The Democratic Party is a group of insufferable children, spoiled and entitled, throwing a constant series of temper tantrums without interruption. They are the brat kid in your child’s class, constantly indulged with hugs and reassurances that they’re “special” and important, when what they really need is a butt-reddening series of spanks that make it difficult to sit for a week. That won’t happen because leftists don’t have any adults on their side.
Well, maybe that’s overstating it a bit – they have adults, but they aren’t interested in acting like one. They are more interested in an agenda über alles approach to life, written in its original German because, well, that’s who they are.
Along those lines, the Democrat Party has allowed their fringe to run wild and destroy lives. Now they not only control the party, they are the party.
Conventional wisdom in the media is that “The Republican Party has moved so far to the right…” This is never backed up with any facts, just stated as if it were true because it was said. But if you think about it, the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan is pretty much the Republican Party of today in almost every way except tone.
The attitude of the rhetoric has absolutely gotten more pointed; harsher. For years, when Republicans were attacked by the fascistic left, they took an almost apologetic approach. Only Reagan could turn a friendly sounding rebuttal into a smiling stinger that left a mark, other Republicans just cowered, wanting to be liked by the people beating them.
Donald Trump changed that. Hit him and he’d hit back, sometimes with a brutal observation or takedown everyone knew to be true to no Republican had the guts to say, other times with the equivalent of “You’re fat and ugly.” One is less productive than the other, but both leave a mark.
Democrats have been doing this forever. They got away with it because who was going to call them on it? Journalists? Television comedians? They weren’t about to be critical of their own team, especially when they were engaging in the tactics they, themselves, pioneered.
As the left has gotten more radical, they’ve gotten more insistent that it is the right who’ve changed. The party of Reagan was pro-life, pro-border security, pro-growth, pro-America, pro-marriage and traditional family and anti-communist. Democrats used to have a fairly large contingent of members who were a couple of those things too, now they have none.
It’s like sitting next to someone on a long bench, then sliding all the way down to the other end of the bench and complaining that the other person has gone so far away from you. Yes, there is a chasm between the two of you, but they’ve barely moved. It’s about perspective and who frames it more than the reality.
Just a few years ago, no Democrat would allow their cities to burn, the neighborhoods they govern to be destroyed by a band of anti-American goons; they would have shut it down the second anything destructive started to happen. Now, they fundraise for bail money for people who throw firebombs at police and burn local, black owned businesses. But it’s Republicans who’ve changed?
Most curious is how there is literally no one on the left willing to be critical of it. There has been no “Sister Souljah moment,” no Democrat willing to tell this violent mob, or the entitled brats on college campuses, or arrogant and ignorant Members of Congress that this country is not the horrific, racist, sexist, homophobic root of all evil in the world they chant it is.
Not one Democrat stands up for the country against this destructive mob, they embrace it.
This is not the party of JFK – someone who served this country, who was anti-communist. He wasn’t perfect, but he wasn’t anything near what that party is now. Their 1960 nominee would not even be allowed a daytime speaking slot at their convention today.
As you hear Joe Biden whine about how the Republican Party has changed, as him how? Look up everything he’s spent his career advocating and ask if any of what he said he supported in his first presidential run in 1988 is something he supports today. His only legislative “accomplishment” in four decades in the Senate was the 1994 crime bill, which he had to denounce because Democrats no longer support the idea of imprisoning criminals.
So, ask your liberal friends one simple question: Which party changed again?
SPURWING PLOVER says
JFK , ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY
Mo de Profit says
All of them.
Today it is the establishment vs the rest of the world.
They didn’t oppose lockdowns.
They didn’t oppose deadly vaccines.
They don’t oppose the World pHarma Organisation taking over.
They don’t oppose net zero and climate hysteria.
They don’t oppose mass immigration.
They don’t oppose endless wars.
They don’t oppose globalism.
They don’t oppose the gender ideology.
They don’t oppose the anti white agenda.
They don’t oppose Marxist policies.
They don’t oppose any of the United Nations 17 sustainable development goals.
They don’t oppose Agenda 2030.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
True, don’t oppose Marxist anything. But they do oppose freedoms of regular citizens and those who defy the marxists.

>JFK – someone who served this country, who was anti-communist.
JFK:
– Got us into Vietnam
– Caused the Cuban Missile Crisis
– Ended the Silver Standard
– Tried to nationalize the steel industry
– Won the 1960 election via rampant voter fraud in multiple states
– Died before the consequences of his terrible presidency could be realized: Many of LBJ’s failures are merely continuations of Kennedy’s policies)
I wouldn’t consider JFK someone for Conservatives to look up to.
There was no “party switch” either.
We have a progressive, Hamiltonian Republican Party, and Democrats who became Hamiltonians as they were subsumed by former Whigs and the far left.
Anne says
Hmmm, knowing what I know now. Pretty sure the CIA got us into Vietnam and gave us the Cuban Missile Crisis. Think your correct on the rest of it. He also gave us one of his worse decision and that was an Executive Order granting Federal employee’s Union protections. Later codified by Congress. That was like putting the Fox in charge of the Henhouse.
M Wald says
And why exactly was the Cuban Missile Crisis a bad thing??????
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
JFK, Jr reluctantly authorized some special forces there on a temp basis. It was LBJ who really cranked up the war machine while attempting to manage the battles from the WH. It took Republican Nixon to get us out of there. Of course, lefties and the media here would have none of that.

“So, ask your liberal friends one simple question: Which party changed again?”
What liberal friends? I don’t have the time for moronic coffeehouse argument.
Owie says
Liberal friends has become an oxymoron.
Mo de Profit says
Even though the democrats think that coloured people can’t make it without their help?
BobbyD says
What will happen when black Americans finally decide not to ignore that fact?
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
He was correct – he’ll die a Democrat. And probably sooner rather than later.
Such nonthinkers are actually suicidal in the blindness.
BobbyD says
What do you suppose would happen if a sane Democrat were to run for the presidency as an “evolved JFK Democrat”? Wait a minute, where will Democrats find, from among themselves, a Democrat whose past words and behaviors would verify that first criterion? Oh, never mind.
