    RELAX? You're asleep at the wheel, Lind.

    But you're surrounded by a whole caravan of like-minded folks.

    Whether it is espoused by the punditry or rank & file Democrats, the conventional wisdom that Liberalism and the Democratic Party are synonymous is ridiculous.

    In the wake of such a comment, gratuitous Nader insults are compulsory for the party faithful. But it wasn't long ago the very people issuing them were incessantly - and justifiably - complaining about the Democratic Party's moral cowardice, complicity and invaluable assistance in helping The Bush Machine achieve its imperial and fascist objectives.

    Now, in a spasm of election year ecstasy, those concerns have been either internalized or dispensed with altogether.

    Denial isn't just a neo-conservative phenomenon.
