Democrats biggest problem w/ Democracy is they don’t believe in it anymore—dictatorship is their way of dealing.
the lib/dems pray to the later of marx & engels.....
somehow democracy is not anticipated in the communist gospels!!!
The Democrats big problem is that they are not Democrats anymore...they’re socialists or outright communists.
The dems don’t just have a problem with democracy abroad. They don’t like it at home, at least for union members.
The problem with this isn’t that the demoncats don’t want to push democracy. The problem is that the U.S. isn’t a democracy so why should we spread democracy? Our Country is a Republic and there is a HUGE difference between the two.
They’ve ceded democracy to multi-culturism.
I remember being taught in school that the US was a ‘melting pot’ of many cultures. That people moved here, absorbed our cultured and influenced ours with theirs. It was our strength.
Politically, there’s no power in that. Political power is created by highlighting and exploiting differences, i.e. Jesse Jackson.
They view it a crime to even think one culture is better than another, no matter what history has shown. And they view political constructs as cultural.
“The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge—and more.”
John F Kennedy
Miserable and bitter people now inhabit the democrat party. Gone are the those who speak for liberty. It is shameful.
Never mind overseas, I’m not sure they’re all that hot on supporting it at home, either.
And they are not so good a promoting democracy at home either.
It’s not only that the Democrats have stopped promoting democracy abroad, they’re all about stifling it at home. Item: Massachuetts Democrats went to extraordinary lengths to prevent the public from voting on the issue of gay marriage. Item: Democrats want to shut down Talk Radio with the Fairness Doctrine. Item: Democrat dominated universities, colleges and public schools have become cess pools of political correctness and speech control. Item: Democrats want to regulate everything that moves and subsidize anything that doesn’t move.
BTTT
The Democrats do not support democracy!! When they are in power, all they do is destroy it and our Constitutional Freedoms. When out of power, they state the Republicans are (projection) and hamper all efforts to spread Freedom and representative government.
Until the Democrats rid their party of Communists/Socialists (national and global), wannabe tyrants (it’s “for the children” so do not question them or you are a “bigot”), Islamofascist Appeasers (aka “dhimmis”), and “big brother” control freaks the Dems will NEVER stand for Freedom and Democracy.
Waco, Ruby Ridge, “FBI/IRS Gate”, REAL illegal wiretaps against Republicans, “FileGate”, suspicious deaths of Clinton’s Political foes and evidence holders, denial of basic Constitutional Freedoms (Unconstitutional “gun control laws” and the “Fairness Doctrine” being just two examples), and a DO NOTHING response to terrorism DO NOT promote security or democracy!
The Democratic Party is NOTHING but a bunch of tyrants in waiting. The Republican party needs to take note.
The article referenced is from Rolling Stone and is a criticism by a leftist on liberalism. As usual with a leftist, they do not QUITE understand why they are wrong. I will give the writer credit for introspection, but his inability to see the murderous evil of his base philosophy, socialism, and his usual leftist projection of acts on the right leaves me shaking my head at the predictable sophomoric argument.
The REAL meat of the article is in the “comments” section. This is where the REAL democrats, the “revolutionary socialists” rip into the author. Here is just on quote which pretty much sums up what the Left thinks of Freedom.
“Historically, the Left had a vision: replace capitalism with socialism. Almost everywhere in the world, serious socialist and communist parties emerged and contended for power, and were successful over a third of the earth. In America, socialism didn’t resonate with the working class, and so the American Left emerged as liberals, slow-motion socialists. The Left is still anticapitalist – at varying levels of consciousness – but has no positive vision of what it wants to replace capitalism with. For a while, the exciting new socialist societies of China, Cuba and Vietnam inspired the American Left, and still do attract the admiration of sections of it. But they somehow didn’t really retain their holding power and nothing really big and attractive has come along to take their place. Perhaps Venezuela will work out ... if Mr Chavez carries on in the revolutionary tradition of closing down right-wing propaganda outlets, and moves on towards seizing the wealth of Venezuela’s rich class and putting the economy into the hands of the workers state. Perhaps some good work can be done in America by the prefiguration of revolutionary rule. There are few places where the Left has much power, but where such power is held by the Left, let it be used. At the moment, this is mainly on college campuses, and some Leftists are doing good work there by breaking up conservative meetings and attempting to make racist and sexist and homophobic speech and thought into crimes. Showing what a future socialist society would be like by suppressing right-wing reactionaries and wiping out thoughtcrime could go a long way towards reversing the image of the Left as drippy, sandal-wearing wimps.”

"Doug" is the useful idiot who posted in the comments section and gave us a clear warning about WHAT the left is and why it is a danger. This is why they want us disarmed and this is what they indent to do when we are.
