The Radical Left Goes the Way of the Dinosaur

Tony Phyrillas at WebCommentary.com brings us his list of reasons demonstrating just what a bad year it has been for the Angry Left. Looking at them all together, one has to agree that things have not gone well for them, which is of course a good thing for all the rest of us.

The signs of the apocalypse for liberalism are everywhere:

• Fox News Channel dominates cable news, drawing millions more viewers than its liberal competitors. Left-wing icon CNN was so desperate to escape the ratings cellar in 2005 that it hired the host of the reality show "The Mole" to anchor its prime time newscast. Who's next at the CNN anchor desk? Regis Philbin? Bob Barker?

• The launch of Air America was trumpeted as front-page news in all the liberal newspapers, including the mother of biased reporting, the New York Times. The network turned into Dead Air America in 2005 and was rocked by a financial scandal involving deceptive loans to keep the network on the air despite dismal ratings. Conservative talk radio dominates.

• Hollywood box office receipts have declined for the third year in a row. The Left Coast continues to churn out movies that most Americans don't want to see, including tales of gay cowboys ("Brokeback Mountain"), transsexuals ("Transamerica") and sympathetic terrorists ("Syrianna").
