Yes, it's time for the formulation of a NEW Democrat AMERICAN Party.
The Democratic Party once produced Presidents such as Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy. These major Democrat party leaders were fierce opponents of mass immigration because they recognized the negative impact it had on wages.
And America’s center-left party presented itself as a friend to American workers, fighting for Americas interests against corporate bosses.
But the Democratic Party of the past is "NOT" the Democratic Party of today. Indeed, the current Democratic Party is more concerned with defending “international socialism” than American workers.
.It has now become a socialist party, Today’s Democratic Party has completely abandoned the ‘middle ground.’ It is now a full-on ‘progressive party’ with an agenda and platform almost indistinguishable from that of the Communist Party, or Democratic Socialists of America.
The Democrats of today would be marching in the streets against traditional Democrats such as Harry Truman or JFK.
Today's Democratic National Committee, has had a long history of involvement with both the Communist Party and radical Islamic groups.
Democrats are actively involved with several Muslim Brotherhood front groups such as CAIR and the Muslim American Society.
The Democratic Party has "NOT" always been characterized by unquestioning support for open borders. Indeed, the American left’s sudden backing of mass immigration is fairly recent.
Until the mid-1990s, both the AFL-CIO and the Democrats were staunchly opposed to lax border security, Illegal immigration disproportionately hurt both the black community and their white working class base.
However, in 1994, the Democratic Socialists of America, under John Sweeney, took over the AFL-CIO from Lane Kirkland and his supporters. The clause prohibiting communists from holding AFL-CIO office was quietly dropped. Now the AFL-CIO is completely controlled by the hard left. Orchestrated by another DSAer, Eliseo Medina, the AFL-CIO switched its policy in 2000 to open support for amnesty for illegal immigrants. The Democrats quickly followed suit.
The modern Democratic Party has abandoned even the pretense of trying to help American workers. Instead, they seek to gain power by essentially replacing the current American people with a new work party.
The prize was 12 to 30 million illegals – who would vote 70 to 80 percent Democrat. This would effectively bring about a one-party state, controlled by the Democrats and the communist controlled unions. The AFL-CIO and Democratic Party today represent international socialism. Damn the American worker.
As a result, the current Democratic Party is really just an anti-white coalition. The Democratic party now feels white people should not be entitled to protection under the Voting Rights Act.
The Democratic plan is simply to replace American citizens. The left wants to expand the Democratic Party voting base to create a socialist one-party state. The simplest way to do this is to flood the country with immigrants from Third World countries, who have little interest in the Constitution and are reliable Democratic voters.
If Donald Trump is smart, he should confound the Democrats plan by closing the borders. Trump should be dramatically reducing all immigration and promoting America First, low tax, high growth policies which will win over significant numbers of working class, black, Asian and Latino voters.
Drop the “Democrat” part ,99% of parties with it in the name are really Communist/Socialist
An Irishman opposing immigration because it lowers wages? There's irony for you. The Kennedys and Buchanans didn't seem to mind immigration one little bit in 1850!
No, we don’t want the left to get any common sense. Just keep being radical and wacky on their side. We need a better message to get moderates over to our side like a well written pamphlet with companion youtube documentary.
As was said in Roosevelt’s time I’m an Al Smith Democrat.
I watched the debate between Nixon and Kennedy on youtube.
He sounded word for word like a typical lib.
He had a few moments but he was a lib.
Why would you WANT a new and improved dem party?
And would you say italian and irish and jewish immigration were failures?
This is a copy and paste of a World Net Daily column with a different heading.
And why the hell would we want a "new" Democrat party that is in more direct competition with the GOP? Dumb.
The only trouble with replacing us was we’re still here.
Truman & JFK were in the military.
Last 2 RAT POTUS were not.
Does it matter ?
There is a Democrat party. It is called the Repblicans party, minus the Conservatives.
Could be time for a new GOP too!
I agree a new party needs to be formed, but it should not have the word “Democrat” in it anyplace. It’s a brand name similar to what Edsel was to Ford a few decades back.
It also implies communism and socialism.
With the Republican party married to the globalists, yes, there’s room for a new truly American party.
But with our latest snowflake movement and the globalists not yet relinquishing the reins of power, it’s a long way off.
It may actually take CWII to make it happen.
You mean the legal immigration in 1850.
Those immigrants didn’t want handouts and they weren’t gang bangers. Myths from Hollywood are irrelevant.
Harry Truman who tried to nationalize the steel industry and disarmed our military so badly that ‘Task Force Smith’ happened in Korea in 50’.
And Kennedy that has given us the Castro brothers off the Florida coast.
No we don’t - let them spiral into decades of obscurity.
You mean like Tammany corruption or the Oklahoma Land Rush?
and they weren’t gang bangers.
Enough were that the Irish gang stereotype had validity (Northside Mob in Chicago, Southside Boston etc.) In the same way the most Italians were law abiding, but the Mafia was and is real.
In any event, Irish immigrants were deeply despised for lowering wages in the mid 19th Century. The Nativist movement of the time was very powerful and styled themselves as Patriots.
Of the 535 members of congress, about 50 are reliably constitutionally anchored. America as we know it won’t survive with those numbers and the cronies on K-Street.
The foundation of federalism is broken. A New Democrat party will not fix it. Article V Convention of States. Eliminate the 17th Amendment, term limits, balanced budget, judicial review, and others.
Why are you at FR?
Truman took over the steel industry with soldiers. Kennedy was a wuss on foreign policy
Democrats also gave us Woodwrow Wilson, FDR, and Bill Clinton
The history of the rats is filled with KKK insanity and the likes of Robert Nyrd
Just puhleeeze no
I;m sure I’m not the only one who notices that you hear very little from or about the American Communist Party. They admit they are not needed any more.
