DEMOCRATS ARE BLINDSIDED BY THE TRUTH
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE LEFTWING LIBERAL WORLDVIEW & POLITICAL AGENDA VERSUS THE NATIONAL INTERESTS & SECURITY OF THE U.S.A.:
THE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY OF AMERICAN LIBERALISM COMPARED & CONTRASTED WITH TRUE DEVOTION & LOYALTY TO
THE AMERICAN NATION -- THE AMERICAN POLITICAL LEFT & ITS FIXATION ON AN AGENDA OF UNDERMINING &
EVENTUALLY DESTROYING THE TRADITIONAL PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC WAS FOUNDED & HAS
FLOURISHED -- THE FLAGRANT SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE MOTIVATIONS & THOUGHT PROCESSES OF LIBERAL
DEMOCRATS & THOSE OF AMERICA'S FOREIGN ENEMIES
FULL STORY:
The past week was extremely rough on American Leftists. Public spotlights
have been shining brightly on them from various angles. The result is that
they are no longer able to hide behind their innocuous facades. The reality
of their political ideology is suddenly being seen in its stark ugliness. This is not
how things are supposed to work, and they do not like it.
In recent years, every time Liberals perceive that their “patriotism” is
being called into question, they caterwaul as the supposed victims of the
most heinous of personal attacks. Their indignation often borders on the
hysterical, to the point that far too many Conservatives have actually been
intimidated at the prospect of even sounding skeptical of the inherent and
universally recognized “loyalty” to country among Leftists.
Yet, up to the United Nations General Assembly podium strode Iranian
“President” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last week, denouncing American foreign policy and
America’s President. A day later, that same forum witnessed Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez, similarly attacking U.S. President George Bush, to the point of
calling him “The Devil.” To the dismay of the political Left, the general public
readily recognizes that these attacks from foreign leaders precisely echo
the “patriotism” regularly being spewed by Liberal Democrats.
Despite the desperate attempts of Democratic Party leaders to distance themselves
from the UN spectacle, the parallels between leading Liberal Democrats' words, and, more
importantly, their motives, as compared to those of the two hostile foreign
leaders, have become irrefutable. The cover of Democratic Party politicians has been blown.
If the Liberal Democrats can claim, by virtue of their subversive and
consistently anti-American rhetoric of the past several years, that such
behavior is indeed “patriotic,” then so must it be concluded that
Ahmadinejad and Chavez are also great American “patriots.”
Yet, Liberalism has never been about “patriotism.” Nor has it been devoted to
the betterment of the nation, in terms of the traditional principles on
which the nation was founded and has flourished. Rather, Liberalism has remained
fixated on an agenda of undermining and ultimately destroying such things,
always hiding behind the cloak of the inherent nobility of “dissent,” while
claiming to honorably represent the viewpoint of the “loyal opposition.”
Unfortunately for the Left, the venomous ranting of Chavez and Ahmadinejad
has removed any phony veneer of “virtue” from its contention that the
condemnation of every American effort to preserve its culture, its
interests, and its future represents devotion to the country. The goals of
those two dictatorial thugs, who barely stopped short of pounding their
shoes (or possibly their sandals) on the UN podium, could not by any stretch
of the imagination be construed as a roadmap to a brighter American future.
Representative Charles Rangell of New York, along with House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi (Democrat -California), led the Democrats' “damage control” efforts, which thus far
have only amounted to tepid and selective criticism of the foreign leaders’
comments. But no amount of bland disagreement can erase the similarities
that an informed public can draw between the positions of hostile foreign
dictators to the current leadership of the Democratic Party. The harsh truths revealed at
the UN have severely undermined the charade. And Democrats are scrambling in
their efforts to minimize the detrimental effects on their political battle
plan.
Meanwhile, as a result of that now infamous interview with Fox reporter
Chris Wallace, former President Bill Clinton further exemplified the ugly
reality of the American Left.
During his two terms in office, Clinton did indeed diligently pursue those
he considered his enemies, though their ranks were almost entirely comprised
of Conservative and Christian political organizations, which he hounded with
the full power of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service.
Moreover, America should never forget the significance of those fourteen
hundred FBI files, illegally brought to the White House no doubt to
neutralize a “dangerous” foe (albeit a political one). All the while, the
gathering storm clouds of militant Islam were virtually ignored, since
forcefully dealing with them did not promise to yield any tangible political
benefits.
Honest individuals, especially those who have spent their entire lives being
schooled in the rigors of public life, rarely react in the hysterical manner
Bill Clinton displayed, regardless of the speciousness of any accusations
against them. The former President’s minions, including his wife, can
attempt to spin the situation in any way they want. Yet, Bill Clinton still
looked very guilty. And, despite their relentless efforts to put a good face
on the spectacle, everyone knows why he looked so guilty.
Most distressing to the political Left during this past week’s events is that Chavez,
Ahmadinejad, and Clinton allowed America a glimpse into the soul of modern
Liberalism. All of the sanitizing efforts on the part of the mainstream media -- i.e., the Liberal Leftist media --
cannot revise those images or the words that accompanied them.
Nor can the commonality of their motivations ever after be erased from
public awareness. It was not a pretty sight.

legislatures and for the United States Congress. His articles, which appear regularly in The Progressive Conservative, U.S.A.,

Democratic Party. During the early and middle 1990s, Adamo was Editor of the Wyoming Christian Coalition's official news organ,
The Wyoming Christian.
