What’s really funny is that today’s Democrats think that they’re the “traditionalists.” LOL!!!

Democrats Can’t Control Their Extremism The party car has no brakes. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Captain obvious!

The reason why is that Democrats are not “Democrats.” There are no deomocrats, they are extinct.

So called democrats these days are “ liberal fascists.”

And if you want to have a really good read on how that happened, you can’t beat this article:

“Barrack Obama: The Quintessential Liberal Fascist”

*************************

“They fear that the development and building of People’s (community) Organizations is the building of a vast power group which may fall prey to a fascistic demagogue who will seize leadership and control and turn an organization into a Frankenstein’s monster against democracy.”

- Saul Alinsky responding to his critics, Reveille for Radicals; p. 199

Thank you, Louis Foxwell.

Long ago, American citizens have been warned by wise and learned persons about the consequences of inattention to, and departure from, the ideas of liberty upon which its Declaration of Independence and Constitution were formed!

Ohio State Senator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett, outstanding scholar, Legislator, and Minister, who lived through the period of the Civil War and delivered a most outstanding Centennial Sermon, at St. Paul Church in Norwalk, Ohio, by invitation, in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, in which he traced the history of nations and that of America, from it's inception and up to the Year of the Centennial of its Declaration.

In that Sermon, Dr. Arnett issued a grave warning of what might happen to America if a group, including academics who then self-described as "Liberals," had its way. Excerpts follow:

"The Danger to our Country.

"Now that our national glory and grandeur is principally derived from the position the fathers took on the great questions of right and wrong, and the career of this nation has been unparalleled in the history of the past, now there are those who are demanding the tearing down the strength of our national fabric. They may not intend to tear it down, but just as sure as they have their way, just that sure will they undermine our superstructure and cause the greatest calamity of the age. What are the demands of this party of men? Just look at it and examine it for yourselves, and see if you are willing that they shall have their way; or will you still assist in keeping the ship of state in the hands of the same crew and run her by the old gospel chart! But ye men who think there is no danger listen to the demands of the Liberals as they choose to call themselves:

"'Organize! Liberals of America! The hour for action has arrived. The cause of freedom calls upon us to combine our strength, our zeal, our efforts. These are The Demands of Liberalism:

"'1. We demand that churches and other ecclesiastical property shall no longer be exempt from just taxation.

"'2. We demand that the employment of chaplains in Congress, in State Legislatures, in the navy and militia, and in prisons, asylums, and all other institutions supported by public money, shall be discontinued.

"'3. We demand that all public appropriations for sectarian educational and charitable institutions shall cease.

"'4. We demand that all religious services now sustained by the government shall be abolished; and especially that the use of the Bible in the public schools, whether ostensibly as a text-book or avowedly as a book of religious worship, shall be prohibited.

"'5. We demand that the appointment, by the President of the United States or by the Governors of the various States, of all religious festivals and fasts shall wholly cease.

"'6. We demand that the judicial oath in the courts and in all other departments of the government shall be abolished, and that simple affirmation under the pains and penalties of perjury shall be established in its stead.

"'7. We demand that all laws directly or indirectly enforcing the observance of Sunday as the Sabbath shall be repealed.

"'8. We demand that all laws looking to the enforcement of “Christian” morality shall be abrogated, and that all laws shall be conformed to the requirements of natural morality, equal rights, and impartial liberty.

"'9. We demand that not only in the Constitution of the United States and of the several States, but also in the practical administration of the same, no privilege or advantage shall be conceded to Christianity or any other special religion; that our entire political system shall be founded and administered on a purely secular basis; and that whatever changes shall prove necessary to this end shall be consistently, unflinchingly, and promptly made.'

"'Let us boldly and with high purpose meet the duty of the hour.'

In another section of the lengthy discourse, Bishop Arnett addressed the topic of "The Greatness of America," as follows:

"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, 1876 "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" -

CENTENNIAL Thanksgiving Sermon, DELIVERED BY REV. B. W. ARNETT, B. D., AT ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH, URBANA, OHIO 1876 - available in the "Library of Congress - Historical Collections" - "African-American Pamphlets from the Daniel A. P. Murray Collection," 1820-1920; American Memory, Washington, DC.

This historical treasure is one which should be prominent in our national discussions, especially now, when our philosophical foundations are being challenged, and when the views of a learned man like Dr. Arnett might shed light on centuries-old ideas about America's history. His theme: Righteousness Exalteth a Nation, but Sin is a Reproach to any People."

