An Open Letter To Democrats

Dear Democratic Party, Anyone who reads this site can tell you that I am not prone to hyperbole or overstatement. I don’t do rash or bombastic, and I don’t say extreme things to get a rise out of people. To the contrary, I consider myself rational, calm and thoughtful. So take note when I say the following: I have come to despise you.

This is not about disagreement over policy. I am not talking about your indifference to the Constitution, your nonsensical proposals, or your sad devotion to long discredited ideas. Those are ideological matters. And while I do not share your views, I can at least understand them. But what I am talking about here is everything else.

You are a party of spite. You would rather bring down “those who have” than lift up “those who have not.” You want to hold back those who are faster or smarter, hinder those who can, take from those who have more, and destroy rather than accept less than what you think is your unearned, "fair" share. You are destructive.

You are a party of hate. You do not debate, you demonize and destroy. There are no good faith disagreements in your world, only those who blindly follow and those you try to destroy. You promote speech codes and political correctness and hate crimes laws and other instruments of suppression of thought, just to quiet all opposition.

You are racists. You see the world through a prism of race, you accuse all who oppose you of racism and you pretend to find racial offense in all things, just to keep the races separated, suspicious and agitated. And I say “pretend” because you only find offense in the words or deed of your opponents, but never your friends who do and say the same things. You also diminish minorities with your condescension. Your policies all assume that blacks or Hispanics cannot succeed except with the assistance of white liberals, you argue that corruption within the black community should be ignored because it is a matter of culture, you argue that Hispanics cannot learn English like the millions of immigrants before them. Clearly, you see these groups as inferior to you.

Your arrogance and condescension are disgusting. You wrongly assert that average people need you to run their lives, that they are beneath you. You call America "fly-over country." You think that you are entitled to luxury on our tax dollars. And you are totalitarians. When you come up with an idea, you try to force all others to accept it. Persuasion to you is the brute force of law.

You are hypocrites. You criticize others for things you do yourself. You shout down others but cry like shrill children when others stand up to you. You deny others the very rights you demand. You rail against the rich, yet you are some of the richest bastards on the planet. You complain about the influence of money, yet you are bought and sold. You are corrupt from stem to stern. There isn’t a form of corruption that isn’t common within the ranks of your elected leaders.

You are liars. You lie like it’s pathological. You lie to hide your ideology. You lie to hide your true intents. You lie to hide your failures. You lie to make the success of others appear to be a failure. You lie about the past, about the present and about the future, and you do so without a moment’s remorse.

You are irresponsible. You happily spend this country into bankruptcy. You happily destroy the institutions that hold this country together. You happily promote policies that destroy people’s lives. And you do this without a single thought to the consequences.

And finally, you are traitors to this country, and I do not say this lightly. I never used to believe this, then I saw Nancy Pelosi glowing at the prospect of disaster in Iraq just to make political gains against Bush. I saw her undermine us in Syria. I saw so many of you cozy up to dictators and thugs who have preached the destruction of America. I’ve seen Democrat after Democrat undermine our foreign policy, our military, our economy, and our culture. I saw Frank Murtha accusing American soldiers of phantom war crime. I saw Obama alienate and sell out our allies. And a hundred more examples. These are not policy differences you are expressing, these are treachery.

So as we enter the Christmas season, which is always a time for reflection, ask yourself why others would see you this way. Is this what you want to stand for? Is this what the party of Jefferson, of Jackson, of FDR and JFK has become?

Maybe it's time for a change.
