Where Democrats Fail
21st July 2018
The preamble to the United States Constitution:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
How do Democrats stack up?
… to form a more perfect Union…
Secession is a Democrat idea. The secessions that triggered the Civil War were Democrats reacting to the election of the first Republican President. The current talk of secession in Blue States like Vermont and California in reaction to another Republican President is merely the latest step in that Walk of Shame. Republicans accept the results of elections, even when there is hanky-panky going on; Democrats refuse to accept any election where they lose. When Lyndon Johnson and Richard Daley stole the Presidential election for John F. Kennedy in 1960, Richard Nixon was advised to challenge it in the courts; he refused. When Florida was certified for George W. Bush in 2000, the first stop Al Gore made was the courts. Donald Trump’s win in the Presidential election of 2016 may not have been technically a landslide, but it was far from close; nevertheless, the people who Just Can’t Believe That Dick Won have been doing their best ever since to overturn the result. (Democrats turn out to be Not Very Democratic. Ask Bernie Sanders.)
… establish Justice …
The essential characteristic of ‘social justice’ is that it isn’t justice, it’s a perversion of outcomes to favor a particular political side that is called ‘justice’ because distorting the language (a) makes them feel good about themselves and (b) is a well-polished tool in their political playbook. Giving special privileges to black people just because of their skin color isn’t justice, it’s racism straight up. Refusing to enforce the law against illegal immigrants isn’t justice. Forcing people to do things contrary to their religious beliefs to serve a political agenda isn’t justice. Every political machine in every big city that had one (and has one) was and is run by Democrats — just look at Chicago, Detroit, and New York.
… insure domestic Tranquility …
Look for the riots and civil disturbances in America today (Hell, since forever) and they’re caused by Democrats. There is no civil disturbance in this country that doesn’t have Democrats behind it. Everybody knows this but nobody dares to say it because the mob will come for them. Potential mob violence is such a cornerstone of Democrat ideology that elected Democrat officials, like Maxine Waters, can sound the call in public and suffer no serious consequences.
… provide for the common defence …
Name a year since 1945 that the Democrats haven’t called for cuts in military spending so that they can spend more on Free Stuff for their canaille.
… promote the general Welfare …
The Democrats are the poster child for the classic Special Interest. The Democrat ‘base’ is full of special interest groups who don’t care if the rest of the nation is screwed just so they benefit. Black people. Sexual perverts. Enviro-Nazis. ‘Animal rights’ activists. ‘Renewable energy’ lobbyists. Trial lawyers. Union officials. Government employees. This that and whatever kind of ‘activists’. You name it, and if they want to fuck everybody else for their own benefit, they’ll find a home in the Democrat party.
.. secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity …
The core belief of the Democrat party is ‘force everybody to do it our way’. Every policy promoted or piece of legislation introduced by a Democrat is designed to reduce individual liberty. No, you can’t sell what you want; you have to sell what we allow you to sell. No, you can’t refuse to sell particular products or to particular people; you have to sell what we tell you to sell to the people we tell you to. No, you can’t charge what you want to rent that apartment; you have to charge what we tell you to charge. No, you can’t start a business without jumping through the hoops we require and paying us for the privilege. No, you can’t keep the money you earn, you can only keep what we allow you to, and you’d by-God better thank us for the privilege.
Democrats fail to act according to the Constitution in almost every respect. They are, at their core, as part of their essential nature, un-American.
