Man, oh Manischewitz! Mark Levin has been on FIRE over the past week, laying down reason and truth before the American People about the radicals that reside throughout a particular party and within the wider media...
"The greatest threat to our constitution and economic system isn't any foreign power. It's the Democrat party. It's the leftist within the Democrat party because they use our liberty and our constitution to destroy our liberty and our constitution, and they're very good at it."
Mark covers every preposterous suggestion from abolishing the Electoral College to lowering the voting age to stacking the Supreme Court, as well as questioning the absurdity of having "to explain this to people who want to run for president of the United States?"
"Every decision they make or everything they espouse is about power, controlling power."
And that truly is it in a nutshell...
Then with the President's vindication over the weekend, Levin has continued to hold ALL to account daily this week, from the Democrats to Mueller to the Media. Expanding on accountability of members of Congress or those in the media, or the lack thereof to hold themselves accountable or apologize, the Great One drove the point home of where the REAL collusion lies...and an opposition agent has unwittingly helped to spread this message! Thanks?
Finally, Media Matters against America got something right. Yes, I said it. Spread it widely, you frauds. https://t.co/vXC4vUqqgU
Well, you have collusion. You have collusion between the Democrat Party, the media and the Obama administration. Hillary Clinton, she's been silent for three or four days, hasn't she? Barack Obama has been silent throughout all this, hasn't he? For all the talk of the Democrats who run these committees, they don't want to talk to Hillary Clinton. They don't want to talk to Barack Obama.
They want transparency. I want transparency. Here's the impeachment clause of the Constitution. Treason, bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors. I can name people who've committed treason, other high crimes and misdemeanors. He's not in the White House. They're members of Congress. We have a big problem in this country.
The Democrat Party is not a pro-American party. They lost an election. They act like a third world party. They want to destroy the president and the presidency. Listen to their candidates -- anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-liberty, anti-security, anti-immigration. This is the problem, and the media is the mouthpiece.
...it is time to focus on the Democrats in the House. It is time to focus on the media, and the Hillary campaign, the DNC, Barack Obama. This was Barack Obama's government that did all this.
When the Russians were interfering with our election, they were interfering with our election when Comey was the FBI director, when Clapper was the head of intelligence, when Brennan was the head of the CIA, when Loretta Lynch was the head of the Department of Justice. They went after the candidate of the opposition party.
They put spies in his campaign. They abused the FISA court system. They used opposition research. This country doesn't belong to Adam Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi. Big deal, they got one-half of one-third of the government. It belongs to us.
And you in the free press, you are destroying the free press. This will be met -- noted in history what a bunch of loathsome, ideological mouthpieces you are for the tyranny that is the Democrat party.
DAMN RIGHT, Mark! And it's not time to move on to the next controversy, political fisticuffs or absurdity. It's time to hold all of these conspirators accountable, starting with the ones who insist on disseminating these "outright lies as news", which happens to segue perfectly into Levin's next major work...
Levin's sentiments also coincide perfectly with that of the President's, who's actually having a great ‘news’ week for a change (in spite of them of course!).
The Mainstream Media is under fire and being scorned all over the World as being corrupt and FAKE. For two years they pushed the Russian Collusion Delusion when they always knew there was No Collusion. They truly are the Enemy of the People and the Real Opposition Party!
The Special Counsel did not find any collusion and did not find any obstruction. AG Barr and DAG Rosenstein further determined there was no obstruction. The findings of the Department of Justice are a total and complete exoneration of the President of the United States.”
JUST IN: President Trump speaks following Attorney General William Barr's letter to Congress on the Mueller report: "It's a shame that our country had to go through this. To be honest, it's a shame that your president has had to go through this." https://t.co/yPaWAPjhShpic.twitter.com/aTKeYGffgd
...but only after nearly two years of BS allegations and MILLIONS spent in taxpayer dollars is this witch hunt over.
Here we are, two years and $30-plus million in taxpayer funds later, and nothing to show for it, except some completely discredited media commentators and partisan members of Congress who breathlessly all but guaranteed there would be evidence of the president and members of his family and staff colluding with the Russians. I won’t hold my breath for their admissions and apologies.
