Is it me, or is something funny going on with the Democrats?

The Dems’ determination to raise questions about the legitimacy of elections has undermined the spread of democracy world-wide. No wonder the Russians and the Chinese have such contempt for democratic institutions. No wonder Hugo Chavez has a green light from his own people to appoint himself dictator of a previously democratic nation.

The question should be "why do democrats oppose our republic so much" and I think "yes" to both your other questions.

They're primary motivation is against Bush/Republicans (and for their own power/wealth). They have no real motivation beyond that. This country or any other is expendable by default.

It's not just you. Many people are under the misconception they think of themselves as Americans. They consider themselves Socialists instead of Americans. Our Democratic Republic is anathema to their goal of a strong centralized form of government by taking power away from the individual and giving it to the select few who run the government. Opposing our troops is one tool among many the Socialists employ to destroy our country.

Democrats are the ultimate paper tiger. They talk tough, remember what they said immediately after 911, but their true nature always comes through because above everything else they loath the military and the conception of the America we love. They are totally consumed by snobbery and arrogance as is found in Europe.

The Democraticans are a wholly owned subsidiary of George Soros and an oligarchy of other hugely wealthy “benefactors”. It has been a long time since the party has been anything like “democratic”, in that the decisions within the party are agreed to by consensus of the majority. Now, the “ideals” are dictated by a small clique at the top, and the word is spread partly through ward heelers, but increasingly much more through “town hall” communications sent out over the mainstream media and via online blogs dedicated to the purpose, using the “talking points” memos.

Interfering in any way with these lines of communication (like sending in “missionaries” with Republican credentials to the various urban wards) is met with violence and some pretty nasty retaliation, like slashed tires and office break-ins. Trying to get a foothold in the “mainstream media” results in an informal embargo, like Democratican political candidates refusing to appear on Fox “fair and balanced” TV programming. And cries go up for a renewal of the “fairness doctrine”, dictating the limits and conditions under which various viewpoints may be presented on the “public” airways. In a similar manner, there is a demand for “regulation” of the use of bandwidth on the Internet.

One man, one vote, one way, one time. Then forever locked into that decision, never to be rescinded. No matter how conditions may change.

For the same reason they have twisted the word “liberal” from its original, honorable meaning — to claim they are something they are not.

(Note to those who may be historically deficient — a liberal from the 18th century holds many of the same positions as a conservative today, and an 18th-century conservative would feel comfortable in the Democrat Party today. Also, the Republican Party was formed around a radical agenda — abolition of slavery, and promotion of individual liberties. They were called liberals in the 19th century.)
