Truth has a funny way of rising to the surface, though the journey is sometimes turbulent. It is not enough for the Dems to "change their views" on some issue or another. They have, in fact, an entirely bankrupt political philosophy.

New Deal economics, spending to prosperity? A costly failure. "Urban renewal" and socialized housing? A scandalous and costly failure. Feel-good, self congratulatory pacifism? A deadly failure. Multiculturalism, all lifestyles as equally valid and moral? The freakshow of Michael Jackson is the result.

One can go on and on, but what exactly does the Democratic Party stand for? The rights of the oppressed? No! If the oppressed is not a unionized worker who happens to be a U.S. voter, let 'em starve and live in squalor. The environment? No, environmentalism in the hands of the Dems it is a ruse, hijacked by radicals who view all life on earth as more precious than what they see as illegitimate human encroachment.

Do the Dem's stand for peace? No, sadly, the Dems stand for surrender to everyone and anyone who hates the United States. In the 1970s only avowedly marxist campus radicals chanted on behalf of Fidel, the Sandinistas, the Salvadoran gueriilas, and the Ayatollah. Now, the entire Democratic party races to denounce US policy, so long as it is being run by a Republican administration.

So there it is -- the Dems have become... dictators. Seeking power merely for its own sake, for personal prestige, wealth, control, and Saddam-like glory. Clinton (or his stupid but ruthless wife) would have loved a statue of himself while he was president, and if the Dems had their way, in a few generations that would no longer shock anyone.

A party that cannot weed out of its nominating debates the joke candidates has become paralyzed by its own insincere philosphy -- one constantly chosen after poll-testing rather than driven by sound moral principles.

So, the future belongs to a healthy and vigorous debate between competing conservative approaches and flavors. The Dems will become the free-spending "compassionate conservatives" on domestic issues and leave radical politics to fringe parties and the Republicans will become even more conservative. Or the Dems will fade away.

But Americans will not long suffer a party that -- not too secretly -- celebrates American losses, tragedies and suffering for the partisan advantage it might bring if it happens on the Republicans' watch.
