The Democrats and Keyser Soze

Theo Caldwell     |     October 6, 2018

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled,” advised Keyser Soze, “was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

One of the best lines in movie history, uttered by the recently unpersonned Kevin Spacey in his Oscar-winning turn in The Usual Suspects, it has the benefit of being true.

Not to plot-spoil it for readers who have not found time in the past quarter-century to see this two-hour tour de force, the twist of the tale is that, not only does the devil very much exist, he takes the form you would least suppose.

That is, he feigns weakness, innocence, and vulnerability, even as he exercises wickedness, power, and control.

The trouble for Democrats in recent days is that their disguise has become transparent.

If it seems this dialectic equates the Democrat Party with the devil himself, then you are following aptly.

Millions of us are neither hard-core Republicans nor diehard Trump fans, but we know we could never join with the left in general or the Democrats in particular.

This is because we see the Democrats as the party of partial-birth abortion (and selling dismembered baby parts thereafter), relentlessly sexualizing children who make it into the world, incessantly dividing people by race, purveyors of lies and profanity, hateful accusers of Christianity and traditional mores, control addicts and tormentors of those who dissent, the political arm of the angry mob.  .  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Just saw that movie a couple of months ago.

Keyser is a chilling figure.
