| The Degeneration Of The Democratic Party... |
| 2004-04-14 |
...from Vanderleun at www.americandigest.org . SEVERELY EFL'd, read the whole thing - these are the highlights as I saw 'em... Question: When is it permissible in the United States to call a distinguished African-American an "Uncle Tom'"That's the way it is over on the Daily ("Screw 'Em) Kos. You see, it seems that Secretary of State Powell is in the minds of these twisted people guilty of.... guilty of.... what? Of being a Republican? Of being an African-American that doesn't seem to want to follow the party line? Strange. The message is that anyone or anything that stands with or supports, not the policies nor the positions of George Bush, but the very person of George Bush is to be attacked and denigrated with every slur at their command. I will spare my gentle readers the details of my own political odyssey since September 11, but I will note that as of last year I was determined to vote Republican instead of Democrat in the coming elections more out of sorrow than anger. But that was then and this is now. Now I have come to the place where the whole sorry spectacle and circus of the Democrats over the last year has finally angered me. The party whose ideals once excited me has become a parody of itself, a dangerous parody. Instead of inspriation it delivers either numbing boredom or sheer despair at its intellectual and spiritual poverty. Instead of telling us what sort of New Jerusalem it would have us build as our City on the Hill, it takes us into the slums of the soul. Instead of waving the bright banners of how, it dons the rags and bones of defeatism and appeasement. Instead of leading the parade, it wants to make us content with following after the elephants with a shovel and a wheelbarrow. When it needs to supply us with someone to believe in, to follow, to admire and to trust, it offers up John F. Kerry and his rollicking side-kick Ted Kennedy. It's like after sitting through the long and tedious circus of the primaries, the party went out and chose Emmett Kelly; the saddest clown of them all. From the party that gave us FDR, Truman, JFK and even, yes, LBJ, the Democrats have gone through a process of gradual but increasingly shrill devolution to the party of such weak, tepid and compromised souls as Carter, Clinton, and now Kerry. And the men the Party puts up are only the shadows of the compromises it has made with itself. And it has made many compromises over the years.... and become the poorer for each one of them. Perhaps the reason the Democrats are still so obsessed with Vietnam is that it was the war that pitched them into the quagmire of their own making; a quagmire that sucks them deeper into the pit of inconsequence with each passing election. True, they did start to climb out of the quagmire of sixties politics and Vietnam with Clinton, but it was only for a few years until Clinton's own sixties tendencies sucked them back down. What we see instead is a party that has been so out of power for so long, and is so deeply out of touch with so much of the body politic that it has turned in upon itself in its hunger for power and, through starvation, has begun to consume itself from the core out. This is why we are starting to see such chilling incidents as the ad in a newspaper in Florida by a Democratic Political Club calling for the killing of Donald Rumsfeld. That's why we are almost certain to see a move in the next few months on the part of the Democrats to bring a Bill of Impeachment against both the President and the Vice-President. It won't pass. It won't be expected to pass or even make it to the floor. It will be there just for the "news-cycles" it will churn up. And this all arises from deep within the monsters from the id that now control and move the Democratic Party across out political landscape like a mob of extras from The Dawn of the Dead. It's an indecent and disgusting spectacle and I suspect there's more than a few million long-time Democrats who are revolted by it. Bush-Hate, racism, calls for the death of Republican cabinet members, snide innuendo, joy at the death of Americans in Iraq, the endless political thumbsucking of the 911 Commission, and there's more on the way, much more. It's a tired, sick and crazed political party that is so greedy and hungry for power that it will do anything, including selling this country down the drain, to get it back. I'll have no more to do with it. I'm not the only one. ..I'm going to go one step further. I believe some time before the election, you will see a direct, unambiguous call for 'armed resistance' against the Bush Administration from a national political figure. God help us all. Mike |

| #13 One place may be during the DNC in Boston...It will be interesting to see if the local Iron Worker AFLCIO thugs come out of thier local bars and try and start something.. "Chicago '68", anyone? The real question is whether it'll happen in Boston or NYC. |

| #11 Democrats will hold the Million Donkey March. The "ticket", Kerry-Hillary will be in attendance. They will go to the mall in Washington, hold their fists aloft (hence 'armed'), and sing such songs as, "Kum-By-Ya", "We Shall Overcome", "Blowin' in the Wind".....etc, etc, etc. You get my drift. |

#10 believe some time before the election, you will see a direct, unambiguous call for 'armed resistance' against the Bush Administration from a national political figure.I don't doubt it, but what will they "resist" with? Signs, puppets, and lattes? Moonbats don't "believe" in guns, you know. Normal Americans, on the other hand.... |

| #9 ..I'm going to go one step further. I believe some time before the election, you will see a direct, unambiguous call for 'armed resistance' against the Bush Administration from a national political figure. God help us all. I've commented on leftist calls for revolution before. In actuality, the strategic situation is considerably better than one thinks, provided we get prepared. |

| #8 EX Dem here too up to 2000. Never again. This is not the party of Lieberman and moderates trying to pull the country together. In Kerry's own words "...liars and crooks..". That really unites the country well since at leat 1/2 are GOP. Nice job Ketchup Man. The GOP is somewhat right of center but closer to the middle than the far left Dims. |

| #6 I found myself nodding vigorously through the whole thing. Thought I was a Democrat, and until 9/11 the thought of voting for a Republican was ludicrous. The Dems have no idea just how many people they've alienated. |

| #5 I've been a Republican since jimmy carter's Since then I've witnessed the unstoppable slide, of the democratic party, into ever more perversion, and murder of the innocent. I don't understand how anyone can vote for a goddamn democrat. They're a bunch of dicksucking, baby killing, carpetbaggers, hellbent on destroying The United States. Bring on the "armed resistance". I've got something for those faggot motherfuckers. |

| #4 Vanderleun's description of his political odyssey pretty much tracks mine (Democrat for 31 years, Republican since this time last year), though mine began long ago. The events since 9/11 weren't a sea change for me, simply the last straw. |

| #2 One place may be during the DNC in Boston. There is a large demonstration being planned by Vets Against Kerry in Boston to coincide. It will be interesting to see if the local Iron Worker AFLCIO thugs come out of thier local bars and try and start something and other hate Bush goons make there presence felt. |

| #1 I go a step further, and say what I've said before: There will be violence related to this election. I'm undecided on whether it will happen before or after the voting, but I'm completely sure it will come from the left. |
