Even assuming that the epigrams posted above are your interpretations or translations of statements made on the DNC website, what strikes one is the simplicity of the slogan that is found in all good propaganda. However, it cannot be stressed enough that these are examples of good propaganda, not examples of coherent thinking. These epigrams are basically slogans. Slogans tend to cater to the mindlessness of those who are susceptible to the charms of mass advertising.
Which raises a more disturbing question.
To whom is this website targeted?
The DNC in Washington and the CDP in Sacramento know that the average voter is apolitical and only concentrates on politics at election time. They are not like you and me, nor are they like the Sturmabteilungen over at DU.
The Rat leadership understands that websites like this are needed to communicate with the activist base that get out and walk precincts.
This is the scary part: these slogans are for the activists; these slogans are for their extreme left base voters!
These slogans are a window into the mind of the activist left. Contrast this with most of the stuff you see on FR. Now I grant anyone here that you see plenty of blak helikopterz posts, a White Power post now and again, and a general suspicion of Arabs on this board. Other than that, one of the things I don't see is the kind of mindlessness illustrated above. That does not mean that it doesn't happen, but there usually is a lot of back and forth on a thread to flesh out an argument one way or another.
Among Republicans in general, my anecdotal experience has been more satisfying, and somewhat more intellectual. As a group, we do appear to be more willing to argue points of theory and practice. We do appear to have more of an attachment to the Constitution as interpreted in the Federalist Papers. At least that's what I see on our activist level. Among "apolitical" people who happen to be registered Republican, there probably is little difference between members of our Party's "sheeple" wing and that of the Democrats. Each party's "sheeple" wing is easily led and persuaded.
There is a level of contempt for liberal Democrats not only on this board but also on other sites and among the Party faithful, but it is a contempt that is based on a fear that the Democratic Party prefers to operate outside of the Constitution. We tend to believe that one day its efforts (such as the attachment of the dominant liberal wing of the Party to gun control and gun confiscation or its strange attraction to speech codes and "hate speech" laws) could lead it pell mell towards an attachment to European totalitarianism and a dimunition of liberty here at home. Although we tend to share many first principles, I am not sure that we are as susceptible to the kind of addled sloganeering and agitprop described above.
I fear that the kind of thinking exemplified by the examples posted above are exactly the kinds of thinking that lead to fascism. At least, that's my two cents.
Be Seeing You,
