I sincerely believe we are in a low-intensity civil war. It may not be a war of violence (for the most part...though the left seems hell-bent on changing that) just yet but it's definitely a war of ideals and vision. Those once considered the "lunatic fringe" of the left are now mainstream as are their ideas. The same ideas that have been tried, without success, all over the world.

The corruption of the media, the schools and universities and even many parts of the government is unprecedented. I really don't thing there are enough adjectives to describe how far gone the left really is. They are just detached from reality.
