I think this is an important essay.

Liberals all to often degenerate the enemy as foolish boobs while those foolish boobs call the shots. G.W. Bush was a perfect example. Liberals snickered about his pronunciation of nuclear, denigrating his intelligence while he quietly went about being one of the most successful presidents in ages. His goals were to hamper government regulation of business, Extend the hand of U.S. power to the middle east and depose Saddam, expand the role of Religion in the government sector, and increase the power of social conservatism in the public realm. We laughed and insulted, calling the man an idiot while he checked boxes off his list. Take these people seriously, they have a lot of influence and are dangerous to all who believe in a liberal government that is involved in making the lives of American less risky, and more prosperous.
