Good heavens.

That is the joy I am talking about. The moral joy of being an American -- left, right or wrong.

Hmmm...and you live in L.A. too, where I find your observation to be on target as it is pervasive through many SoCal Democrats.
Personally I call them spoiled limousine liberals with whom I've lost all patience. I don't think they don't have a chance in '08 of being a legitimate party with the way they're pitching fits and beating their fists onto the floor. Maybe Dean will change things, but he's so radical, I don't see how the party can come to an agreement in the next three years.
