America’s radical left wing is learning many lessons of late. Remarkably, however, they couldn’t care less about the grades they are being handed by their teachers, namely the American people.

Lesson 1: Screaming before live TV cameras on the Senate floor like a maniac with a 40-pound overripe tomato perched atop one’s neck, rolls of blubber quaking beneath several chins, spittle flying and appearing to be just about to blow a heart valve, is not conduct that impresses Americans. This is how girl killer Ted Kennedy behaved during debate over Samuel Alito the day before Alito’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Obviously, bearing, dignity, maturity and discipline are not assets this drunken bigot considers important, and the following day, Alito was easily confirmed, as most Americans had hoped.

Lesson 2: If you sew hate, you will reap nothing of value and be shunned by the vast majority of American adults. As Clear Channel and shows like the “Gunny Bob Show” make huge ratings gains, hate radio scams such as Air America see their ratings plummet. This is because most rational Americans do not appreciate the kind of ugly intolerance and puerile programming found on Air America. Al Franken has been exposed in a book that excruciatingly details the never-ending stream of lies this has-been comedy writer spews, and I receive unsolicited hate email from Randi Rhodes, with the latter, of course, meaning I am doing my job and she is desperate.

Is that a death knell I hear in the now-not-so-far distance?

Lesson 3: Speaking of desperate, when your ratings suck because America ignores you, never attack those who are beating you senseless in the ratings, as most Americans accurately see this as an unprofessional indicator of said desperation.

Such is the case with one Keith Olberman and his failing “Countdown” on MSNBC, the network that briefly placed Michael Savage on its airwaves. A serious news analysis and commentary show this is not. With a format and host antics (”infantile” would be giving the pedantic Olberman credit) that appear to be based on “Peewee’s Playhouse,” this show with barely discernable ratings (according to Nielsen) is an embarrassment to the network that was once home to John Chancellor.

Lesson 4: Madmen generally fail. Such is the case with Howard Dean, head hate monger and screamer-in-chief of the adrift Democratic Party. The rank and file are furious that the nut job the party’s extremists placed in charge has engineered the loss of nearly all of the party’s funds. Dr. Demento was known to be a loose cannon when he was placed on the deck of the once good ship Democrat, and now the vessel is listing badly to port, the bilges are overthrowing and the pumps are failing. Man the lifeboats!

Lesson 5: Never tell a Marine, especially one under enemy fire, that his best option is to retreat and surrender.

Retired Marine Reserve Colonel and Congressman John Murtha, darling of the anti-freedom far left and poster boy for defeatism, did precisely that and followed up his stunt by saying the U.S. armed forces are so inept and cowardly that he would not join the military today. Some Marines are now being briefed by their leaders that they are not to hunt down this disgrace to the Corps in order to personally express their disgust and displeasure. Other Marines want his name stricken from the rolls of the Corps, comparing him to Marine traitor Clayton Lonetree.

Time to dodder off to the home for disgraced Marines, Murtha, where fortunately there is plenty of room.

Lesson 6: A liberal Democrat and career politician who swears up and down that, if you vote him in as a senator, will never do anything to humiliate his constituents, is surely lying.

Introducing Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado, who again has flown his true colors and propensity for being extremely economical with the truth. Salazar, who guaranteed the people of Colorado he would never toe the party line and do something unethical because his party demanded he do so, did exactly that Tuesday when he voted against the confirmation of Samuel Alito to the high court, who had the highest possible ratings from the bi-partisan American Bar Association. Salazar did so the moment he felt pressure from his handlers, Kennedy, Kerry, Schumer, Boxer, Reid and Dean.

How can you tell when Salazar is lying? His lips are moving.

As the Democratic Party crumbles under the onerous weight of its own morale bankruptcy, the ghosts of JFK, Truman and Roosevelt moan in the dirt.
