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.

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.
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.
'we can all engage in stealth activism/!
The author is excellent at conjuring up visual images. Stretched my education a bit, though. I had to perform two Google searches to fill in some gaps (Dorian Gray and Charnel house).
“in the last fortnight, hoever, i have come to the place where the whole sorry spectacle and circus of the democrats
has finally filled me with disgust and revulsion.”
socialists with no manners, no sense of propriety, with egos the size of the grand canyon, with a sense of self-appointed brilliance, who badger and carp, who push and berate, who go about the country demeaning people who have faith, sometimes have a tendency to be obnoxious phalluses who disgust people and make them sick.
the question is, what took him so long to get fed up?
IMHO
Like the writer, I, too, was a Democrat, back in my younger years. It took Carter's "malaise" of double-digit inflation, stagnation, a pervading sense of doom and gloom that America was weak and faltering, contrasted with the bright, optimistic, clear, decisive message of Ronald Reagan. And to use that well-worn phrase, it was like the clouds had parted and the sun burst forth for the first time in many years.
Sarah Palin has brought that magic back again. The old and decayed false logic of the left leads to despair, but it is easily vanquished by those who know how to cut through it. It isn't difficult. To banish the darkness, one merely needs to light a lamp. Why it has been so excruciatingly difficult to find another lamp-bearer, has been the source of frustration to so many of us these past years. Rush Limbaugh has been adamant and correctly so that this is all it would take. We just needed someone to step up and call the fools on their own game, and tell it like it is. Sarah Palin, out of the clear blue just popped up and started doing that very thing.
I feel so relieved. I haven't felt this good about our countries prospects since 1980, and what a great feeling it is!
My family was always Democrat. So was I many years ago. But I grew out of it. I think in some ways the transition from Liberal to Conservative is the natural order of things. Winston Churchill believed so anyway.
What is happening now in terms of people waking up from the dream of deciet offered by the Democrats is different, in that it occurs outside the slow growth normally reserved for the transition from liberal to conservative.
The behavior of the left, mainly in the response to Palin, is so jarring to anyone not frothing at the mouth from years of “Progressive” Kool-aid, that it prompts this realization.
The lashing out has been that of a spoiled infant, and seeing such behavior in the supposed adults in media and on the left elicits a visceral defense response from healthy adults. Something has gone horribly wrong, even if you can't articulate exactly what it is.
If the strain of defeatist, valueless, vile hate and lust for power at any cost infesting the Democrat party is not exorcised very soon, they are finished as a political force in this country. Or we are finished as a country. It is definitely one or the other.
