Recent developments, especially in CRT and Transgender activism, and now the Roe leak, made me feel it's time to revisit some thoughts.

I've found a publication that has documented several talking points that today's Democrats simply can't STAND, as they are either anti-choice, anti woman, anti minority, or might contribute to inequality, or other such. Apparently, Trump or people who refuse to bash Trump have espoused these thoughts. Here are just a few, and I'll share a link at the end of my post to let you fact check me.

1) ..."the adoption of new programs and new spending without new thinking [is bad]"
2) "...to take power away from entrenched bureaucracies and narrow interests in Washington and put it back in the hands of ordinary people"
3) "We need to rebuild America by abandoning the something-for-nothing ethic"
4) "Only a thriving economy, a strong manufacturing base, and growth in creative new enterprise can generate the resources to meet the nation's pressing human and social needs"
5) "Above all .... restoring the basic American values that built this country and will always make it great: personal responsibility, individual liberty, tolerance, faith, family and hard work."
6) "will expand opportunity, insist upon greater individual responsibility in return, restore community, and ensure national security in a profoundly new era."
7) "Addressing the deficit requires fair and shared sacrifice of all Americans for the common good."
8) "Governments don't raise children, people do. People who bring children into this world have a responsibility to care for them and give them values"
9) "The private sector is the engine of our economy and the main source of national wealth."
10) "Rather than throw money at obsolete programs, we will eliminate unnecessary layers of management, cut administrative costs, give people more choices in the service they get, and empower THEM to make those choices."

I could proceed to find another 20 or so, but these 10 make my point well.

All quotes taken from the Democrat official platform publication from 1992. Ellipses or [comments] only inserted to avoid saying "Democrat" and spoiling the reveal. Don't tell me the Democrats have not moved RADICALLY to the left lately. OK, I suppose it's arguable that Democrats have always been leftists, but were formally better deceivers......

Very well written. The change of the Democratic Party to the negative FOR America is evident as you have pointed out. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for posting.

On a scale of zero to ten, zero being total leftist and worth absolutely zero, ten being squeakingly conservative, JFK and the good democrats were in the 3.x-5.x range. Todays democrats are often absolute worthless zeroes and if not a zero then in the 0.x-2 range.

Ah, the good old days when you voted for democrats sometimes because some were good, decent people and the right choice. Not the trash they've all become now. I take it back, there's probably one good, decent democrat every several thousand or so. If only they were the only ones.