Lives have been ruined and America’s image on the world stage has been tarnished because rogue government agents and hyper-partisan Democrats thought they could overturn the results of an election they lost fair and square.
With the Mueller witch hunt behind him, perhaps now the President Trump can finally focus his full attention on the job that the American people elected him to do: making America great again.
Levin lit in to Mueller and the entirety of this charade last night, making his usual astute and scholarly observations, particularly concerning what was actually going on here the whole time...
"When you bring up phony charges against an individual, and they're vindicated, the vindication is good. The issue isn't whether it's worth it. It's how did this information come to be? Why did the senior level of the FBI, senior level of our intelligence agency, senior level of the Department of Justice, the mass media pushed these stories, pushed these lies, pushed this narrative day in and day out? And now, zero, zippo, nothing. Nothing! And there was never anything. And the President of the United States, for all the grief he takes, has been telling the truth from day one. ... we have a big problem in this country. 'Freedom of the Press'. It is a huge problem. Not the fact of freedom of the press, but that we have individuals who do not respect the Constitution, who do not respect freedom of the press. And this is gonna continue, and the American People should rise up, and the American People should say, 'We have had enough of this, you're spending our money on opposition research, we know this is about 2020'..."
Not to leave out the radical members of Congress attempting to interfere with our justice system, which Levin assuredly mentions...
"Veteran news anchor Ted Koppel has come out again saying that the media is no longer the reservoir of objectivity that it once was. Stating that becoming the enemy of the President is not the role of the press." ~ MLS, 3/19/19
Koppel completely backs up Trump's feeling, and at least half of America's feeling, on the matter...
The Fake News Media has NEVER been more Dishonest or Corrupt than it is right now. There has never been a time like this in American History. Very exciting but also, very sad! Fake News is the absolute Enemy of the People and our Country itself!
Whichever side of the political aisle you reside, it's more obvious than ever before in our lifetimes, blatantly displayed for all to see. Where so many in the press want to present this calling-out as nothing more than hyperbole, I have to say that either of these gentlemen are on the mark about the nonobjective, unabashed, unhealthy bias going on, and Jesse Watters is spot on in his analysis...
...or an even calmer sit-down with Levin and Bennett, reminiscent of Buckley's Firing Line discussions, addressing the incessant barrage, the President's ability to surpass it, the media's hard left trajectory, as well as the Democrats (but I repeat myself, which is an integral part of the problem), and the overall influencing of young American minds...
I purposefully pulled from the President's tweets for a couple of reasons. First, this was not an effort to promote one broadcast source over another. Quite the contrary. I want to demonstrate another obvious point: there's limited broadcasting of truth occurring, whether journalistic or opinion, and fewer courageous enough to address it.
Secondly, and speaking as one highly critical of the usage early on in his presidency, is a point that the man just made himself, which I've come to appreciate as a necessity as long as the media continues to act up...
I wish I could say that as time passes, they'll abandon the revisionism and embrace a booming economic optimism brought about by this administration, one that even CNN frets over. I wish I could say they'd abandon all of the day-to-day nonsense. But don't count on the media to heed Koppel's warning and do the right thing anytime soon.
So in the meantime, keep chirping through the darkness, both he and we.
Heard the results of this news over vacation, so wanted to make sure and backlog it as Mark explainedonce again for the numbskulls...
Mark Levin took on the critics of President Trump’s national emergency declaration on the border crisis and defended the president’s legal power to build the wall.
“Let me try this a different way, so even slow-learning senators, radio hosts, and TV hosts can understand it,” Levin said.
“If the 1976 National Emergencies Act is unconstitutional, then multiple presidents have violated the Constitution, and Congress has done nothing and the courts have done nothing,” Levin said. “If the movement of funds under the Military Construction Codification Act of 1982 is unconstitutional, a dictatorial act, then past presidents have been dictators. But the fact of the matter is this is far more acceptable, as a constitutional matter, than the existence of these departments and agencies in the first place.”
YEP, great point. And of course the President did the RIGHT thing: VETO!
A vote for today’s resolution by Republican Senators is a vote for Nancy Pelosi, Crime, and the Open Border Democrats!
House Democrats on Tuesday failed to override President Trump’s first veto as part of their battle over border security, representing a victory for the administration that allows the president's declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border to stand.
...moving forward on border security, via the wall!
