This ain’t your father’s Democrat Party By Daniel Horowitz
July 26, 2016
One need not go back to the 1800s to find a Democrat Party with a shred of sanity among its ranks. As late as 1996, Bill Clinton declared: “the era of big government is over.” In his 1992 acceptance speech, Clinton mentioned God five times (unlike Trump) and referenced Scripture. ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ was the liberal policy of the time and even Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY (F, 2%) was championing religious liberty. Democrats held ground that most Republicans, including the GOP’s vice presidential nominee, Mike Pence, won’t even hold today in protecting religious liberty.
Fast-forward two decades and we have an entire party for which the term “liberal” is outdated. They are now the party of de-civilization. Man is woman, right is wrong, illegal is legal, terrorist is victim, government molds your character, the weather is a bigger enemy than Islamic terror attacks, criminals are police and police are criminals, etc.
Over a decade ago, Robert Bork warned that we were slouching towards Gomorrah. It is now apparent that we are living in Gomorrah. Sadly, what was on display last night at the Democratic National Convention is not merely outrageous behavior of a few thousand random radicals; these are the people that control every societal institution, the legal profession, and the bureaucracies to this day and will likely continue to do so even with a Republican president. This is now the party of transgenderism, illegal aliens, the Muslim Brotherhood, and racial warfare.
It was fitting that the convention was gaveled in by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the woman who became a symbol of lawlessness when she gave violent mobs “space to destroy,” maiming dozens of police officers. The two competing ideologies once differed on entitlements and subsidies; now there is no agreement on the basic concepts of ordered liberty, sovereignty, security, and fundamental rights. They champion the violent and divisive “Black Lives Matter,” openly showcase illegal immigrants on stage and delegitimize our deeply entrenched statutes governing our sovereignty. While they promote transgenderism, they have no time to discuss Islamic terror or give voice to victims of terror. While there were almost no American flags in the audience, at least one Palestinian flag was spotted. Meanwhile, Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) compared Jews living in their ancestral homeland to “termites” and Keith Ellison, a radical with support from the Muslim Brotherhood, got a prime time speaking slot.
This is a party that is so consumed with racial identity that they are purposely ignoring the daily terror attacks, the biggest existential threat to our civilization – one which should traverse ideological lines – simply because it undermines their racialist agenda. They spoke incessantly of equality, but their entire platform is built upon tendentious treatment for favored classes to such an extent that they refuse to confront Islamic terror. Their only point of contention was whether to include the “Q” in the sexual identity and deviancy alphabet soup (one area Trump outdid them!).
