This Clip Encapsulates So Much of What Is Scary About Progressive Democrats
David Strom 8:00 AM | September 27, 2024
 
I grew up in a Democrat household. We even had children's books about JFK, MLK, Bobby Kennedy, the Civil Rights movement, and I even campaigned for George McGovern in 1972.
 

My father, until recently, was a regular contributor to the ACLU and to this day, is a fan of the Founders and a patriot. We disagree on politics and policy but share an abiding love for the principles on which our country was founded.

As a lifelong Democrat, my father remains attached to the party, but one thing we both agree on is that the progressive left has become hostile to Constitutional principles and that it is scary. He thinks they are fringe; I do not.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Have become?  Bullshit.  Democrats have been hostile to Constitutional principles your entire life, Mr. Strom.
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-