When you hear a couple of young employees joking in the hallway about conservative's bogeyman of socialism, then one comments to the other, "Well, anything's gotta be better than what we have now," then you know there's a fundamental disconnect between understanding just how good they have it and misunderstanding what being socialist really means and its 100% record of failure throughout its relatively short history when compared against the entirety of human existence.
Ultimately, the contemporary argument for socialism boils down to: “next time will be different, because we say so.” After more than two dozen failed attempts, that is just not good enough.
This leftward lurch among young people attracted by the Democraticcool-free-stuff-that's-not-really-free-because-someone-else-pays-for-it base over the last few years is troublesome to say the least. But we need not sugarcoat socialism for impressionable millennials (or those old enough to know better, like my fellow co-workers). And in a recent article, Jen Kuznicki breaks through the typical rhetoric and boils it down with common clarity that demonstrates how socialism isn’t confusing at all...
...socialism isn’t confusing or hard to understand. Socialism is your lazy brother-in-law who always just needs a couple of bucks, maybe a loan that he’ll never pay back, always mooching off of you, asking what you’re having for Sunday dinner and couldn’t he and his new girlfriend come over?
Socialism is your neighbor who always borrows stuff and never returns it. Then when you go to his garage sale, you suddenly realize the hedge trimmer, cordless drill, and battery charger he is selling seem awfully familiar.
Socialism is the dumb jock who charms the bookish girl so she’ll do his homework for him. She’ll end up working three times as hard as she would otherwise, just for a wink and a hug. Socialism is how the lazy, dumb, and unimaginative get stuff they don’t deserve.
Socialism, put simply, exists by sucking wealth, hard work, and prosperity out of those who create it. What one person or group of people have created by hard work, socialism will suck dry through demands from those who never did, nor could, create.
This next section also hits home with those friends who say, "Well, I separate my political views from my religious beliefs"... huh? I don't care how crafty you are, humans literally cannot separate our private self from our public self and maintain a rational worldview. Or you may have other friends who profess to be 'Christian socialists'...say what? Yeah, that's a thing, albeit confusion on their part, as Dostoevsky (and Bastiat) has already sorted out that socialism rejects God the way Christians should reject socialism. The conflicting ideals on social justice and welfare between the faithful and the secular also factor into the discussion here...
Then there are the people who tell you that you wouldn’t be Christian if you didn’t loan out all your good tools to your neighbor. Turn the other cheek, they say, it’s the Lord’s way.
Socialism exists through guilt. Perhaps you knew your stupid, lazy brother-in-law was always no good, but your wife tells you to do the “right thing.”
And God forbid you mention the fact that you worked hard to get all those things and they hold monetary and personal value to you. For shame, they chide! Don’t you know the way of the Lord is to give and never expect anything in return? The Left calls upon muddled versions of biblical lessons in order to suck your wealth dry.
They claim that we are all in this society together and that you must give to those who are less fortunate than you. As if fortune is gained only through luck. As if fortune has nothing to do with hard work and perseverance.
They leave out charity and replace it with coercive force, but I'm getting ahead of myself. First we have to segue into and out of the classes formed and targeted, along with the forced compliance of injustices created...
Then they say “the rich” don’t deserve their money; they must give it to the socialist system. They empower the state to confiscate the fortune of a few, until the fortune of the few no longer keeps up with the sucking.
They whip up angry, jealous crowds to go after the rich, claiming they are for the middle. When the rich are sucked dry, there are inevitably more angry, jealous poor, and then they go after the middle.
Socialism is government spending, but first it’s forced taking. Socialists start taking by coaxing through guilt, then shame, then force. Socialism cannot exist in nature, because eventually you have to force people to comply with something so unjust.
It is unjust that you should be forced to turn over what you produce through the work of your mind and body to those who did nothing but befriend the authorities. As the noose of socialism tightens, the state grows stronger, and the individual is helpless under its grip.
...concluding with a clear summation that may be too theological for some, but covers the practicalities as well...
Our nation was built on the freedom of the human mind, body, and spirit. It is a glory to God that we are all created equal, yet with different individual talents that can only thrive if given the freedom they yearn for. Our work on earth is for the greater glory of God. We work to please Him and, in turn, help all of humanity.
