BANKRUPTCY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, U.S.A.:
UNDERSTANDING TODAY'S DEMOCRATS
By Christopher G. Adamo
AMERICAN POLITICS, POLITICAL PARTIES, ELECTIONS, & THE NATIONAL INTEREST: THE AMERICAN POLITICAL
LEFT & THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, U.S.A. -- THE RESULTS OF THE NOVEMBER 7, 2006, CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS & THE
GRAVE DANGER AMERICA FACES FROM IMPENDING DECISIONS & ACTIONS OF THE U.S. CONGRESS UNDER THE CONTROL
OF LEFTWING LIBERAL DEMOCRATS -- THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A CABAL OF LIBERAL LEFTIST IDEOLOGUES &
POLITICAL OPPORTUNISTS WHO WILL DO GREAT HARM TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY & GENERAL WELFARE OF THE U.S.A.
-- THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A PARTY BANKRUPT OF RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP & WORTHY GUIDING PRINCIPLES
FULL STORY:
It might seem excessive to invoke a term as a harsh as “bankrupt” to
characterize the nature of the modern Democratic Party, and, thus, it is a tall
order to defend that description. Yet, from the opening to the closing pages
of his new book, Bankrupt: The Intellectual and Moral Bankruptcy of
Today's Democratic Party (Regnery Publishing, 2006), best selling
author David Limbaugh incontrovertibly makes just such a case.
With the depth of thoroughness for which Limbaugh has become well known (he has
previously authored two best-sellers), he pursues an all-encompassing
examination of the blinding lust for power that totally consumes the
American political Left. This latest work affords the reader with not only an
insightful current analysis of today’s Democrats, but the scope of research
with which it is written will make this book a veritable library of resource
material for years to come.
In what may have been a valiant effort to avert disaster by forewarning the
American public as to the dangers it would face with the U.S. Congress controlled
by the Democratic Party, Bankrupt was released a few months prior to the
November 7, 2006, congressional elections. Of course, America did not listen,
and the country now faces at least two years of languishing in the “wilderness”
under the corrosive influence of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid.
Yet, far from rendering this work futile, the current grim circumstances
cause the importance of reading Limbaugh’s book to be more, and not less, of
a necessity.
Though America would not heed his clarion call, the gravity of the
consequences about which he forewarned make it essential to thoroughly
understand the dark, Liberal Leftist forces that now dominate our nation’s
government. In order for conscientious Americans with heartfelt concerns for
the country and its future to be intellectually armed, this book is an
absolute must.
During the past few days, the nightly news has been replete with alarming
stories regarding the possible pursuit of Democrats’ radical and
unquestioningly Leftist ideology, followed shortly by the total refutation
of any intention to implement those policies. In some cases, the necessity
for “damage control” has been so acute that notable Democratic Party mouthpieces are
being employed to counter any claims of an ultra-Liberal, Leftwing radical agenda being
promoted by the Democrats.
None other than Nancy Pelosi herself has had to officially deny rumors that
the Democrat-controlled Congress will now press forward with plans to
impeach the President. Ditto for “cut and run,” threats of reinstituting the
draft, and Hillary’s twisted dreams of socialized “health care.” The number
of such proposals that have been floated in the past few days, only to be
hastily renounced and abandoned, is truly surprising. But it is also
revealing.
Democrats are slowly coming to the painful realization that being an
opposition party, which merely catcalls and criticizes those who are
actually governing, is far easier than being a leadership party that must
formulate and implement ideas, and which is henceforth held accountable for
them. For the past several years, Democrats have basked in the luxury of
“Monday morning quarterbacking,” without ever needing to present substantive
alternatives to the Republican actions they relentlessly attack.
With seemingly prophetic accuracy, David Limbaugh made his case prior to the
elections that this is exactly the realm in which the Democratic Party
operates. Yet, his insight was not the product of political clairvoyance, but
rather the result of a meticulous case built from an enormous and thoroughly
researched database of partisan Democratic commentary.
By their own words, Limbaugh establishes the Democratic Party as a cabal of
political animals, devoid of any interest other than their own advancement
within the power structure of government.
Admittedly it is a severe indictment, but one which he willingly and capably
supports. From the terror war, to the decimation of the courts (and thus,
the U.S. Constitution), to the manipulation of the electorate through such
abominable means as “race baiting,” Limbaugh portrays a Democratic Party with
the potential to inflict enormous harm on the nation.
And this is by no means a comprehensive list. The topics mentioned here give
but a glimpse into the wealth of information and analysis contained in
Bankrupt.
Hopefully, a sufficient number of Americans will read his book and become
informed as to the dangers they face in the hands of the upcoming Congress.
Only by so doing can the disastrous consequences of shortsighted and
self-serving behavior, now the core of the modern Democratic Party, be
averted.
Perhaps, if enough people become so informed, and word gets out to a
sufficient degree between now and 2008, the advancement of Liberalism
through abominable and fraudulent tactics can be stopped in its tracks in
the next election, and thereby neutralized for the foreseeable future.
The “earthquake” that engulfed Capitol Hill after Election Day, and the
current resulting chaos and confusion that is the “new order” there, clearly
proves the Democrats to be bankrupt of any worthy guiding principles. For
a comprehensive education as to what is really going on within the bowels of
the Democratic Party, David Limbaugh's Bankrupt is essential reading.
