The Democrats Break Left
NRO ^ | 4 Aug 2019 | Kevin Williamson

The times, they are a-changin’ . . .

Ah, the good ol’ days of . . . April, or so, when conservative critics of the Democratic party could still count on being lectured to about the enduring moderation of Team Blue and chastised for paying so much attention to such figures as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (a member of the Democratic Socialists of America) and Senator Bernie Sanders (a member of the Democratic Socialists of America) and claiming that these self-described socialists are the socialists they describe themselves as being, who want to “abolish capitalism” (the stated mission of the Democratic Socialists of America) and the traditional family to boot (“democratizing the family to get rid of patriarchal relations,” in the words of the Democratic Socialists of America), all of which, the usual media scolds tut-tutted, was unfair. “The Democratic party is the party of moderates,” as Politico magazine editor Bill Scher argued.

Somebody must have slipped some psilocybin into the Democrats’ potato salad at this year’s May Day picnic. Open borders? Check! Eviscerating the Bill of Rights? Absolutely, with one of those weird barbed Uncle Henry gut-hook knives! What else? I hope that whichever debate moderator finally presses this crew about the limits of late-term abortion is over 35, because Elizabeth Warren was pretty clearly ready to roll up her sleeves and perform an impromptu D&E right there underneath the Art Deco adornments and heavy brocade curtains of the Fox Theater in beautiful downtown Detroit.

Just a reminder: I’m the Case against Trump guy, the one who described Donald Trump as a half-assed would-be caudillo with a sensibility halfway between Caligula’s and Liberace’s. My anti-Trump credentials are platinum-plated and cryogenically sealed. And I’m telling you: These people are bonkers.

“These people are bonkers.”

Yup. They’re going to bonk Trump right into the WH again.

A “moderate Democrat” (at least one in the DNC proper, and not just a voter) is one who still knows how to lie about being a socialist.

So the Never Trumper Williamson is just noticing this.

What a buffoon.

The left is simply showing more of what it has been made of for 30 years.

Unmask the totalitarian tyrants. The Leftist Luciferians and their spirit of antichrist will usher in the seven years of darkness, destruction, and horror. Their only “Progressiveness” is progressing to hell

Once their future leader, some Mullah (”The Twelfth Imam”), unmasks, the whole world will plunge into the last 3 and 1/2 years of complete darkness and unrelenting horror.

I hope these azzclowns go so far to the left that they see their own smelly azzes staring them in the face.

I think”bonked” is an euphemism for a word starting with f ending in ed...as in f**ked.

And they’re not even revealing the full extent of their treachery yet! They are all lock-stop, 100% in favor of total firearm confiscation but refuse to admit it. It’s time to force them to reveal their true intentions.

The short version of this is someone finally broke Williamson’s rose colored glasses.

He sees the dems for what they really are now and it ain’t pretty.

I love the fact that Trump has driven them so insane they finally let the mask slip and they let their true face show.

It feels like the late 70’s when the Rats went so far Left they had to run away from the word Liberal for several decades. They would scream like stuck pigs if called that pretended to be “moderates”.