No, socialism isn’t confusing. Socialism is touted by the cowardly, underhanded, and power-hungry, whose ultimate goal is to control the people.
That control definitely extends beyond the means of production. It affects your very livelihood. But if one wants to isolate that to an economic corridor, there are ample lessons there as well. Levin set up a great economic reality check last week, one that he's shared a number of times, addressing the ‘hysterical nonsense’ of democratic socialists...
Friday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin called out self-described “democratic socialists” on the Left and their “hysterical nonsense” with a lesson in how markets actually work.
“These are not smart people; they’re not experienced people. They’re not substantive people,” Levin said. “They’re demagogues.” He then delved into a lesson on why centrally controlled economies always control people.
In society and economics, “there aren’t simple answers” and “there aren’t experts who can control everything,” Levin explained. “And in the end, it all comes down to tyranny, because it’s a failure.”
“Who is smart enough and bright enough to know the trillions of decisions that are made at any given time?” Levin asked. “They can’t, so they have to control.”
To illustrate his point, Levin played a recorded reading of Leonard Read’s landmark 1958 essay on trade and economics, I, Pencil, which describes all the complex, voluntary economic mechanisms that go into making a simple pencil.
“This is what ought to be taught in our classrooms,” Levin concluded after playing the recording. “And it’s not. Ever. Except in very, very few institutions.”
Any way you parse it, socialism is not the answer to the cronyism (which is what folks are actually frustrated about) of a capitalist system or any other system of governance. Quite the contrary, when that cronyism continues to reside in a socialistic structure, the detriments are clearly recorded, and damnably so, throughout the destructive history of socialism. The sooner young Americans figure that out, the quicker we can unite as a People to take our country back from an out-of-control bureaucracy, instead of shoring it up with more dictates over our individual, God-given liberties.
Between these two beliefs—private property and socialism— there exists fundamental conflict. They represent contradictory views of sovereignty, man, law, society, and inheritance. They are fundamentally rival religious systems. Choosing one, you reject the other; service and honor to God, or servitude to fellow men. Either God commands and judges man, or man commands and judges man.
I'll go ahead and preface this by saying that I'm not about to paint the Republican Party as angelic by any stretch. God knows it's got its internecine problems. But of all the flaws within the GOP, they still pale in comparison to the, well, I'll just say it, GODLESS ROT espoused by the political Left who appear to control every facet of today's Democratic Party. So, what's the appeal again?
Instead of a desire to be an exceptional, faithful nation, a shining city on a hill, the Democratic camp seems to be offering the complete opposite, a cesspool of everything else that has been before and has failed, just with shiny new repackaging. Quin Hillyer captured a handful of these most recent accounts that should cause Americans to recoil from this insanity (btw, there's some great links throughout this piece that I'd encourage readers to check out)...
The American public should be appalled by the radical lurch to the left that the Democratic Party is now taking. On issue after issue, leading Democrats now openly promote positions that liberal Democrats just 10 or 15 years ago once strongly rejected as being too extremely left-wing. This is true in at least six issue areas: abortion/infanticide, healthcare, environmental edicts, taxation, socialism, and anti-Semitism.
So let's look at them one by one, starting with an open embrace of socialism...
It may be facile for conservatives to attack the term “socialist,” but more and more Democrats are embracing not just its tenets but the label itself. Perhaps this is largely because polls show that increasing numbers of young voters, ignorant of history, view socialism as a novel idea with potential, or even a good thing. Still, for Democratic officeholders and serious candidates to embrace the label — even as, for example, Venezuela’s socialist disaster forces people to starve in the streets — is a sign that reason and bedrock American values are in increasingly short supply.
Working along the socialist lines are environmental edicts (what Levin calls eco-statism)...
Enough has been written elsewhere about the so-called Green New Deal, “eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from every sector of the economy," that Americans should already see it as a danger to our way of life and our liberty, given the centralized command and control required and the out-of-thin-air financing: “The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments and new public banks can be created to extend credit. There is also space for the government to take an equity stake in projects to get a return on investment." This would surely both bankrupt the economy and make us serfs to government planners.
And onto a favorite, socialized healthcare ('cause Obamacare wasn't disastrous enough)...
