What would you call an organization that works to undermine American policy before we go to war, then works to undermine the American war effort by promoting our enemies' talking points, by advancing only the news that would hurt American troop morale, threaten American support for our troops, and ultimately, use our enemies' arguments to drive us into defeat?
Would anti-Bush Democrats have the national support they have if not for this domestic enemy? In fact, would Americans even be taking candidates like Hillary and Obama seriously if subjected to any form of real journalism?

Wherever collectivism, statism, Marxism, etc. has been tried, it has failed. If people knew what a financial disaster Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security are for themselves and they economy, they'd also turn away from the left. If people knew how much money has been spent on mass transit given the little return, they'd turn away. Ethanol. Global Warming. Affirmative Action. Education.
On and on, and on. The ideas of the left are destructive, and they are only made possible by the burden carried by the productive. Were it not for the ignorance and deceit in disseminating their ideas, as aided by the MSM, Academia, etc. the left would not even exist.
But there's never any long term worry because the ideas of the left will always collapse under their own weight. It's only a matter of time.
