What happened to the Democrats?

[spiritus_persona]

Didn't the Democrats used to be an American party?  When was the exact date that they turned into a queerosexual communist party?

I think the Trueman years were about the last gasp for the Democrat party. During the late fifties and into the sixties they went from representing the American worker to becoming the party of civil rights. The American workers at least helped themselves and brought money into the party. We see the results is of representing minority civil rights. In either case the parties motives were always self serving. They bought votes for their people at the taxpayers expense.

Dems are NOT dems anymore- they are evil. GOP is not better, b/c they were not strong, they got infiltrated with the leftist agenda, now, one cannot even tell the difference.   WHERE IS MY AMERICA? 

[Dr. Dan]

The democrats of back then are republicans today

And the democrats of today are, well, socialist/communists

My Mother and Grandmother are lifelong Dems... and they are baffled by the party's recent changes.  They cringe at the idea of Obama as president... and my grandmother confided that she'd vote for Mccaine if it comes to this.

They've been radicalized by the both the actions as well as the inactions of their Republican opposites.

I recall that shortly after Operation Shock and Awe took place, I was in a meeting with a staunch Southern Baptist Republican earning millions of dollars.

The news was centered around two items:  First, the inability of a growing number of Americans to afford health care, and how any major medical need, such as cancer or some other catastrophic illness, would bankrupt each affected family who were not extremely wealthy, and secondly, the soaring amounts in the billions and billions of dollars Bush was charging to the American Treasury to finance two wars with no end in sight, all the while completely ignoring any and all domestic policies which might serve to solve a growing "perfect storm" of social and economic problems settling across the domestic U.S. populace.

Realizing that Bush's schemes to print money endlessly, to finance endless war with no goals, and with no possible victories, would completely bankrupt America and reduce the citizenry to a standard of living akin to Kinshasha, Zaire, I carelessly remarked to my Republican Conservative Baptist acquaintance that "This is going to result in American being forced to demand socialism, because all but the elite few will be homeless, unable to afford any basic amenity, bereft of health care, higher education, and housing; all while those with wealth continue to close down all production and send our jobs overseas!"

My acquaintance literally laughed in my face; as if he'd never heard such a ridiculous idea in his entire life...that I or anyone else couldn't see the sheer genius of George W. Bush, political master genius, Commander in Chief of abilities far exceeding those of General Patton, and economic genius, was beyond his mental capacities to accept, and at that point our meeting was for all practical intent finished; as he had "written me off".

This is how one great country after another succumbs to authoritarian socialism...inept leadership obsessed with their own selfishness who are more than happy to see the whole world destroyed if they can obtain ever greater wealth than they already have.

With Republicans like Bush & McCain, you don't fear Socialism, because the GOP is nothing if not Socialist.
With Democrats like Pelosi and Clinton and Obama, you don't fear a Communist takeover, because they already are Communists.

Correct, Dr. Dan

My acquaintance literally laughed in my face;

hhahaha, I think they reason why they laugh at you.. is that you include these conspiracies along with your arguments.  Drop the conspiracy talk.. and people will listen to you.

You can stuff it.

What you think you know won't even fit in a thimble.

You're just one of those types that ride around after 9/11 with "W" bumper stickers and "made in China" American flags waving off of your SUV antenna.

I tell it as I know it to be...you are free to scoff all you want.

You're not intelligent enough to p*ss me off; that I can assure you.

Conspiracies do happen. The holocaust was a conspiracy to wipe out the Jewish people, just as is the current conspiracy by the so-called "moderate" Muslims into deceiving Jews they want peace.

The fact is the current Republicrats running this country are purposely running it into the ground, while gullible Americans keep telling themselves "the government loves me, so I should just wave my miniature American flag like a good subject of the state"

I find it sort of funny, that back in the 40's it was the democrats who wanted to get into the war, and the right was taking the isolationist view, but today it is the opposite.
