Dr. Sanity minces no words
Dr. Sanity is writing on the Left and its Totalitarian Dream, using as a take-off point Senator Ted Kennedy’s offer “to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan,” and ABC’s willingness to participate in the project to help the USSR against Reagan and the United States:
What interests me is the transformation of the Democratic Party into a tool that every major enemy of this country–from the North Vietnamese, to the Soviets, to the Syrians all the way up to the present day– has been able to use to advance their objectives at the expense of America. As Feldman notes, this does indeed give new meaning to the term “opposition party”….
How easily they deceived themselves (if it was deception at all) into thinking that they had more in common with the communist party leadership of the USSR than with the duly elected president of the U.S. How easily people like John Kerry supported and enabled the dictators of North Vietnam. Is it any susrprise at all that today, in our war on terror, that this same political party and the same deluded base that animates them see the terrorists as the oppressed victims and the US as the evil oppressors?…
And the U.S. has NEVER been the “good guy” from their point of view. This rather incredible consistency on their part demonstrates a dedication and committment to the principles of tyranny, as well as both a hatred for this country and an unquenchable lust for power, that is difficult to imagine could originate in the heart of any American–let alone elected representatives of this country.

The corruption of the Democratic Party was inevitable. Once FDR decided the purpose of government was to rule, rather than referee, their fate was determined. They’re now dominated by the sort of people for whom power is an end in itself, and committed themselves to the values they currently espouse:
- The end justifies the means.
- Party before country.
- Power before principle.
- “Humanity” before human beings.
Their self-interest and amorality don’t make them strong – they makes them a rag on the wind, available for anyone, including their enemies, to pick up and use. I just wish I wasn’t seeing signs of the same transformation in the Republican Party. Thank God for the few principled men we still have devoting themselves to governing.

Yes, Dr. S. has been really nailing it lately.
