David Horowitz: Democratic Party Will Disappear From the Political Scene
NewsMax ^ | 11/19/2010 | Jim Meyers, with Kathleen Walter

Posted on 11/19/2010 10:46:29 AM PST by Qbert

Conservative activist and best-selling author David Horowitz tells Newsmax that the Democratic Party has been “seized by a religious cult” of leftists and will go the way of the 19th-century Whig Party — disappearing from the political scene.

He also declares that giving terrorist suspects the rights of American citizens and trying them in civilian courts is “a form of national suicide” and says the tea party movement is a “huge development” that will keep Republicans true to conservative principles.

[Snip]

Asked about the political problems the Democrats face in the wake of their poor showing in the midterm elections, Horowitz declares: “The Democratic Party has been seized by a religious cult. I like to call it neocommunism. You can call them socialists. You can call them leftists. Because of their religion, they believe that Obamacare, for example, is the door to a brave new world, to a future where everybody’s going to be equal and taken care of.

[Snip]

“This is not the old Democratic Party. These people see themselves as visionaries, as an army of the saints marching through the electoral process opposed by the army of Satan, which is us. And nothing is going to cure that mentality except a colossal drubbing at the polls. They’re going to have to lose for years to change.”

[Snip]

Asked whether the far-left Democrats have alienated Americans to the point that they will go the way of the Whig Party and simply disappear from the political scene, Horowitz responds: “Yes. [But] it’s a long process.”

I wish he were right, but evil doesn’t disappear, it just changes tactics.

I suspect Horowitz is correct. The Democrats won't truly DISAPPEAR, but they will be marginalized as the New Communist Party.

The Republicans (because Establishment Republicans are moving left) will take the place of the Democrats.

And the Tea Party will be the New Republican party.

I see these Establishment Pundits and Politicians paying their now-obligatory lip-service to the Tea Party Movement, and I’m forced to wonder if they realize just how *conditional* is their much-ballyhooed “Republican Mandate” really is......

We’ve heard this sort of thing before and it’s BS. The Republicans will screw up again and the Dems will come riding to the rescue. The Repubs have no killer instinct and no real animus to those who wrecked our country. It’s just politics to them. Nothing personal. As for the Tea Party, well, we can only hope.

Mr Horowitz, you are foolish. How many times have either Party been declared dead, and going the way of the whigs. The money in either Party alone will prevent them from going away. Check your history.

Well I doubt that will occur.
The Rat party is too well entrenched and populated by an abundance of leftist cretins and morons. They can be marginalized however but look how many ‘Rat incumbent senators could not be voted out this bad economic cycle and Bam not up for the vote.

a future where everybody’s going to be equal and taken care of.

Nah, there will always be parasites who want the unearned, the undeserved, and something for nothing. And there will always be altruistic prey, who are willing to be looted and enslaved because of their guilt.

Doesn’t take much, eh Laz?

In your defense, I, too, had to shower.

Yeah the Demoncats are really struggling in Mass. these days:

Gov, Lt Gov, Auditor, Treasurer, Sec of State—all Ds
US Senate—1 of 2 is D (at least till Vicky Kennedy runs in ‘12)
House— 10 seats, all Ds (soon to lose 1 seat)
Majority of state house, state Senate—D (though some gains
by GOP)

Looks like the Ds will soon be extinct here, right?

One should learn from one's enemies. Hubris and complacency go before the fall...A brand new copy of James Carville's "40 More Years" is now available at Amazon for just $0.01.

If the Republicans don't get the job done, they'll be out just a fast. And, the Democrats aren't going away for too long. Eventually, they'll shift their platform just enough to keep the most odious stances while seeming palatable.

For years now I have been saying that the Democrat party is destined to become the 21st century Whig party! Glad to know David is on board!

He’s wrong on this one. The “Democrat” Party, aka, the PROGRESSIVES/SOCIALISTS is nothing more than a group of Unions, Free-riders, and mis-guided “Yewts” who just think the world owes them a living, and OTHER PEOPLE should be FORCED (via Taxation), to transfer their earnings and/or wealth to them. They will NEVER go away, so long as the politicians keep doing their bidding, and in turn get their votes.

Reminds me of The Devil’s Advocate.

The GOP is as much a part of the ruling elite class in this nation as the ‘rats are. Thinking of the GOP as anything other than part of the problem is foolish at this point. 2000-2006 should have cured us of any delusions that the GOP represents conservative values.
