I have been a firm believer that the democrats began their march to permanent minority status when the liberal left began pulling back, then critizing the morality of our War on Terror (WOT). They started slowly, but have ramped up continuously. All the time the democrats and independents who understand why we are at war, what they stakes are, and why we cannot falter become repulsed by the liberal anti-war diatribe.

While I can state this succinctly, Don Suber superbly explains it in great historical detail. This is a must watch site.

How The Left Lost The War On Terrorism
History will record that the left lost the War on Terrorism because it focused on thwarting the re-election of President Bush, rather than on stopping terrorism. Within 10 days of the attack on Sept. 11, 2001, the left was saying: Democratic rights in America: the first casualty of Bush’s anti-terror war. Within two months this red herring had moved from the loony left to the mainstream left, a New York Times editorial on Nov. 16, 2001:

In his effort to defend America from terrorists, Mr. Bush is eroding the very values and principles he seeks to protect, including the rule of law.

Indeed, antiwar protests began even before there was a war! Act Now to Stop War & Eradicate Racism was “formed” on Sept. 14, 2001.

A very long, but well done recap of where we have come since 2001.
