In this respect, the Democratic Party has truly lost its way. The historical titans Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy all understood in the marrow of their bones that liberating the human soul by working tirelessly for freedom and justice was a goal worth pursuing for a great Party and a great nation. Nowadays, their successors have made cowering in the face of threats, genuflecting to tyrants, and timidity in engaging the world beyond our shores a large part of their party’s platform.

This doesn’t necessarily explain why history passed the Democrats by, except that it revealed what happens when a party’s energies are directed toward maintaining power rather than trying to solve the nation’s problems.

Fantastic article. Thanks for posting it.
