Crush Liberalism

Democrats’ own platform calls for socialism

From RCP:

The Democrats have titled their party platform, “Renewing America’s Promise.”

A more honest and accurate title would be, “We’ll Give You More.”

The soul of the Democratic philosophy is summed up in this passage from the platform: “For decades, Americans have been told to act for ourselves, by ourselves, on our own. Democrats reject this recipe for division and failure.“

Their own words, my friends.  Not only do Ted Kennedrunk and the Hilldawg openly engage in a war on individualism, but their party has codified that sentiment into its platform.  Only government can make things right in your life, because you’re just too stupid to do it for yourself.  Continuing:

Note the disdain for the ethos of self-responsibility. Democrats do not merely regard it as insufficient. Instead they regard the idea that people should provide for themselves as divisive.

Even more significantly, Democrats regard self-responsibility as a “recipe for failure.” In other words, Democrats don’t think the American people are capable of making it on their own.

And so, Democrats have a government program for, well, everything.

Democrats want government to help you raise your kids, send them to college, train and retrain for a job, buy a home and save for retirement.

They must be saving the burial assistance program for 2012.

If you want an abortion or want to keep the child (or in Obama’s case, you want to kill the child – Ed.), it doesn’t matter.

Democrats want taxpayers to help pay for it either way.

Indeed they do.  Marx would be proud, were he not roasting in Hell right now.
