When Glenn Beck started his show on FOX he spoke of good democrats vs marxist democrats. When he ended the show some 2 years later he called the democrats a lost cause who had been completely overrun by the marxists.
I have friends or acquaintances, I wonder if they are really communists, what is the attraction. These people have good jobs, live in nice houses. I just don’t understand
“...he called the democrats a lost cause who had been completely overrun by the marxists.”
I’d like to say these guys have forgotten that Capitalism and individual autonomy are fundamental and crucial to American security, prosperity and our national character, but then that would be assuming they ever KNEW!
People who did not become Republicans until well after the era of Reagan? Was it GHWBush who convinced them to switch?
Or was the it Rats taking it on the chin in 1994 and then the embarrassment of the Party defending a rapist, sexual harasser, and perjurer who sold out technology to the ChiComs in exchange for illegal campaign donations?
The political “middle” has lurched Left even if the nation as a whole is ideologically to the right of the “new center” among politicians.
The cowardly Chicken Dees need to take BACK their own damn party from the Pelosis and Sheila Jackson Lees who embarrass them so.
As I think back over my long life (born in 1943), the last good democrat that I can recall is Martin Dies, Jr. of Texas.
He was instrumental in uncovering Communists via the research of the Dies Committee, which later became the HUAC. He was also noted for his attacks on Franklin Diablo Roosevelt's "New Deal", which Dies initially supported but ultimately realized that it was 100% Socialist. Dies also was among the first to expose FDR's Henry Wallace and his henchmen as Communists. Congressman Dies, of the Texas 2nd, was a stanch opponent of the CIO (which later united with the AFL), a union goon outfit comprised of Communists and fifth columnists.
Martin Dies' district is now represented by a solid Christian Conservative, Ted Poe, shown here:
