When are Democrats going to wake up and fight back?
I have been tremendously impressed with the passion and intelligence of most posters in this forum. What I don't get is the general naivete. Walter Karp (ex-editor of Harpers) penned "Liberty Under Siege" almost 25 years ago! here's a review from Publishers Weekly:

Woe unto thee, America...In Part I Jimmy Carter is described as the candidate of the democratic awakening, marked for systematic destruction by Reaction and losing one battle after another as the press grows "more stupidly cruel as Oligarchy grows more brazenly vile ..." In Park II Karp states: "The military establishment has been fed at the expense of "the poor, the ill, the handicapped, the schools, local services, student loans, enforcement of laws." He warns that the Right does not intend to give up power in the post-Reagan era: "It dreams and schemes and relentlessly plots to rule America from the grave."