The “Medicare for all” plan that at least six likely Democratic presidential contenders have embraced is so outlandish that center-left policy-wonk columnist William Galston this month called it an “unforced error [that] could give President Trump his best chance to win re-election in 2020.” He wrote that one main “version of Medicare for All means private insurance for none. Even if you like your private plan, you can’t keep it. And many Americans do like their private plans, which is why they find proposals like [this one] so troubling.” Democratic Sen. Michael Bennett of Colorado, wisely aghast, notes that it could take away the current plans held by 180 million Americans.
Then another familiar tune to Big Gov's out-of-control spending, higher taxation...
On taxes, it was just over three decades ago that many leading Democratic officeholders embraced a top income tax rate of 28 percent, and later, not even former President Barack Obama dared propose raising the top rate above 40. Now, suddenly, when a radical such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., proposes a 70 percent rate, leading presidential contender Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., says she thinks this and other Ocasio-Cortez approaches are “ fantastic.” Voters may not have enough memories of Jimmy Carter’s horrendous “misery-index” economy, the last time the United States had a 70 percent rate.
Can't mention aOC without her radical sorority sister, which brings us to a resurgence of anti-Semitism...
The overwhelming anti-Zionism and increasing anti-Semitism, or tolerance thereof, among American liberals is beginning to receive greater notice. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for example, has finally had to criticize Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for the latter’s anti-Semitism, but she won’t remove her from key committees despite her continued questionable behavior. The opposition to anti-Semitism thus seems only rhetorical, with no teeth.
And finally, we get to out-doing the golden Democratic calf of convenience, abortion, with an even more ancient evil: infanticide...
Finally, there’s the frightening Democratic radicalization on abortion. In the 1970s and 1980s, mainstream Democrats said abortion should be available for two trimesters, but not in the third. In the 1990s, former President Bill Clinton’s “safe, legal, and rare” was the mantra. In 2000, a partial-birth abortion ban passed the House without objection and passed the Senate with 14 Democratic votes. But now, Republicans can’t even get Democrats to allow a straight vote on banning infanticide after a baby has been born, in either the House or Senate. And Democrats are cheering as laws permitting infanticide are passed in New York state and endorsed by Virginia’s Democratic governor.
For those who missed them, these were the words of Gov. Ralph Northam: "The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."
This is horrifying.
I wish I could say this is all make-believe, some nightmarish fantasy, but such is not the case. These are the damnable realities being brought to life by a Democratic Party determined to drag the country down a path of annihilation. Even older Dems see it, and are trying to warn newer generations from it, but I fear far too many are not heeding their advice...
No wonder wise old Democratic hands such as former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell are saying their party’s crazy-left turn could get President Trump re-elected in response.
There are still enough Americans with enough common sense to be angered by ideas so radical as to dangerously undermine American civil society. That’s the direction Democrats are going in. They ought to reverse course, and soon.
They certainly ought to for the sake of their own humanity. And perhaps another take on this could break through to those younger demographics. On just the first and last topics that Hillyer covers, Jonah Goldberg takes a fascinating deep dive into the inherent correlations of socialism and infanticide, quite accurately dubbed The Return of Barbarism:
Old evils continue to reinvent themselves.
...At its core, [socialism] is not an idea or even a program: It’s a feeling. ...
Whether it’s the Socialist Party of Great Britain or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or the millions of young people who think they’re socialists, they think socialism is a good thing that can do no wrong, and if it does wrong it must be because it’s not really socialism. I understand why conservatives think socialism is evil — because there are so many examples of socialism being evil. But most socialists don’t think they’re evil — nor is it their greatest dream to steal our hamburgers: Socialism is just their word for fixing what’s wrong with the world. The problem is that when you give yourself over to a single idea of how things should be, you check yourself into what Chesterton called “the clean and well-lit prison of one idea” and you become “sharpened to one painful point.” You are bereft of the “healthy hesitation and healthy complexity” that lets you grasp the world as it is and understand the crooked timber of human nature.
