He is correct, but the cause goes back before the modern Democrat party... whether one defines that as the perverted progressive policies of Wilson or the failed New Deal of FDR (who sadly was somewhat boosted by Hoover’s centralizing tendencies) or LBJ’s atrocious “Great Society” welfare state or BO’s drooling fascism of crony capitalism and a war on Christianity....
The Democrats (and too many Republicans) desire to destroy Liberty is a philosophical outgrowth of the idea that man is unaccountable to a higher standard or Creator.
Whether you want to point to Immanuel Kant or Nietzsche or Sartre or some other thinkers, so much of our pains today result from an age old problem of human beings wanting to be a law unto themselves.
The Garden of Eden, man.
