The Audacity of the Democrats - Leftists Take Over

The Audacity of the Democrats
By Rocco DiPippo
There was a pre-Lewinsky time, before moral relativism blurred America’s vision, when associating with people like Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers would have automatically excluded someone from attaining the highest office in the land. Back then, anyone with well known connections to such America-averse personalities would have been rejected by a super-majority of the electorate during primary season and almost certainly blocked by the Democratic Party before they could have gotten to within a mile of the White House. But those days — when patriotic, true liberals like Joe Lieberman were considered typical Democratic Party politicians — are gone. Now politicians like Lieberman are banished to the Party’s periphery and leftists, not liberals, like Denis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders, Jim McDermott, John Kerry, (who served in Vietnam), Jim McGovern, Patrick Leahy, Richard Durbin, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have replaced them.
Until recently in our history, a President Barack Obama would have been an impossibility. But given the political and ideological climate that exists today in America, the ascension of a leftist like Barack Obama into presidential politics makes perfect sense. Beliefs like domestic terrorist William Ayers’s and racist, anti-US preacher Jeremiah Wright’s are no longer met with utter scorn or a trip to behind the woodshed, but are embraced, promoted and defended by many Americans. Think MoveOn, International ANSWER, think hordes of young neo-communists and their indoctrinating, puppet-master Marx-spouting professors. Think Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Noam Chomsky, Ward Churchill and his acolytes. Think NYU, Columbia, The New School and Harvard. Most importantly, ponder the makeup and direction of the Democratic Party leadership. Like Barack Obama and his radical friends, it is appallingly far Left.
Ideological descendants of Marx and Rousseau now lead the Democratic Party and they have turned it into a disloyal opposition to an increasingly accommodating GOP. They have molded the Party into a force working stridently and unashamedly against a Commander in Chief during wartime. They have made it a den of treachery devoted to American defeat in Iraq. They preside over an institution advised and influenced by moneyed, non-governmental groups and individuals with unquestionably anti-US agendas who help make the Party a pseudo-intellectual sinkhole filled with perverse, tried-and-failed ideas repulsive to the majority of Americans. Those ideas are shaped into agendas which are then forced on the public by an activist leftwing judiciary and by a major media and arts consortium shot through with utter disrespect, indeed contempt, for traditional American values, religions and institutions…

Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
A few years ago I would not have believed that someone with as little substance and experience as Obama could be so close to winning the highest office in the land. I only hope there are enough thinking voters out there to stop him.

There are some excellent points made that should be repeated again.
Especially towards the end where the Author puts the Democrat’s Initiative in a nutshell of 13 points…it’s golden.
I copied, saved it and others are going receive it or hear it from my lips
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:56 pmGreat article. Dead on.
“Now, a master psychological fisherman, Barack Obama, dangles a bait of salvation. As a highly experienced practitioner of Saul Alinsky’s radical arts, he is perfect for the job…..”
I’m glad to finally see people recognizing Alinsky’s model for radical “change” in Obama’s politics.
Here’s a good article on how the Democrats were conquered by ‘leftists’:

June 22nd, 2008 at 5:33 pmBarry’s been a researcher (of who knows what), a “community organizer” what ever the hell that is, a lecturer, and a state senator (8 yrs), US senate 2-3 yrs, most of which time he has spent trying to be the new POTUS.
That fucker has a flimsy resume by my estimation; let’s elect Sheila Jackson Lee instead.
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:47 pmWOW! What a great article. I haven’t read a better summarization of the American left.
The author also addresses my biggest bitch with the Bush administration. You simply can not allow leftists to propagate their lies and allow them to go unchallenged.
Leftists hate to be challenged. Because at their core, they’re are devoid of good ideas, character and morality.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:07 pmWhile my son was in Iraq, the leader of the house and senate, senior d’rats, supported and emboldened our enemy. I wonder if the sniper that shot my son would have been so bold to act if he felt it was a useless battle.
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:00 pmI will never forgive them. I will never forget this. I will look for a time and place of my choosing to respond properly.

June 23rd, 2008 at 6:46 amThis article makes clear, that a complete take-over of the Democrat party has been achieved by leftists, funded by leftists, and lifted up by a leftist media. Their aim is not just power, but to remake America into their leftiest ideology. We would no longer be free.
It is time the Republican party attacked and exposed these leftists as the enemy that they are and stop trying to “reach across the aisle”. For God’s sake, have we not learned that appeasement doesn’t work?
You’re right on Goodbye Natalie, we have to not only counter all their disinformation, but like our Iraq strategy, we have to go offensive and take the fight to these leftists until only their smoldering, rotting carcasses and ideologies are left for the carion eaters.

Problem is that many of the Republicans are members of the ‘old boys network’ and are not fundamentally different in their belief of a large important government.
They do not want to upset the apple cart they feed from also.
It is WE THE PEOPLE that have to make the difference. That has always has been the case, but while we trusted them to do what was best for us, they chose to do what is best for them.
I do side with the Republicans now; for the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:11 amYes, I agree it is WE THE PEOPLE that need to make the difference. And I am sure that a lot of people like me, are giving financially to conservative think tanks, military organizations, and disabled veterans; are reading and studying to become intimately familiar with the issues of our day and debating those issues when given the opportunity; and are emailing, faxing, and phoning politicians. But I am also sure that a lot of people like me feel inside that all that is not enough as we watch our society eroding away. What we need is organized leadership. There’s a lot of patriotic organizations out there, each doing their separate mission. It seems to me the human resources are there-it just requires strong and excellent leadership to connect these dots. bring clarity to our situation, and organize into a unified command with a unified goal. Now that’s the kind of change I can believe in
