2024-12-08 Government Corruption

By Clarice Feldman

[AmericanThinker] Eighty-three years after the disastrous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor which galvanized our nation to prepare for a long fight and ultimate victory, we have a clearer picture of how Barack Obama (and through him, President Biden) destroyed his party and with it many of our institutions. We now have a leader and a plan to restore their strength. Much has been written about why the Democrats suffered such a devastating loss in the election, but I’m inclined to place great weight on the views expressed by Adam Mill in Chronicles Magazine, who argues persuasively that the Democrats’ decision-making process doomed their chances, a process unlikely to soon change.

“Democrats don’t have leaders, rather they have ‘facilitators’ who balance the many competing demands of their disparate coalition, leading to a rigid script of talking points,” he argues. To keep on message is the key autocratic aim of the party, so any “single deviation from the script endangers the entire enterprise.” This explains as well as most theories why Kamala Harris’s rare public interviews devolved into bafflegab word salads. Why in the absence of good sense, the party left the border open, supported pornographic books in public school libraries, “fought for abortion of viable fetuses up until birth, and demanded free sex surgeries for illegal immigrants in custody.”

By contrast, Donald Trump, who had clear views of his own on significant subjects, met with hostile reporters, political critics, and opponents. “He preserves his own agency.” The consequences of their rigid orthodoxy not only damaged their party, but caused all of us to suffer from their tactics, not the least of which is “a widespread crisis of incompetence within the institutions that sacrificed merit for ideological parity.” The party was riddled with corruption, and it spread throughout the government. As Michael Walsh has long contended, the Democrats “are nothing less than a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.”

A reactionary criminal organization, etc… The nonsense they’ve been pushing is the same old line used since 1968, pushed all the way to the endpoint of possibilities. Donald Trump’s MAGA movement is where all the new ideas are.

#1 Eighty-three years after the disastrous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor which galvanized our nation to prepare for a long fight and ultimate victory,

After which America quickly demobilized their military. Most of the pre-war FDR big government agencies had dwindled. DC didn't go full internationalist again till the events of 1948 with Soviet subversion around the globe [Czechoslovakia, Turkey, Greece, China, and Berlin airlift]. The price for that 'save the world' mentality costs us the very Constitutional law that we have lived with since the beginning. It was the start of the never ending centralization and concentration of power that we are dealing with today along with the death of classical liberalism that would be compromised by the hard Left in the lust for that power. The world is still chaos and our treasury empty.
