It is not unusual for Democrats to say<\/em> something reasonable and then do<\/em> what is totally unreasonable.\u00a0 We\u2019ve come to expect that; it\u2019s the \u201cnature of the beast.\u201d\u00a0 But when they feel politically threatened, as they now feel threatened by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, it is then we get to see the true face of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

In recent days, an Obama SuperPAC, funded and managed by people close to Barack Obama, has produced a TV ad in which Mitt Romney is accused of being responsible for the death of a steelworker\u2019s wife.\u00a0 The truth is, the steelworker\u2019s employer, which went into bankruptcy, was shut down by Bain Capital two years after Romney left the company.\u00a0 When the steelworker, Joe Soptic, lost his job his wife continued to have company health insurance for at least another two years.\u00a0 She was not diagnosed with cancer until five years after her husband lost his job.<\/p>\n

Then, on August 14, in a speech before a largely black audience in Danville, Virginia, Vice President Joe Biden suggested that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would like to \u201cput y\u2019all back in chains.\u201d\u00a0 Surely Biden understands that it is his own party that has maintained black Americans in slavery and in political and economic bondage since the earliest days of our republic.<\/p>\n

The saddest part of Democratic Party history took place during the post-Civil War era when they attempted to nullify Lincoln\u2019s Emancipation Proclamation through Jim Crow laws, Black Codes, and worst of all, the Ku Klux Klan.\u00a0 Between the years 1882 and 1951, some 3,437 blacks and 1,293 whites, nearly all Republicans, were lynched by the KKK, acting as the paramilitary arm of the Democrat Party.\u00a0 No one knows how many thousands more were lynched by the KKK between the close of the war and 1882 because Tuskegee Institute and NAACP archives don\u2019t contain those statistics.<\/p>\n

As a product of the Chicago Democratic political machine, Barack Obama is not what one would call a man of compassion or refined sensibilities.\u00a0 Like his Democratic forebears of the 19th<\/sup> and 20th<\/sup> centuries, he has shown little respect for human life.\u00a0 While a member of the Illinois State Senate, he openly supported legislation allowing abortionists to destroy viable fetuses, post partum, <\/em>who survived late term abortion procedures.\u00a0 During World War II, Nazi concentration camp guards regularly slaughtered Jewish babies.\u00a0 So how does Obama distinguish between that and the ghoulish practice envisioned by the partial birth abortion legislation he supports?\u00a0 The only difference appears to be in methodology, so exactly where does he draw the line?<\/p>\n

In the years since the Wilson administration (1913-1921), Democrats have attempted to clean up their image by adopting a mostly<\/em> non-violent approach to political hegemony.\u00a0 Realizing that votes can be purchased in blocs, they have increased their numbers through the adoption of special interest constituencies.\u00a0 As a result, the party now consists primarily of abortion rights advocates; blue collar unions; teachers unions; public employee unions; race-based minorities; radical feminists; radical environmentalists; radical youth; radical academics; the gay, lesbian, and transgender community; and trial lawyers\u2026 all of whom want something from<\/em> government.<\/p>\n

With the recent adoption of the same-sex marriage issue, it is hard to find a radical left issue or agenda that has not already been adopted by Democrats.\u00a0 When Democrats meet in early September to re-nominate Barack Obama and Joe Biden, many of the party faithful\u2026 Christian fundamentalists, Muslims, blacks, and others\u2026 will be forced to hold their noses as their party votes to add same-sex marriage to their party platform.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because, unable to raise the funds and unable to attract the same adoring crowds he drew in 2008, Obama has cynically flip-flopped on the issue because he needs the money and the votes of the gay and lesbian community.<\/p>\n

Although it seems highly improbable that any party could manage a coalition of such diverse interests\u2026 many whose interests are in direct conflict with those of other constituencies\u2026 it all works because each of the special interests are willing to subordinate some of their secondary interests so long as they can expect the same consideration on their core issues.\u00a0 As the American people go to the polls on November 6, it is critical they understand that the Democratic Party has taken full ownership of the following issues and agendas:<\/p>\n

Labor union racketeering and its ties to organized crime; forced unionization through \u201ccard check;\u201d NLRB interference in private sector economic decision-making.<\/p>\n

The monopoly power of public employee unions and the systematic plundering of state and local government treasuries.<\/p>\n

The systematic growth of high unemployment rates through promotion of uneconomic minimum wage standards.<\/p>\n

Opposition to reform and restructuring of Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamp programs.<\/p>\n

The systematic destruction of the housing sector through creation and promotion of the sub-prime mortgage market; the systematic corruption of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.<\/p>\n

The de-construction of the teaching profession and the dumbing-down of public education; opposition to popular reforms such as charter schools and voucher programs.<\/p>\n

The destruction of the black family unit; black teen pregnancy rates; the growing incarceration rates of young black males.<\/p>\n

The gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual agenda; support for same-sex marriage; repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.<\/p>\n

The illegal immigration, open borders, and sanctuary cities agenda.<\/p>\n

Late term and partial birth abortion.<\/p>\n

The exportation of weaponry to drug cartels in Mexico.<\/p>\n

The support of fraud, violence, and intimidation in our electoral process; opposition to political reforms such as photo ID laws.<\/p>\n

Class warfare and the vilification of business enterprises, large and small;<\/p>\n

The overt attack on religious liberty and Roman Catholic Church doctrine; support for Islamic expansionism throughout the Christian world.<\/p>\n

The domination of the public sector over the private sector; the use of excessive and oppressive environmental regulations as an anti-business weapon.<\/p>\n

The opposition to American energy independence; opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline; the un-economic subsidization of \u201cgreen\u201d energy projects.<\/p>\n

Support for frivolous lawsuits; opposition to tort reform.<\/p>\n

The weakening of U.S. military capability; repeal of the Clinton-era \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell\u201d policy.<\/p>\n

The abandonment of strategic international alliances and longtime allies.<\/p>\n

A bit harsh?\u00a0 Not really.\u00a0 One of the things that most distinguishes Democrats from Republicans is the extent to which Democrats attempt to mask who and what they are.\u00a0 And although they may attempt to put a kinder\/gentler face on some of their more outrageous policies, all of the above will be included in one way or another in the platform they will adopt at their national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Without mentioning Democrats by name, former Secretary of State Condi Rice, in her rousing speech before the Republican National Convention, described exactly what it is that separates Republicans from Democrats.\u00a0 She said, \u201cMy fellow Americans, ours has never been a narrative of grievance and entitlement.\u00a0 We have never believed that I am doing poorly because you are doing well.\u00a0 We have never been jealous of each others\u2019 successes.\u00a0\u00a0 No, ours has been a belief in opportunity.\u00a0 And it has been a constant struggle\u2026 to try to extend the benefits of the American dream to all.\u00a0 But that American ideal is indeed in danger today\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are both men of honor, men of the highest caliber.\u00a0 They are straightforward, honest, and trustworthy and those traits are self-evident in every one of their public appearances.\u00a0 Obama and Biden, on the other hand, never fail to come off as evil, angry, and mean-spirited.\u00a0 They are the true face of the Democratic Party and it is they who put the American ideal in jeopardy by persisting in their efforts to divide Americans along racial and economic lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
