WHY THE VENOM?

If the Left is so convinced that the Era of Bush-and-anyone-at-all-like-him is already over, and we might as well crown Barack Obama immediately... why the extreme anger? If they're convinced that the U.S. desperately wants more taxes, fewer cars, 19th century isolationism, less religion, no "norms" and the like... why not a more positive response to the daily news? Why the increasingly nasty reaction to, well, just about everything? If their side is going to win, and is winning already, why the overheated, often profane spew from those who claim to promote open attitudes and a willingness to have dialogue? Maybe their new-found (possibly feigned)confidence is built on empty hopes? And a fear that the USA's "fly-over" country still "gets it" when it comes to the stuff that matters most?