In the fantasy world of [socialism], we’d all share equally society’s wealth. But what this vision leaves out is the socialist with the clipboard that keeps track of who gets their “fair share” and the men with guns who protect the man with the clipboard from those who disagree with his decisions. The man who says “get in line for your share” is the new ruler of every would-be utopia. The clipboard becomes a totem of power no less ominous than the ball and scepter, the whip, the fasces, or the phone the person in power uses to make you disappear. Humans make hierarchies of status and privilege for themselves whenever the opportunity avails itself. This is why all socialist systems that do not work within the constraints of a liberal democratic framework of the rule of law inevitably descend into tyrannies. Give the state unbridled power, and the denizens of the state will use that power toward their own ends.
But socialism is just one form of [destruction] that can be unleashed to trample the complex ecosystem of liberty in pursuit of a single idea. Nationalism, fascism, and almost every other ism can, in service to the same cult of unity, do the same damage.
One-thingism is the enemy of all freedoms, even the one thing of freedom itself. As Peregrine Worsthorne once noted, a doctrine of total freedom pursued to its logical conclusion is a world where bullies are free to do their will. Ordered liberty is a different concept altogether because it balances the tension between the need for both order and liberty. We are free to do the things that do not harm others unjustifiably. Which brings me to...The Freedom to Kill Babies. ...
...putting aside the philosophical, scientific, and theological arguments... People can understandably debate whether a young embryo should be considered a human being. But there is simply no credible moral argument that a viable baby should not be considered a human being. A late-term fetus strikes most reasonable people as a baby, not some abstracted and euphemized thing called “uterine contents” or whatnot. And a delivered baby outside the womb or in the process of delivery is, simply, a baby. The Barbara Boxer view that a baby miraculously becomes a baby only after you bring it home from the hospital is a moral monstrosity.
And this is why conservative pro-lifers are not hypocrites when they say the state should intervene on the behalf of babies. The real hypocrisy cuts the other way. Liberal abortion rights supporters — speaking broadly — have no principled objection to the state regulating the size of our sodas, banning plastic straws or regulating free speech. But going by the statements and votes of the last month — by Ralph Northam, Andrew Cuomo, Kamala Harris, and so many others — they draw the line at regulating infanticide. ...
Harris supports the Women’s Health Protection Act (as do Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Beto O’Rourke, Kristen Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, and Bernie Sanders). It would eliminate nearly all limits on abortion from late-term bans to abortions based on sex-selection (one wonders how they would feel if transgender fetuses could be identified in utero).
This isn’t ordered liberty; it’s the freedom of the jungle which says you can do whatever you can get away with. It’s fine to argue that “abortions” of viable, healthy, babies are rare (putting aside all the begged questions implicit in the word “healthy.” Do otherwise healthy kids with Down Syndrome count as unhealthy?). But what we’re talking about is the principle. ...
Just as socialism represents an atavistic impulse to return to pre-modern understandings of politics, the new push for killing inconvenient babies — in principle — is a barbaric step backward to pre-civilized past. Infanticide in our natural environment was incredibly common. ...
In pre-historic times, which were no Eden, our ancestors often killed their offspring because they were a real burden and adoption agencies were few and far between. And when I say a real burden, I mean a real burden. Mothers often didn’t have enough milk to feed two infants, which is why the killing of twins was so common. Crying babies when enemy tribes or predators are about are as inconvenient as hungry toddlers when food is scarce.
One aspect of the amazing miracle of the environment we live in now – i.e. civilization — is that killing babies is no longer a necessity, but a luxury. This move to disguise this hideous luxury as a new form of necessity is not a sign that we are advancing as a civilization, but that we are regressing, back to when killing babies was natural and normal.
Upon the creation of our nation, however imperfectly executed, our forefathers sought an exceptional path towards free-living liberty, something that was not at all commonplace in a conquered world. Likewise, while not the easiest way to abide by, Judeo-Christian principles clearly direct one away from the worldly self in favor of the selfless divine, loving God and loving your neighbor. These were exceptions to the worldly, human rule of our ancestors and continue to be in many parts of today's world. As Americans, we are inherently called to push against the grain of all those failed systems and detrimental practices, and instead seek out and preserve that which works, the exceptional. Yet, there exists at least one major media-celebrated political party that is undeniably at odds with what we've always known as the American Way, and that's a real conundrum that our generation and future generations must factor into all rationale and inevitably face. It's imperative that we understand this, lest this incarnation of the Democratic Party be allowed to lord over us once more. God forbid.
