Without a message they wince; they are acting like what H.L. Mencken said of the Puritans, that they lived in constant fear that someone, somewhere is having a good time.

Actually, I believe Mencken was being unfair to the Puritans. They did enjoy their beer!:)

What bothers Democrats isn't anyone having a 'good time' (that is what keeps the people duped), but that someone may actually be free from their power.

I agree with you. From what I've read, they were also enthusiastic about 'marital relations', as well.