"Withdraw from Christendom the Bible, the Church with its sacraments and ministry, and Christian morality and hopes, and aspirations for time and eternity; repeal all the laws that are founded in the Christian Scriptures; remove the Christian humanities in the form of hospitals and asylums, and reformatories and institutions of mercy utterly unknown to unchristian countries; destroy the literature, the culture, the institutions of learning, the art, the refinement, the place of woman in her home and in society, which owe their origin and power to Christianity; blot out all faith in Divine Providence, love, and righteousness; turn back every believer in Christ to his former state; remove all thought or hope of the forgiveness of sins by a just but gracious God; erase the name of Christ from every register it sanctifies—in a word annihilate all the legitimate and logical effects of Christianity in Christendom—just accomplish in fact what multitudes of gifted and learned minds are wishing and trying to accomplish by their science, philosophy, and criticism, and what multitudes of the common people desire and seek, and not only would all progress toward and unto perfection cease, but not one of the shining lights of infidelity would shine much longer. Yes, the bitterest enemies of this holy and blessed religion, owe their ability to be enemies to its sacred revelations - to the inspiration and sublimity of that faith which reflects its glories on their hostile natures. They live in the strength of that which they would destroy. They are raised to their seats of opportunity and power by the grace of Him they would crucify afresh; and is it to be thought that they are stronger than that which gives them strength? Can it be supposed that a religion which civilizes and subdues, and elevates and blesses will succumb to the enmities it may arouse and quicken in its onward march? Are we to tremble for the ark of God when God is its upholder, and protector, and preserver?” - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio, Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, November 1876

Dr. Arnett, an A.M.E. Minister and Ohio State Legislator, was invited to publish this remarkable sermon commemorating the Centennial of the Declaration of Independence by the following method:

the DNC party machine has been taken over (purchased outright) by the SorozNazi/IslamoNazi extreme leftists and they intend to use the D party apparatus to reinstall (and make permanent next time) their commie-Nazi leftist agenda......
they THOUGHT they had it made with HilLIARy taking over the Obama/Soroz agenda for a complete dictatorship...(and they nearly did)
they do NOT intend to fail next time

"If the Democrats succeed in reversing the results of the 2016 election by engineering a coup through the DOJ and the media, elections will cease to matter. And that will eliminate any final check on the left’s political extremism. That is what the investigations tearing apart America are really about."

Well, not any final check, but we don't want to have to go there.

[robroys woman]

They let the core get too hot.

The democrat party has become a political Chernobyl.

[Amendment10]

Democrats submit to bullies, possibly trying to fill the void left by weak parenting / family unit.

Stockholm syndrome comes to mind concerning bullies too.

Insights welcome.

[robroys woman]

Well, not any final check, but we don’t want to have to go there.

That is the elephant in the room. They will not successfully reverse the election without killing the US in the process.

[chris37]

Just as Republicans can’t control their cuckism.

[Bratch]

And as the Democrats go further left, the GOPe follows (at a slower pace, in an attempt to avoid detection).

[Yollopoliuhqui]

The Democrats’ controller apparat at New World Order headquarters understand that this is “endgame” for them. Too much info out there on the Internet exposing their true control lines. Trump put their plans for a 1984 take over past its necessary delivery date, so they are pulling out all the stops meanwhile revealing their camouflaged positions in media and academia. Their think tanks observe a loss of grip on youth subculture and a putting two and two together by the general public who possess a growing sense that the left has, in the words of Ken Kesey in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, gone bull goose looney.

[Windflier]

"What’s next? How do you out-Bernie him in 2020? Free homes, free cars and free drugs?"

Upcoming Dem platforms:

Assassinate Trump
Imprison Republican office holders
Repeal the 2nd Amendment
Make Spanish the national language
Mass importation of muslim 'refugees'.
Revoke the Treaty of Guadelupe and return the southwest US to Mexico
A carbon tax
Destroy all American historical monuments
Institutionalize racism against whites

I'm sure that list will seem tepid by 2024.

[Billthedrill]

In tribal politics, moderation isn’t a virtue, it’s a vice.

Certainly, because it tends to draw boundaries around the tribe, and doing so is political power at its purest. That does not mean it's political power at its most effective.

Social media are the new factor in this game, and tend to serve as amplifiers of stridency. Too much of this draws no boundaries, as it is inherently fissiparous. That, I suspect, has a good deal to do with the Democrats' fracture over the Bernie bloc. There the stridency of socialism met the stridency of party solidarity, and the party splintered around it. The medicine turned out to be poison in overdose.

The message does not appear to have taken. The Dems continue to criticize Trump for being "divisive" while fractionating their own party in the face of his coalition. The Deep Thinkers in that party have of late been pontificating over "how do we appeal to the white working class?", the unspoken addendum being "which we loathe." The answer is, they don't, and ideological purity triumphs over political victory. The only way around that is to cheat, through the courts, through the media. Which they are. If it doesn't work by the midterms, that party has a very serious problem.

[Little Ray]

Problem is, no matter how crazy the Democrats get, almost half the population will vote for them.
Add in vote fraud, fake news, and the dumbing down of the US, and their insanity is still a potential winner.
