Magnificent article. Thanks!

If we truly knew the length and breadth of this list of cultural and political leaders, and the details of their personal suffering, we would all be shocked - and touched. Don't be distracted by their political labels. When they were children, these people deserved love, and they didn't get it. Can we blame them for being angry?

Some good stuff there for sure, though I have to take a hard exception with the above notion. BS! I know a lot of people, including myself that didn't get a lot of attention/affection as a kid, so of course as you grow up there are some negative affects as a result. But you have to get over it, grow up, and realize that your parents are just people too and sometimes you just don't get all you need or want. Nobody does. You don't go thru life moaning about it, acting it out, or be 'angry', maybe for a time in your life these symptoms surface and some problems as a result (I've had my share), BUT you deal with it, get over it and GROW UP!!! Stop giving them excuses!!!

Zell Miller gave them the wake up call the author of this article longed for, and the Democrats just rolled over and went back to sleep.

This is a good article but a couple things stand out which mar the author's premise. One - he mentions Ghandi and Ghandi's Judeo-Christian belief of using love to conquer and win the day. Yet, the author cannot bring himself to mention the one man who brought this together - Jesus. For all his logical points, the author cannot bring himself to state that man is not the answer but God is?

The second thing is when he mentions the leaders of his party that need to weed out the undesirables - Carter and Byrd. These two are out-of-touch with the average American much less the average Democrat. One is an ex-Klan member! The author fails to realize that these two are large parts of the problem, which leads me to my last point.

The Democrat party - to me - has always been corrupt. From the very beginning when it stood against the Republican Party and for slavery, it has portrayed itself as standing against the freedom and liberty of all men and women. As some of our "bomb throwers" would say, if they actually told the American people what they really want to do, none of them would hold any political office.

Thank you for this wonderful wonderful article...the only thing I have a disagreement about is that I think it's too late to fix the fascists. I doubt they will wake up one day and change.

I know some of these modern-day fascists, and they have absolutely nothing inside to redeem. If there will be fixing, God will have to do it.

Thanks for posting such an outstanding article. It expresses so many of my fears regarding the direction of the Democratic Party and our nation.

"We looked for truth during the impeachment and trial process and watched hopefully as the "wise men" of the party in the House and the Senate expressed "concern," then made excuses, and finally voted lock-step to defend party power. Sure they had their reasons.

The Senate vote was an accurate reflection of just why, exactly, the 17th Amendment was at best a mistake or at worst something more sinister, I suppose. Senators are supposed to vote their conscience, not pulse the polls and divine how a given vote might affect re-election. And that's exactly why Clinton likely would have been convicted otherwise.

Good article. In the "culture wars" we all find ourselves embroiled in, there is a definite soviet-style thought policing going on, which was the intent.

The "enemy" if you will, of the new totalitarians are what make the US, or any country, strong and _independent_ - family, integrity, honesty, hard work and dedication to objective standards of some sort, whether religious based or system of rational ethics. EVERY cultural issue facing this country is turned on its head in this way, whether its proponents realize it or not. Consider that one organization purportedly with the defense of the constitution in mind wields the power of various federal, state and local agencies in furtherence of their inexpressed goal of eradicating the Boy Scouts. Orwell would be proud. And nobody bats an eye, because they want to keep their job, their livelihood, etc. Don't make waves, "it's not that bad" - "maybe they'll go away" etc. Well, they aren't going away, and it is that bad and it's going to get worse, apparently. Groovy!

Ping An exceptionally well written article. Perhaps you would like to pass on with your ping lists...

I'm noticing that this was written prior to the last election in 2000. I would love to hear what he thinks this time around especially about Carter and Byrd since they weren't really on the war path back then. I would think that he would have an appreciation for what Zell Miller did at the convention.

Thanks for the ping!

This article deserves more attention than from just the FReeper Owls.

Ronald Reagan was the first major Democrat to leave the party. The more I know about the man the more I admire his insight.

Zell Miller and Ed Koch are the latest to sound the alarm.

You want to see the soul of an organization, look at the top. Everything flows from there. If the top lacks integrity, the whole gets corrupted. The top of the Democrat party is represented by McAwful and Clinton.

From Reagan's "A Time for Choosing":

Last February 19th at the University of Minnesota, Norman Thomas, six-times candidate for President on the Socialist Party ticket, said, "If Barry Goldwater became President, he would stop the advance of socialism in the United States." I think that's exactly what he will do.

But as a former Democrat, I can tell you Norman Thomas isn't the only man who has drawn this parallel to socialism with the present administration, because back in 1936, Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his Party was taking the Party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. And he walked away from his Party, and he never returned til the day he died -- because to this day, the leadership of that Party has been taking that Party, that honorable Party, down the road in the image of the labor Socialist Party of England.
