The end of hate

Oddly enough, I see an end in sight to the left’s complete contempt of one George, W. Bush, currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Such an obsession could possibly be understood prior to his re-election, but why do they continue to focus on destroying a man who will never go before the voters again?

I believe liberals fantasize they can somehow bring down President Bush in time to prevent him from changing the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court. They believe, if he or his administration were to be embarrassed, defeated, indicted or impeached neither he nor his successor would have enough “political capital” to gain confirmation of conservative nominees. In their minds, radical democrats from across the spectrum of special interests imagine they could force a weakened administration into preserving the current liberal bias of the court. Therefore, it has become a moral imperative for the left to vehemently oppose anything Bush says, does, proposes or even thinks. Any success for the president or America, for that matter, works against this strategic objective of the left.

Ultimately, the ‘great cultural divide’ in America centers on abortion, privacy rights, stem cell/cloning and other social and religious issues. Republicans have labored for 30 years to regain control of the presidency and congress in part, to stop courts legislating from the bench. For liberals, this scenario is Armageddon, which explains why they have directed such desperate distain toward anything and everything Bush.

Now that judge Roberts has been confirmed and a second conservative has been nominated, the intensity of the left’s frustration has reached a fever pitch. Otherwise intelligent liberals are apparently unable to control their outbursts in public or during family gatherings. It’s not uncommon to hear them berate the president out loud at the mere mention of his name and begin an unsolicited, irrational tirade against; that idiot Bush, Republicans, Conservatives, Evangelicals, Right-to-Lifers, Halliburton, WMD, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Dobson, Bill Bennett, FEMA, “Brownie”, Karl Rove, Tom Delay, Halliburton, Abu Ghraib, Terri Schiavo, Guantanamo Bay, Halliburton, Halliburton and (oh yes) Halliburton.

Once the left sees that president Bush has succeeded in appointing three conservative judges to the Supreme Court, they’ll know the battle for control of the Judiciary is over for a generation or more. Having finally lost the Judicial as well as the Executive and Legislative branches of the Federal Government, Democrats will jettison their absolute allegiance to pro-abortion organizations such as NARAL as well as other radical special-interest groups. As they turn their efforts back to winning elections through the political process, civility will return to the public square and the current era of the ‘politics of personal destruction’ and the democrat’s visceral hatred for all things Bush - will end.

Of course, I could be wrong. After having been wound so tightly for so many years, frustrated and defeated liberals could just start shooting people instead.
