The Professor, the Ballerina, and the Public Enemy

(snip) Not since the Copperhead Democrats tried to appease the South and derail the Lincoln presidency have the Democrats been such an explicitly anti-American party. The relatively moderate party of JFK and Hubert Humphrey was hijacked in the streets of Saul Alinsky’s Chicago in 1968 and at the Miami Beach convention of 1972, which nominated George McGovern, and was transformed into a radical group that can no longer contain its animus against our country, our history, and our Constitution.

(snip) For years now, I’ve been saying that the modern Democratic party is the unholy issue of thirties gangsters and sixties Marxists, a criminal organization masquerading as a political party, composed of thugs, lawyers, layabouts, and guilt-ridden dupes, and motivated entirely by a lust for power disguised as the phony virtue of “compassion.” And I mean that in the nicest possible way: The Republicans could use a little — no, make that a lot — of their ruthless moxie.

Speaking of gangsters and Marxists, Alinsky himself credited some of his effectiveness to the tactics he learned as an accomplice of the Capone mob in Chicago:

It’s all well and good for Mitt Romney to point out, in his golly-gee genteel way, that the Obama administration pays off its political contributors in the form of government-guaranteed loans and rigged contracts. Of course it does — that’s the very essence of gangsterism, rewarding your friends and punishing your enemies.

But if Romney thinks that’s going to enrage the good people of America, he’d better think again, and fast.

A closer study of the Democrat history shows that it has always been dependent upon criminal organizations. See the movie “Gangs of New York” for confirmation of this. Tammaney Hall was created in the 1780s.

Chicago’s Democrat party in the 1800s was run by gamblers, saloon keepers (they doubled as pimps, fences and housed pickpockets and other thieves) and brothel owners. The Outfit had its own aldermen, a US Congressman on the House Banking Committee and who even knows how many state representatives in its pocket.

Every city with a Mafia family showed the same pattern: buy votes or prevent opposition candidates support by terror tactics. This was established with the arrival in the US in New Orleans of the Sicilians in the 1860s. Their murder of the New Orleans police chief, David Hennesey, in the 1880s; the subsequent arrest, trial, dismissal (jury tampering) and lynching of the murderers by the outraged citizenry provoked an international incident.

Democrat ties to organized crime go waaay back.

You are absolutely right. It was just not conversation material in polite tea rooms and upscale salons.

And we really need blunt articles like this to shoot it from the hips. So it is not pc, so what?!

Republicans spending long time in DC inevitably get them tangled with the unsavory side (sorry for generalization) because the tendency to compromise.
