The Democratic Party doesn’t value history. It values
political-correctness above all things. In my July 30th post, “The United
States Declares Its Independence From Thomas Jefferson- Part II,” I reported
that the Connecticut state Democratic Party had taken (Thomas) Jefferson’s and
(Andrew) Jackson’s names off of their annual fundraising dinner. I suggested
that this was just the start of a swelling anti-Jefferson, anti-Founder
movement.
(Democratic
Party dinners all around the country have been called Jefferson-Jackson dinners
in honor of the party’s alleged founders so often and for so long that they
literally got to be known as “JJ’s,” among the faithful).
Already,
Georgia, Missouri and Iowa have followed Connecticut’s lead and have made
Jefferson and Jackson personas-non-grata at their party’s biggest functions.
Five other states are currently considering banning the Sage of Monticello and
Old Hickory from their big dinners, as well. More are sure to follow.
Party
heads say that, “The two men no longer represent what it means to be a
Democrat.” While that statement is sadly true, it doesn’t get to the crux of
the matter. The Democratic Party no longer represents the Founder’s genius,
creativity, courage and grace. Moreover, it completely ignores- or openly
mocks- natural law, the foundation and sole
basis of true freedom and the idea that “all men are created equal.”
Natural law is the solitary guardian of the individual and his or her rights to
life, liberty, property (and the pursuit of happiness), the principle that made America unique among all nations in
history.
Most of the early American settlers came to
this country to escape tyrannical
government. Natural law protects the people
from tyrannical government, precisely the reason today’s Democratic Party
despises the concept.
And what it has historically meant
to be an American. (Hence, “fundamental change”).
What
the party does now stand for,
according to Iowa Democratic Chairwoman Andy McGuire, is “inclusiveness,
diversity and equality.”
This
is, like almost everything else coming out of Democrats mouths these days, demonstrably not the case. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. The party
is certainly not inclusive as regards
our Founders or of Caucasian men, for example. It clearly does not tolerate
diversity of thought, belief or opinion, especially as regards abortion or
global warming. And equality? I guess Black Lives Matter, but baby’s lives
don’t.
Think
I’m exaggerating? Of course, all lives
matter, black lives equally with whites, the young, old, men, women, etc.,
etc. But a couple high-profile members of the Democratic Party said just that
recently, speaking at different venues. They were booed, jeered and mocked by
their supporters.
They apologized
for offending many in their audiences
(by having the temerity to utter, “all
lives matter”).
It’s no
wonder the Democrat’s have only one party-approved candidate for the 2016
presidential election. It’s no wonder they don’t like debates. They don’t
exactly encourage free-flowing exchanges of views, they stifle them.
Like
Stalinists in the past, they no longer believe there is anything to debate.
