'What's a Democrat?' Dems struggling to explain core values
Mass Live ^ | 2/21/15

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats are struggling to answer a simple question -- "What's a Democrat?" -- and must do a better job of explaining its core values to voters, according to a task force formed after the party's dismal showing in the 2014 election.

**SNIP**

It calls for more financial support and training for state parties in a return to the principles behind the "50-state strategy" promoted by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who led the DNC from 2005 to 2009. That approach aimed to compete in state and local elections throughout the country, even in states dominated by Republicans.

The final recommendation focuses on voting rights. It supports a constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to vote and attempts in Congress to restore portions of the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court in 2013 removed from federal law an effective tool for fighting voting discrimination under the act and Democrats have tried to restore those protections.

This is simple. A Democrat is defined as a liar, hypocrite and without any redeeming qualities. Must worship at the altar of socialism to the exclusion of all else. There defined.

IMHO, the Democrat core value is power.

And they reallyl don’t care how they get it. Slavery, Jim Crow, Welfare, Social Security, Obamacare, abortion, AGW, etc. Every program, every philosophy, every action they take is a means to give themselves more power at the expense of others, at the expense of prosperity, at the expense of their fellow travellers if necessary.

They will say anything, do anything, lie, cheat, steal, fabricate, manipulate, deceive or destroy if it advances their agenda.

The Democratic party and what they represent is the greatest threat to our Republic, to our country and to our planet that has ever existed. God help us if they are any more successful, if it isn’t already too late.

Pretty much explains things, if you recognize the movie.

A Dem is someone who hates America first and blames America first.

FWIW, on the Stephanopolus show this morning, some of the panelists seemed to be snickering about hillary’s wealth and detachment. They were talking about needing a candidate that represents people, instead of the dems representing big gov and ‘pubs representing big corporate and other wealth.

A lot of the Republican Congress could also be asked “why they are Democrats.”

What is a Democrat?

An unemployable black transexual dwarf cripple lesbian drug-addict felon tree-hugger with more tattoos than a Maori chieftan, more metal in her face than a shrapnel victim, and the IQ of a three-minute egg.

Or a billionaire regime affiliate making more billions from government subsidy and regulation.

Entitlement Army to provide the votes, crony capitalists to provide the campaign dough.

Dem’s should just re-issue “The Communist Manifesto” with a “Slo: Children Playing” cover.

Democrat Party core values.
All people, except for white males, are victims.
All non-white males are to be separated into special groups
America is to be depicted as an unfair, unjust place.
America has always been an unfair, unjust place.
all traditional American values are to be destroyed
America is to be transformed into a Scandinavian-type country with a strong, all-powerful central gov.
the power of the states is to be constantly diminished
the constitution is to be continually ignored and eventually abolished.

Whats a democrat? I have no trouble answering that:

A democrat is a liberal utopian fascist who does not believe any longer in the rule of law OR the Constitution. The Ends justify the means.

This was recognized widely in 2009 ( GOOD READ!):

Barack Obama : The Quintessential Fascist:

And we need to rid ourselves of them.Shame them into the dust bin of history.

Democrat core values: socialism/communism plus situational ethics and moral relativism. Other than those, none.

“A Democrat is someone that will stab you in the back every chance they get.”

So will a RINO and some so-called “conservatives” and “libertarians”.
