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.

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-
