What has Happened to “MY DADS” Democrat Party??

Naaah... history is cyclic. Any society with overwhelming economic power and no military threats turns to debauchery and hedonism very quickly. It's an organic process. There are plenty of community organizers and various other sundry hippies but they're really not nearly as influential and cult like as you think.

Even the *real* cults like the masons have gone through a tremendous decline of influence. I wouldn't be so quick to see conspiracies in everything.

Let me restate that for you ...

It is almost a law of history that the same wealth that generates a civilization announces its decay. For wealth produces ease as well as art; it softens a people to the ways of luxury and peace, and invites invasion from stronger arms and hungrier mouths.
