THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRE-ELECTION CHARADE
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE BEST INDICATORS OF WHAT IS AT STAKE FOR AMERICA IN THE NOVEMBER 2, 2010, MID-TERM CONGRESSIONAL
ELECTIONS: THE PANICKING POLITICAL LEFT -- ITS INCREASINGLY HYSTERICAL ACCUSATIONS -- ITS RAMPED UP
EFFORTS AT VOTE FRAUD -- ITS REVERSION TO THE LOWEST & MOST REVOLTING EFFORTS AT MANIPULATING ITS BASE --
THE ULTIMATE CONCERN OF THE DEMOCRATS: PRESERVING THE STATUS QUO, WHILE AVOIDING ACCOUNTABILITY
TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY, ECONOMIC WELL-BEING, &
CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
FULL STORY:
Perhaps the best indicators of what is at stake for America in the upcoming mid-term congressional elections can be
found “between the lines” of the rhetoric of Democrats in the final days before America votes. Clearly, the American
political Left is panicking, as evidenced by its increasingly hysterical accusations, its ramped up efforts at vote fraud,
and its reversion to the lowest and most revolting efforts at manipulating its base. A political movement that is
capable of descending to such tactics against those it claims to be its own obviously holds them in even lower
regard than its opposition.
For starters, consider the ramifications of the Democrats' decision to shut down the Congress without passing a
federal budget. Spending is out of control, and riddled with corruption on a scale that dwarfs anything previously
imaginable. Democratic President Barack Obama does his contemptible part, continuing to spew his baseless
invective about “fat cat bankers” and the evils of Wall Street.
Yet, even the collective billions, legitimately earned and exchanged by investors who run the engine of American
market capitalism, pales in comparison to the trillions that Obama and his Democratic Party minions have confiscated
from the American economy and squandered among their cronies and “causes.” The comprehensive discussion of
this topic, sure to be generated by a late year budget debate, would be thoroughly intolerable to a Democratic Party
intent on hiding and camouflaging its oppressive redistributionist agenda until it can once again move safely
beyond the reach of voters.
So, the Democrats left town without passing, or even proposing, a budget. In a time of economic crisis exceeding
anything the American people have suffered in decades, a principled Congress would recognize the value of
showing the nation that the government is intent on setting the proper course back from this fiscal abyss. Yet the
party in power clearly had no intention of either mending its ways or letting the public become any more cognizant
of its sinister objectives.
Thus, entrenched Democrats demonstrated that their ultimate concern is for preserving the status quo, while
avoiding accountability, even at the expense of the nation’s well-being. No doubt, they are all campaigning on
platforms of “fiscal responsibility” and “reining in spending,” desperately hoping that a sufficient number of
Kool-Aid drinkers still remain among their constituency to maintain their perch inside the Beltway.
Meanwhile, while Barack Obama claims to be edifying the nation with his visionary thinking, he is, in reality,
working overtime to establish a new “enemies list,” of those to be vilified by the political establishment and on the
nightly news. For anyone who has not yet been sufficiently affronted by his denigration of this nation, while
groveling before unsympathetic foreigners, consider, in contrast, those whom he categorizes as the miscreants
needing to be confronted and vanquished.
It should not be forgotten that, only a few months ago, the Obama administration held nothing back when warning
of impending catastrophe and promising retribution against an enemy so vile and despicable that it would be forced
to pay dearly for the irreparable damage it had committed against the American people and their way of life.
Of course, Obama was not referring to the terrorist monsters from Al-Qa'ida and Hamas, but those evil corporate
executives at BP in the wake of the Gulf oil spill. Since then, the virtual disappearance of all the oil that threatened to
end life in America, as we know it, has not led to any recantations, reconciliation, or restoration of oil exploration in
America’s waters. A major engineering accident provided the impetus to undermine industry and drive the nation
further towards a Third World existence. So why, in the wake of its alleviation, should the Left give up any of the
ground it had seized?
Similarly, the recent White House attacks against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce flagrantly seek to isolate and
malign this organization. Hardly a hostile foreign entity, its purpose has been to build and improve the American
business base. But, while the activities of this institution generate suspicion and hysterical accusations from the
Obama administration, none of its players are the least bit willing to accurately characterize the true lurking evil that
indeed poses a serious threat to the nation’s future. Terrorists and subversive organizations are given a pass, while
Obama and his parrots seek to divert our attention onto legitimate business leaders.
In an even more outlandish broadside against the American Heartland, Obama’s remarks of the past week to
Hispanics, obviously intended to generate Democratic votes by stoking resentment towards traditional America,
convey his own seditious level of hostility towards the nation, as well as that of the Liberal political establishment.
In an October 25, 2010, radio address, Obama encouraged this demographic to “punish your enemies,” whom he
plainly identified as Americans who want to secure the nation’s borders and thus maintain the integrity of the
country they love.
So, Barack Obama and his minions are perfectly willing to see the people whom they should respect as their fellow
citizens “punished” at the hands of a balkanized subculture that increasingly touts its allegiances to governing
forces outside of this nation. Of course we dare not question the “patriotism” of any who would engage in such
behavior.
To properly understand the degree to which the American political Left is twisted and perverted in its
misperception of right and wrong, consider the contrast between those whom it considers allies, including foreign
despots (Fidel Castro, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Hugo Chavez, to name a few), and the American
entrepreneurship, freedom, and traditional values which it views with unbridled hostility.
The occasional cooling of Liberal activities during waning days of this election cycle does not signal any sort of
armistice or other move towards national reconciliation. Such a show is merely an attempt at deception before the
next big offensive can be waged. The rampant vote fraud of the past few days proves how fervently the Left is
committed to winning this struggle. Is the rest of the nation up to the task of stopping them?
