Memo To Democrats: We're Through Being Cool



"Democrats have a love-forget relationship with the politics of the Vietnam years,...Most of the time, the national Democratic party is at pains to avoid the label "San Francisco Democrats" that was coined by Jeane Kirkpatrick in her devastating "Blame America, First" speech to the 1984 GOP convention,...The Democratic left never apologized for its antiwar politics,...The newest generation of "progressives," unabashedly descended from the San Francisco Democrats, wants the party rooted in the worldview and attitudes that came to prominence during Vietnam."

-- Daniel Henninger, hitting many of TMR's political talking points, in The Wall Street Journal
