What's going on with political forums these days?

From this one, to the Democratic Underground, to others that I stop by and visit from time to time, there's a definite lack of participation by those on the left. And when there is participation, to me, there's a definite lack of enthusiasm.

I recall during the darkest days of the Bush administration that I and a number of buddies would routinely show up at one political foum and take our lumps from our buddies on the left. Whether it was the dismal days of an insurgency in Iraq definitely not in their last throes, the tough election of 2004, the even tougher election of 2006, we reported for duty.

Now, it appears to me that when there is participation by the left, it's half-hearted, spotty, and milk-toast-esque. One would think that with the presidency, the senate, and the house of representatives all held by not only the democrat party, but by the left wing of that party, that these guys would be enboldened, heck, even strident.

Maybe they're just so confident that their cherished goals of a significant government takeover of much of the American economy is going to come to pass and therefore there's not much reason to shout from the rooftops?

dunno.

I keep thinking Kola has bounced back, when the cow with the sunglasses pops up. Then it turns out to be Pig Farmer using her avatar.

some things you can easily defend... others aren't worth defending..
