The Rage of the Democrats
American Thinker.com ^ | January 23, 2020 | Amil Imani

What underlies the rage of the Democrat Party and of the leftist Democrat Establishment vis-à-vis President Donald Trump?

Over forty years ago, during my high school years in Iran, my father and I had a conversation. He was an avid Republican, even though he lived on the other side of the world. Right before I prepared to leave Iran for the U.S., he gave me some fatherly advice. He explained why the Democrat Party was bad for America, bad for Iran, and bad for the world. He advised me that if I ever became a US citizen, I should never vote for Democrats. After all these years, I now understand what he meant by those words of wisdom.

For over twenty years, I did not vote simply because I was not a U.S. citizen. Even after I became one, I was not fully aware of the depth of this party's evil ideology, although eight long years of Obama's presidency was enough to make me realize where America was headed and what brand of Democrats were in charge. But it was not until the election of President Trump that exposed just how corrupt the Democrats and every government institution were. Now that that genie is out of the bottle, they cannot put it back in. Public trust is out the door — all because it was Hillary's turn to be president.

Great article with good points to use when showing others, particularly young people, just what “being a Democrat” means today. As he indicated at the end, “This is no longer the party of JFK”.
Thanks!

Those who control the Democrat party from behind the curtain are every bit as dangerous as Stalin or Hitler.

For the past three years, these phony investigations cost American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. They were fully aware that it was just a hoax and a fraud. In the process, they hurt the country and the American people.

That's because 99% of 'RATS are lawyers and lawyers are paid to represent the interests of the clients who are paying them. This current crop of 'RATS are bought and paid for by foreign governments and forces hostile to America like George Soros.

As pointed out some years ago by freepers Iron Munro and Old Yeller:

Mock the petulant child.

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”

— P.J. O’Rourke

The radical left enjoys controlling people from cradle to grave. (Sounds like Muslims.) They want socialism. They want to be in charge for eternity. The leftist agenda recommends denial of personal responsibility, encourages self-pity and fosters government reliance, promotes sexual indulgence, rationalizes violence, excuses financial obligation, justifies theft, ignores rudeness, prescribes complaining and blaming, promotes sharia law, denigrates the sanctity of marriage and the family, legalizes all abortion, defies religious and social tradition, declares inequality unjust, and rebels against the duties of citizenship... the Democrat Party has shown by both words and deeds that they despise the U.S. Constitution while they bend over backward to embrace Islamists, illegal aliens, and anyone who hates America and feels entitled. The left is interested only in power and nothing else — even if it means sacrificing our safety and security.

That's not the only reason. If they'd wanted that corrupticrat to be elected, they would have all been on the same page and done whatever it took to make sure she was. Hitlery was the Bridge Too Far for those across the aisle (you'll recognize it, there is concertina wire and guard towers with sharpshooters) who remembered the Clinton grifting, backstabbing, and self-obsessed aggrandizing that went on for the eight years from 1993 to 2001.
Undermining public trust is a mild way of putting what they've been up to at least since the time of Wilson -- the Demagogic Party wants the US to be a single party state. Period. The public trust in the DNC and its critters is what they are undermining now, because of the bright light of day.

And since then, he's morphed into George Will -- and given his lifetime of not actually working for a living, while snarking at everyone else, it isn't surprising. Conservative Author and Humorist P.J. O'Rourke Endorses Hillary [2016]

Hillary is a symptom, not the disease.

The disease is that mutated concatenation of every bankrupt and degenerate philosophy and ideology known to man that has been loudly and brazenly taking over our entire country.

Very good analogy.

“Give us Barabbas”. “Crucify him”.

FTA: “But it was not until the election of President Trump that exposed just how corrupt the Democrats and every government institution were. Now that that genie is out of the bottle, they cannot put it back in.”

That’s why the Rats hate him.

I want to see more immigrants like this one. A lot more.
