The "Left" as it is in the Democratic Party is right now
incompetent in almost every way. You
need only look at the government in our nation’s capital to see it. How Marion Berry remains in office all these
years truly boggles the mind. The bumbling of Reid and Pelosi shows just what
"career politicians" have done
for us. In regards to Obama, his
greatest mistake was repeating many of his predecessor's policies. Obama's other big mistake was health care
reform, while good intentioned was a waste of political capital that could have
been better used to address the systemic problems that plague us. To the dismay
of Obama's most fervent supporters in the last election has been the most
startling revelation regarding the President:
that he is at his core just another politician. It is funny that many of
the same Democrats who rail against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan today were
among the ones that voted for it yesterday.
It is sad that in the ascension of Reagan the term "liberal"
became a dirty word, even sadder when you compare classical Liberalism and Marxism
and find how much different they really are. Want more fun with Democrats? Google "C Jack Ellis" and have a
big laugh. You cannot govern or negotiate from a position of weakness, yet the Left keeps on trying.
The "Right" as it stands can be summed up in one word: insane.
The undercurrent has always been around always waiting to flourish. We last saw this manifested in the 1950's
with the "Red Scare" led by men like Joseph McCarthy under the
precept of "Un-American Activites" where people tried making other
forms of speech and thought illegal. In 50's America the disease was fear as it
is today. Back then it was fear of the
Soviets, today it is fear of foreigners, science and even fear of education and
critical thinking. The Right has
declared open war on society itself and the institutions that maintain it by
engaging in class warfare and divisive rhetoric. Somehow they have been lead to believe that
America was founded solely as a "Christian Nation" by people who valued
religious freedom after many of them came here fleeing religious persecution. They have also been lead to believe that
America was founded on the concept on unregulated capitalism when the words
"capitalism" and "free market" cannot be found in the
Constitution that they revere almost as much as the Bible. Today the concepts
of compromise and moderation make as much sense as the do to a toddler with a
temper tantrum. The greatest hypocrisy of the Right today is that they care
more about things that exist on paper like the Constitution and corporations
than they do flesh and blood human beings.
They care more for a collection of cells in a woman's womb than the
child it may eventually become. Nothing
today can conjure their wrath quite like showing them their own hypocrisy.
The disintegration of the right has also hurt the left in unexpected
ways. The debate between the two has
been reduced to useless partisan warfare where no one really gets ahead. It has led to the deadlock in our government
that paralyzed the entire system. Today
the promises made to the lobbyists of yesterday are more critical than the
needs of Americans today.
