Democrats go off the cliff

That’s the title of this great article by David Brooks in the Weekly Standard about how powerlessness has twisted the minds of the Democrats so that they ascribe the most evil motives to everything the Republicans do. A perfect complement to Brooks’ thesis is this article in the Washington Post about the Democratic Presidential candidates at a Jesse Jackson meeting. I thought Howard Dean’s allegation that “Bush intends to enslave Americans to work in underground mines for Morlock overlords” was a little over the top.
