Question Their Patriotism
There are no doubt a good many old-school (pre-McGovern liberal) Democrats who will reluctantly vote for their party’s candidate in the upcoming presidential election, but there are also many old-school Democrats who have by now become Republicans or independents.
Today’s Democrat party is the party of Moveon.org, the Daily Kos, George Soros, Michael Moore, George Clooney et al. The new Democrat Party and its presumptive presidential candidate, is “progressive” – they are far left. Many are openly sympathetic to some strain of Marxist ideology (just ask a random Democrat college professor). Some are unapologetically pro-Communist in their beliefs (“it’s a good idea in theory”).
I don’t make this claim as a “red-baiting” McCarthyite. I make it based on sound bites from prominent Democrats heard daily and from the actual talking points of people that describe their party affiliation as "Democrats" (not just "independent").
Some of these neo-comm Democrats qualify their hatred for their own country with bogus statements to the effect that they merely want to see it “changed.” In essence they are saying, “I love my country…I just want it to be a different country.”
If one talks to a fervent Democrat today, one finds themselves waiting long to hear any positive statements about the U.S, its history, or its people. (Of Course Michelle Obama is finally “proud of [her] country” because some of its citizens may vote for her rich socialist husband). No, we're just plain "mean, oppressive, imperialistic, selfish, materialistic, and violent war-mongers" (Mao Zedong couldn't have said it better). Forget about the historically unprecedented level of prosperity, the diverse dynamism and innovation, or any other trait the U.S. may have that one might point out as positive.
The neo-comm Democrat is an internationalist (at a time in history when a passionate nationalism is reemerging in some of the more unsavory countries of the world). They truly hope for a world governed in the socialist model on a worldwide scale (hence their affection for the corrupt U.N. Bureaucracy). Freedom to them only means the freedom to steal as much as possible from productive sources and the “freedom” to muzzle those who still hold traditional views regarding the nature of a free society and economy.
The leftists today – many using America’s 5th column Democrat Party -- want a “change,” but their change is no change at all. It’s a return to monarchy – a king and court (bureaucracy) that will impose the “order” they so crave in a world that is out of their personal control.
They promise they will love the U.S. when it ceases to be the U.S. and they fancy such a stance to be a type of patriotism.
Don’t just “question [these people’s] patriotism.” Honestly acknowledge that they have no such feelings.
