TURMOIL AMONG DEMOCRATS REFLECTS LIBERAL DYSFUNCTION
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY & CONTEMPORARY LIBERALISM: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A PARTY
MORALLY & PHILOSOPHICALLY ROTTING FROM WITHIN -- THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A PARTY WHICH HAS, FOR SO
MANY YEARS, EXPLOITED THE DIVISIONS IN AMERICAN SOCIETY ALONG CLASS, GENDER, ETHNIC, & RACIAL LINES -- THE
STAGE SET FOR HUGE FRACTURES IN AND DEFECTIONS FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY & ITS EVENTUAL DEATH AS A
MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY IN THE U.S.A. -- DEMOCRATIC PARTY TROUBLES AS MANIFESTATIONS OF THE UGLY REALITY
OF MODERN AMERICAN LEFTWING LIBERALISM
FULL STORY:
Rush Limbaugh has been having a great time lately, fanning the flames of discord and confusion among the Democrats.
But the ability to destabilize the Democratic Party is hardly a dangerous manifestation of omnipotence on the part of the
talk radio giant. Such turmoil could not be foisted on the Democratic Party from without, were it not already morally and
philosophically rotting from within.
Consider all of the different fronts on which the Democratic Party lately finds itself in a total shambles. Along with the
day to day revelations of the barnyard morality pervading the entire top echelon of the New York State government,
every new bit of news coming from the Democratic presidential race suggests an eventual crack up of the Party, no
matter who wins the nomination.
In such a tainted atmosphere, it is highly unlikely that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Democrat - California) will gain
much traction to define the debate during this election cycle with her sanctimonious rants about a Republican “culture of
corruption.” And more of the same is likely to come.
The latest controversy du jour is that of Barack Obama and his “former” pastor Jeremiah Wright, who has openly
preached racism and hatred for America throughout his career. Yet, Obama initially claimed that, while remaining a member
of Wright’s church for two decades, he had not been in the pews to hear such venomous sermonizing.
In essence, he offered his own version of the “I smoked it but did not inhale” defense. Upon facing irrefutable evidence to
the contrary, he has since resorted to the “inappropriate relationship” posture. His timing for this strategy is particularly
bad, considering the candidate against whom he is competing for the Democratic Party's nomination as its candidate for
President.
Moreover, were his claims of innocence even remotely believable, it would not speak well of the seemingly bright Illinois
Senator to be so oblivious after twenty years to this malignant elephant in the room. Perhaps, having been married only
fifteen years, he has not yet been made aware of the similarly angry anti-American sentiments held by his wife Michelle.
And, in light of all this, one has to seriously wonder, as a matter of national security, just how long it might take him to
notice the threats posed to this country by the Islamists.
Interestingly, he seems to exhibit a slightly deeper degree of discernment, and a markedly faster reaction time, when
assessing any comment from his political opposition that contains even the slightest suggestion of disparagement
against his own ethnicity or culture. In this, he bears far more commonality than contrast with Hillary Clinton, whose “steel trap”
memory can suddenly degenerate to “I do not recall,” the instant the topic shifts to any of the innumerable Clinton
scandals.
It is extremely telling that, with all of the critical and potentially dangerous issues facing the nation, the bulk of energy
between these two Democratic campaigns has degenerated to a series of estrogen/melanin wars. Nevertheless, in its
current condition, America can glimpse the reality of Liberalism.
Mrs. Bill Clinton has her own set of problems. While Obama has clearly benefited at times from the “race/victim” card,
which he invokes at any affront so slight as even the mention of his middle name, Hillary Clinton is no less a caricature
of every Liberal Feminist absurdity with her strategically timed crying episodes and reflections on the alleged
difficulties facing her as a candidate strictly, we are told, because she is a woman.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party machinery, behind closed doors, is no doubt panicking over the fact that, according
to its own thinking, Americans may not rally around either candidate, based on their competing minority subgroup
statuses, in numbers sufficient to garner even a delegate majority within the party, let along a general election win. And,
having exploited the divisions in society for so many years along class, gender, and racial lines, the Democrats have set
the stage for huge fractures and defections, no matter who is selected as the nominee in the end.
America might indeed face widespread race riots, in the event that the nomination is snatched from Obama’s grasp. But
even that may pale in comparison with the dire spectacle that America may witness if Hillary loses, and her sputtering
Feminist minions react with comparable outrage, many of them having reached the stage in life where bra burning could
be construed as a “hate crime.”
Having proven himself to be the quintessential angry black separatist in sheep’s clothing, or at least someone who
comfortably remains under the tutelage of that variety of “spiritual headship,” Obama is no more likely to appeal to a
mainstream America that wants race to take its proper role in distant “back seat” behind character, than can Hillary
distance herself from the sputtering ranks of embittered Feminists.
In simple terms, this election has become extremely difficult for the Democrats to navigate. As a result of the candidates
who have risen to the forefront, it is perhaps the first campaign where the different Liberal subgroups are driving their
respective races on a truly ideological basis.
In the past, the Democratic political sect has resulted from a conglomeration of disparate special interest groups, each of
which is ultimately indifferent to the others, but all of whom can collectively benefit from the Democratic Party’s
successes.
It was in their common interests to further their agenda by thwarting those stodgy Conservatives, who continually resist
attempts to reinvent society’s morality and traditions according to the latest Liberal Leftist fads. But, of even greater
importance is that, with Liberals in power, their various special interests, no matter how dissimilar in philosophy, can
count on access to the public trough.
Thus, a totally mixed bag of anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-capitalist causes can, in normal years, rally to the Party
candidate and expect a continuation of their lifeline of federal funding. But, with the ascendancy of pseudo-Feminist
extraordinaire Hillary Clinton, and African-American separatist sympathizer/national uniter Barack Obama, Liberals are
being forced into camps that overlap extensively when it comes to their usage of public funding, but contrast severely on
their emotional appeal to the different “victim” groups.
On display here is the ugly reality of Liberalism that, for too long, has remained hidden from real America, much like the
appalling varieties of vermin which are present even in the best manicured gardens, but go unnoticed until somebody
turns over a rock.
Ultimately, the similarities between the Liberalism of Clinton and the Liberalism of Obama, as reflected in their personal
lives as well as their public lives, far outweigh any differences. And it is this grim truth about both potential Democratic
nominees that should seriously concern America.
Were either compelled to face a real Conservative in the general election, this race would already be over.
