Why are liberals going after voters?
The liberals in control of the Democrat Party are completely insane at the moment, and the insults are flying everywhere. I won’t catalog them here, as everyone knows by now, but I will comment that watching this metamorphosis is shocking and terrifying, but about as interesting as anything I’ve seen in 25 years of life, politically speaking.
Recently, the tea party movement has ignited again, and with it the ichor and brutality of liberalism is scared and enraged by the Right using their own tactics against them. For a century, Nixon’s silent majority was the reality, and the liberals made all the racket in public. Party heads, notably the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Head, have again flown off the handle:
“These are extremist elements pulling together, distinct vocal minorities that frankly don’t believe in this country,” Tate said. “They don’t want to see more people have access to quality affordable health care; they don’t want clean air and water. They fundamentally don’t understand how the American government, economy and capitalism work.”
Wow. You’re really going to say we don’t understand capitalism? Hillary Clinton, the current SecState, once said that the most destructive force in America today is “the unfettered free market”. Obama said “spreading the wealth” was something good, etc., etc., etc.
Anyhow, the veracity of these statements isn’t the issue. The issue is that union members, full-bore Dems, and all manner of people actually showed up at last weekend’s rally, which totaled around 8,000 people, according to estimates. Calling them all names and marginalizing these people is not sound political strategy. Moreover, its the easiest path to losing power in the government as quickly as possible.
Polls are very clear that the tea party movement has sympathy in the general public, and derisive coverage of them has only increased the fervor. Independents’ support and attendance at the rallies has increased over time just as Obama’s numbers trend very negatively, and drop with each passing day. How on Earth are the liberals missing this? As a conservative, I’m delighted to watch the Democrats essentially demand to be removed from office by pressing forward on Cap and Trade and Health Care Takeover 2009. Is it a lack of self-control? I’m largely speechless.
The main goal of any political movement is to gain and maintain power. Whether its an abortion lobby, a human rights group, the NRA, or the Green Party, grabbing influence and holding on to it is the only real achievement worth noting. In that light, why are the Dems so gleefully alienating as many people as possible by throwing the race card all over Hell, and directing the anger of decades at anyone scared or angry about monstrous deficit spending or government takeovers?
I wish I had an answer, other than to say that liberals are scared to death by conservative activism, and their only response is anger and rage. At any rate, I cannot imagine a surer path to losing power than this one. Its so bad, I feel compelled to tell the liberals to calm it down. Its like seeing a plane crash hours before the wheels leave the tarmac.
Cleared for takeoff!
