The Liberal Crack-Up

Years ago author and publisher R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. wrote a book titled "The Liberal Crack Up" in which he predicted the demise of the Democratic party and the resons for its eventual failure. In this essay, he revisits those arguments and reminds us why he was right and the left was so wrong about the future. And that future has come to pass just as Mr. Tyrrell and many others thought it would. The logical end of liberalism is a dead end with no way out, as the Democrats are just now finding out. This election was a disaster for them, whether they admit it or not. Only the courts are currently left to them, at least as far as govenment is concerned, and shortly they will lose them as well. From there it is only a matter of time until their last holdouts in media and education are also finished. And they will go down screeching all the way.
