Why would anyone be a Democrat?

[pt0217]

I was watching the news last night. Story after story of really bad $hit going on in the Democratic Party.

•The ridiculous conclusion from the Democrats on the Benghazi select committee.

• The unethical, inappropriate meeting between The attorney general and Bill Clinton.

• Hillary Clinton ( too much to list)

• This disaster in Baltimore. Where the District Attorney has done some very questionable things in an effort to put 6 cops in jail for the death of Freddy Gray

• A complete denial of an all out jihad against America

• a complete disregard for law in an effort to allow anyone and everyone to come into our country completely unchecked.

• political correctness craziness.

Just to mention a few.

I can't imagine any real American Patriot supporting this parties platform.

So I can vote for the lesser of 2 evils in the primaries,hoping that republics don't shoot their own foot off...then vote straight republican in the general election.

[pt0217]

I'm sure you agree, the how and why someone votes is a personal choice.

My point is, how can any patriotic American just ignore all that the Democratic Party stands for and call themselves a democrat. Personally I find that their platform is Un-American.

[pt0217]

I'm not talking about social issues. Abortion, gay marriage forget about that. I'm talking about the rule of law, the Constitution, the safety of American Citizens. The Democratic Party has shown over and over a complete disregard for these things.

[Rattler]

They're Democrats because they are Progressives.  They ignore all of the violations of law and applaud all of the social issue mandates you mentioned and then some.

 

These people used to be anti-establishment in the 60's, but have come to love leftist administrations since then, and now feel the government is on their side, like a big brother they can turn to when they want to beat up their opponents.

 

They should be called "Police State Progressives" rather than Democrats, for they are in fact advocating for a police state, especially in the area of gun control and Rule of Law.

 

When someone tells me they are a Democrat and support Obama and Progressive agendas, it tells me they are not interested in liberty, freedom, the constitution, rule of law, equality or limited government.  I believe any of the founders would slap the crap out of them if they were alive today to do it.

Well said!

P.S.  I forgot to mention, Liberalism is a mental disorder.

OMG...I just wrote a length post and lost it...so never mind...other than to say assumptions people assumptions. Damn it was a good post too...lol

Grow, please share. I love to hear others perspective.

[ants]

To answer the question in your title………"Birds of a feather flock together"

[pt0217]

No doubt. I am just surprised that there are people that don't believe in America. I am talking about Americans,not people that came into this country not knowing what we have.

[philoshop]

Short answer: a lot of people don't know, and simply don't care, about what made this country great in the first place.

[growalot]

Wow..lots of assumptions riding this wave...there are many republican supporters that have stayed registered Democrats. For the same reason I did. We hope the Republicans can stop shooting themself in the foot and put forth decent candidates...knowing they have been in a down ward spiral since Bush 2 want to have our say in the opposing primary. To at least try and avoid all their crazy agenda(socialism)succeeding with a candidate like Hilary...Then we vote the general election Republican....that's the short version of what I originally wrote.

Grow,

Thanks. I think the old school labor type Democrates are some of the truest people I've ever met. I will be the first person in a room to say I never liked GW. But today it seems like the Democratic Party has been hijacked by anarchists. And their leaders don't have the unowhat's to so stop it. At the very least the republicans have stood for the rule of law and the constitution. The Democrats? Well, at the least they are doing what they think will get them elected. When are AMERICANS going to unite and stand for what our founders died for?????

PS I've started drinking so I think it's in my best interest to not post for the rest of the evening.

Listening is all rigged. I'm in fear when I imagine what is going on up the ladder after seeing what goes on at the bottom,having been a voter inspector in a small town. It's set up to utilize as much smoke and as many mirrors as possible. To keep the general population placated, confused,depending on where you stand on issues. All so the top tier can gain and increase their power and affluence. That's both parties. All we can do is manage to maneuver through the game to feel we've done the best we can.

My biggest problem is seeing we are on an irreversible path that started in the 50's and 60's. See the Republicans were going after big business ,power, and world dominance..look at the origins of Nam. At the same time the Democrats were rolling out the magic carpet for all those downdraden masses..They went after education and lawyers.Who do you think taught me at 18 in school, to vote and make a difference,join the party that I think would make an impact on the world. We were in a war with a draft! Don't get me going on higher education...They taught us, our kids and their kids. The old guard was actually old and retiring when I left school.They then went after parental control. Letting all these poor kids know all their right's and telling them what few rights'm s their parents had,and backed it up with those layers and law. Now even when the Democrats have primed the pump for a reverse flow of events,they can't pull down the wedgy they have over Trump having the popular vote and instead of working with him they are helping the Democrats with their infighting. See there are still patriots in the General population...but few left in the government..on both sides.

Grow, great perspective. I don't have the same life experience you have. I appreciate yours.

This was well said growie. But................

 

In this day of certain terrorist groups killing innocent Americans, we have to look at the picture a bit differently. We all know most politicians blow smoke while hiding behind a mirror. But, something has to be done about letting people who want the destruction of this country and it's people into the US. It has to stop! We need politicians who will stand up against this oppression, and take the steps to start protecting this country. If that's not done we will not be the United States Of America anymore! Sorry, but if anyone is for allowing more innocent Americans to be killed in cold blood, I am not on your side! If you want to take my right to own and bear arms, as a law abiding citizen, I am not on your side! If you alter the constitution to restrict what guns I can own, I am not on your side. When politicians tell me I have to alter how my guns look or work, and you agree, I am not on your side.

 

We are at the start of WWII! You better be voting for any hope of the USA being able to protect itself and not falling. If you don't, be prepared for a full invasion and fighting our military and LEO's. I have said this in another thread, it's not paranoia, it's looking at what is conspiring. Thanks to the "Cuomo Act" we have LEO's making alterations to this "Act" as they see fit. That's not paranoia, it's fact.

 

 

You are right growie, we need to pick our battles. But, Hillary will do nothing for the hunters, to preserve the constitution, or gun owners. There's a bigger picture here. Not many seem to get it.

[growalot]

I agree whole heartedly...which is why I stayed in a party for which the only way for me to actively attempt to keep her from getting this far was to vote against her in their primary. Unfortunately that vote didn't help,but now I can once again vote against her in the general elections.

I'm assuming the YOU in your post was a general term and not directed at me. If not my last 4 posts missed their mark...lol

they can't pull down the wedgy they have over Trump having the popular vote and instead of working with him they are helping the Democrats with their infighting.

 

Sorry they being the republicans...I couldn't catch all auto corrects and dang ..afraid the kindle would drop another post...I need a lap top...

[pt0217]

I have to ask this question again. After watching Comey stand up there and say that the Democratic nominee for President acted extremely careless. And that's the best case scenario. Many believe there was nothing careless about her actions. That she deliberately used and scrubbed her private server to avoid anyone seeing her emails.

How can anyone be a registered Democrat? The leadership is so dishonest and corrupt I can't believe people aren't absolutely ashamed to be a registered democrat.

[pt0217]

I'm not a historian but I assume that some time after World War 2 the German people realized how bad the Nazi party was.

[growalot]

Because for some a party name is like a religious affiliation...and for others it's just a name of a group of people and a means to an end.

For the first group they have a need to place all there hopes and needs in an ideology disregarding reality.

Others look to play the game instead of allowing the game to play them. The reality is. I am only allowed to vote against a person in the Democratic party if I am a democrat voting in a primary. Prefer to attempt to throw a road block up against a possible accident, to trying to clean up the mess after its occurred. Again I prefer to have 2 votes to oppose The worst of an ideology I disagree with than just one in the general election...Or1 should the opposing party screw things up.This being observed in the last general election where I had no one to vote for or against...
