for articulate, rational statesmen who are able to get beyond seeing the "others" as part of the conspiracy on both sides.
