Why did the Democrats lose?

The Republicans won important electoral victories in both 2002 and 2004. Anthony Robinson writes about where the Democrats have gone wrong. Let's hope the leadership of the Democrat party doesn't listen to him.
Democrats and liberals tend to tout themselves as the people of tolerance and diversity. But when you ask what tolerance and diversity really mean, it often means tolerance for people who share our views and the diversity "of the enlightened." Liberals decry those who would "impose" their views on school prayer while confidently imposing their preferred school sexuality curriculums. And last time I checked most of us were quite willing to impose our environmental views and policies on loggers, cattle-ranchers and miners. The "tolerant" versus "intolerant" is a false and elitist move.
