Something has gone wrong with the Democratic Party. There was a day when Democrats and Republicans held out the same goals for our country, but disagreed on how to reach them. There was a day – as recently as the administration of President John F. Kennedy – when the two parties could unite against a common enemy like Communism.

Those days are over.

Maybe it was Vietnam. Maybe it was Watergate. Maybe it was the left-wing candidacy of George McGovern. But whatever the tipping point was, today’s Democratic Party has turned mean and evil. Today’s Democrats don’t just just want to defeat their political opponents; they want to destroy them. They smear conservatives, take them to court, get them indicted, and allege that they are conducting “wars” on every conceivable group of people.

Today’s Democrats are liars.

This is not to say that the Party’s rank-and-file are all bad people. We are talking about the Democrats that are in charge – the ones you see as talking heads on TV and the ones that create a lot of the policies such as Obamacare that have caused the American people so much grief and heartache.

If you’re one of those folks who think it’s the other way around, you may be astonished to read this. Here’s the truth: You’ve been had! Democrats practice something called “misdirection.” It works like a magician who focuses your attention where he wants it to be while he pulls off his magic trick elsewhere. Similarly, Democrats call attention away from the fact they are harming this country by focusing on the lies they tell about others.

Bill Clinton was a master at political misdirection; Obama is even better.

Take the case of Mitt Romney who is a quintessential American success story. Yes, Romney has become very wealthy off of the free market system. He had some good ideas for this country – certainly better ideas than Obama had. But as the election drew closer, and President Obama’s policies were failing, Democrats attacked Romney.

They told many lies about him that were never challenged in any major way by the mainstream media or by the Romney campaign. So while the “recovery” was plodding along, unemployment was up, the national debt was out of control, more people were on welfare, and the new Affordable Healthcare Act was massively unpopular, Obama was reelected because – “Mitt Romney was out of touch with the American people.”

Romney was well-off, but Democrats made him seem like a space alien who came here to take away their money and give it to the rich.

They even accused him of cruelty to his dog for taking the dog on vacation in a crate atop the family car, and for the death of a woman whose husband had been laid off. They assassinated the character of a man who had created thousands of jobs through entrepreneurism, while their own record of job creation was a total disaster.

This is unethical and it is mean. But today, we simply call it “politics.”

The Democrats get away with it because Republicans can’t or won’t or… read more here
