Some of what I read and hear from the liberals in this country sound reminiscent of the Soviet Union. Starting with the attacks on religion continuing through the attempts to use government to play Robin Hood. The problem that the left doesn't realize is that the religous within the Republican party do represent a majority. Which is why election after election after election the democrats get spanked and leave with hat in hand. They don't realize that their extremist views are in the minority. They just don't get it and I don't think they will in the near term either. I think it will take a few more beatings before it really sinks in.
