Paul,welcome to FreeRepublic.
I found your article to be almost exactly my view of the last 16 years.
And your conclusion is that liberalism as we who are more then 50 years old understood it, died with the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Since the events leading up February 12, 1999 from 12 months previously, we saw a shift from a deliberate attempt to up-nd our view as Americans of what was right and wrong, and were offered a ringside seat to tactics designed to cover for a lawbreaking President and to, at all costs, hold onto the reigns of power, no matter the cost to society.
The failure of the Senate to do its job and to remove a sitting President due to illegal acts forever inoculated the Democrats to being held to ANY standard.
It also signaled that the Democrat Party and the MSM were now wedded into a monolithic Communist enterprise which meant to consolidate its power over America, strip its wealth, and destroy America’s moral integrity and defense of freedom worldwide.
These Communists began their long march 100 years ago with the Progressives, infiltrated the ranks of DC in the 1930s, and set the stage for the Cold War, with defeats, or perhaps more accurate “non-victories” in both Korea and Vietnam, instigating racial riots in the 1960s and the 1990s, and installing one of their own as President in 1993.
The eight years of Clinton and his harridan wife, while good ecomically, were a moral disaster for our nation, leading to its most horrific and costly attack on its citizens since its founding with the events of 9/11/01, and the financial collapse of September-November 2008.
This ushered in the Manchurian Candidate of all times to finish the process since 2009.
So, we no longer are in a fight against classic liberalism. We are now anchored in a fight to the finish with true forces of Communism which mean to finally win the Cold War with the crowning achievement of the neutralization of America as a global power for freedom, the delegation of the Constitution to the scrap heap of history, and the total stripping of the finances of the American government and its people, ending in national collapse, resulting in a Balkanization of these once-united States.
This is where we find ourselves in May of 2014.
We have less then six months to wake America up and to vote out Democrats across the board in order to save our nation from catastrophe.
The Democrats have proven over and over again that only raw power matters, at whatever cost is borne by the American people being irrelevant.
They must relegated to the scrap heap or history or we will be.
Thank you very much. I concur 100%.
