Monsters from the Id: Good-bye to All That's Democrat
The monsters from the id that now control the Democrat Party have transformed that party into a mob of undead extras from The Dawn of the Dead. It's an indecent and disgusting spectacle and I suspect there's more than a few million long-time Democrats who are revolted by it. That certainly seems to be creeping into the polls. No matter the good it once did, the Democrats today present as sick and crazed political party that is so greedy and hungry for power that it will do anything, including selling its country down the drain, to get it back.
Regardless of the race of the Democrats' selected nominee, Martin Luther King's dream of judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin has been transformed into a tawdry thing; a dried husk in which they wrap their skeletal remains, a hollow phrase spewed by the ascendent race hustlers of the party and lapped up by their acolytes.
Until 2004, with the exception of Guiliani's second term as mayor, I voted the Democrat ticket in every election since 1967. In 2004, offered the Insane Clown Posse of John Kerry and John Edwards, I voted for George Bush. The spectacle of the last four years of various Democrats reaching for the gold ring did not inspire me to change my view. Only the dead enjoy parties in a crypt. Not even Roman columns improve the Charnal house atmosphere that fumes through the party today.
From the party that gave us FDR, Truman, JFK and even, yes, LBJ, the Democrats have gone through a process of gradual but inexorable devolution to the party of such weak, tepid and compromised souls as Carter, Clinton, Kerry, and now Obama - the ultimate bargainer, the race hustler with an Ivy League sheepskin. But these chestless men the Party puts up are only the shadows cast by the compromises it has made within itself. It has made many compromises over the years, taken in many "causes" each one more dubious and rotten than the last.
As a result of this unremitting ideological promiscuity, the "progressive" party has become progressively more diseased from each submissive encounter. The gangrene that has rotted the body of the party has transformed it into some transnational Dorian Gray. Strutting and noble and handsome when preening before the cameras and the crowds, but putrid and pestilential when you see it as it is in the dull light of its polluted "new morning."
Politics is a profession founded on and fueled by hypocrisy. This we all know. But, at the same time, we also need a politics that somewhere within it has a shred of uncompromised decency, the understanding of honor, and more than a little courage. None of these qualities exists in the Democratic Party today.
For some time, I expected there would be a turning around among many Democrats. I expected that the better angels of their nature would triumph and lead them out of the moral swamp into which they were wading deeper with every passing month.
In the last fortnight, however, I have come to the place where the whole sorry spectacle and circus of the Democrats has finally filled me with disgust and revulsion. The party whose ideals once excited me has become a mockery, a dumbshow, a parody of itself, and a dangerous parody at that.
Instead of inspiration the Democrat Party delivers shopworn socialist solution, numbing boredom, sheer despair, intellectual and spiritual poverty, sexism, and the worst sort of racism seen since it gave birth to the Klu Klux Klan. Classical racism loathes "the other." The new racism of the Democrat requires one loathe oneself first and last, and to accuse those that do not of racism. To paraphrase Bob Dylan, "The Democrats want to get you down in the hole that they're in."
Instead of telling us what sort of New Jerusalem it would have us build as our City on the Hill, the party requires that its members root about in the ghettos of the soul, to ponder the rightness or wrongness of the very babies of its opponents. Instead of waving the bright banners of America triumphant, the Party dons the rags and bones of defeatism and appeasement and moves about the country like a tarted-up Typhoid Mary, infecting all who kiss its chancred lips. As a party, it's a poxed whore for whom no condom is thick enough. It's a death trip.
No more dates with Demy for me. I'll have no more to do with it. I know I'm not the only one. Day by day over the last fortnight, more and more are coming to this conclusion.
In a way, what the Democrat party is somewhat like a first wife thought about at a safe distance from the divorce.
You know you loved her at some point, but you can't really remember why.
You know she was beautiful to you then, but now you can only see the ruins of that beauty, and you are glad you had the best years.
You know that, yes, you must have been happy with her and had a lot of good times, but now you can't remember where or when.
In fact, when you think about her now you can't really believe you wasted all those poisoned years with her just because you believed that somehow, some time, she would grow sane, beautiful, and young again.
In some way, in some universe, that hope should be true about the people you loved. When it comes to the politics you once loved it is never true. When a party goes insane and degenerates into a diseased mass of hate, "an old bitch gone in the teeth, / A botched civilization" it never really reforms.
Like they say in the National Parks, "Once a bear is hooked on garbage, there's no cure."

I suspect that there are more people that think like this than we know.
This is why I left the Demonrat Party. I am a hawk guess what happened when I changed my mind on the war in Iraq to supporting it. They are rabid foaming at the mouth death worshiping zombies. Who ever compared them to the movie, Dawn of the Dead, was so right.
LOL, george bush doesn’t care about black bears

What an excellent description of today's DNC!
That will leave a heck of a mark! OUCH!!!
Beautiful. Describes the RAT party for the corrupt collection of Ultra-leftwing Marxist moonbats hell bent on destroying the nation that they are.
This should be syndicated to media the world over.
"As a party, it's a poxed whore for whom no condom is thick enough."
LoL!
What that looks like:
Yup, that's about right.
I’m sure that many on this forum will empathize with the author, having made our own escape from the Democrat plantation.
Only an escaped ex-liberal can truly appreciate how sickening life on that side of the fence really is.
“I suspect that there are more people that think like this than we know.”
I suspect so.
Spot on article.
“...weak, tepid and compromised souls as Carter, Clinton, Kerry, and now Obama...”
Exactly right, and these weak sops were transformed into facades of principled leadership by old media driven by socialist academia. Thankyou new media and Free Republic. Keep unwrapping the pretty silk from rotten leftist corpses.
Amazing to me; to hear still, so often. . .'but I was raised a Democrat'/My family has ALWAYS voted Democrat. I cannot leave my Party! Totally unaware, that Demrats in power; have replaced their 'old Guard, per their 'vision of the past'. (No reason to make them feel worse, by pointing out the time-line of 'degradations here'/lol.)
Bottom line; the movers/shakers of this Party are now all Marxist-Progressives - or some variation of 'communist et als'.
My response is to just tell them, that they do not have to say 'Good-Bye'. It has already been said; they just missed it.
Better, of course, to hear the truth, from 'one of their own'. . .
After reading this article, I somehow got the impression that the writer is not going to vote Democrat any more. Perhaps it was lines like the following:
[The Democrat Party] moves about the country like a tarted-up Typhoid Mary, infecting all who kiss its chancred lips. As a party, it's a poxed whore for whom no condom is thick enough. It's a death trip.I can't help but think he isn't happy with the Democrat Party.
Don't speak of the Democratic Party that way..
Democrat leaders and stalwarts fought the New Left and lost. (Kinda, sorta, at least until they started running.)
I knew the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party was a friend of America. The Rat Party is no Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party is still the party of Henry "Scoop" Jackson, Hubert Humphrey, Harry Truman, and others who I can think of but do not want to name as they were IMO a little too close to the commie side.
There are of course more like the three I did name -- and who could forget that Ronald Reagan was a Democrat until around the early 1960s I think it was.
Where do you think the Republican "neo-cons" came from?
The Rat leaders and stalwarts came from New Left gutter rats breeding.
And frankly, this is very clear as to why I was not on board with McCain until he nominated Palin. You don't compromise with evil, nor do accept it's premise. You defeat evil. We, conservatives, do not want to go to the left and accept socialist policies, which is what ends up happening with “reach across the isle.” When we reach, almost without exception, we get yanked by the very arm we are reaching with, by the left, and pulled over to the wrong side of the issue being addressed.
