12. The reason for this thread is that government school grads are not appraised of the Leftward plummet by the once-American party, the Democrats. When
Obama openly acknowledged affection for Communist psychopath, Mao Zedong, some dunce actually compared Nixon to Obama.
“You neglected to pay homage to the GOP's Richard Nixon, the man who opened the door and allowed China to enter the Western world. He actually met and paid homage to Mao.”
A Christmas Celebration For Democrats
Of course, the comparison is nonsense, the pretense we find in Democrat flacks.
These are the predecessors of today’s Democrats:
A few years after Port Huron, its organization’s offshoot and legitimate heir, the Weathermen, organized the Days of Rage riots in Chicago. At a subsequent “War Council,” Tom Hayden led the Weathermen in “a workout of karate jabs and kicks” for a “strenuous fifteen minutes” in preparation for armed struggle.
Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties, “ p. 96
Port Huron’s professions of love and brotherhood turned to rage and attack when society would not accept ‘brotherhood’ on SDS’s terms. But when the country refused to second their emotions—
when the country elected President Nixon in 1968 and again, by larger margins, in 1972—the SDS grew bitter and increasingly alienated from the cause of democratic reform.
SDS grew from 600 in 1963 to over 100,000 in 1968…but fell apart by 1969, finally many hostile factions, until there remained only a small
group of Maoists. It is interesting to compare them to the disciplined and programmed ‘Old Left,’ the Communist Party.
Today, they are called the ‘Democrat Party.’
“In turning viciously on stalwarts of the Cold War era like Lyndon B. Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, and Scoop Jackson, anti-war insurgents called into question the Democratic Party's underlying commitment to challenging Communist expansion. The party's Vietnam-era drift away from issues of security and defense—and its
association with a radical left hostile to the military and neutral in the fight between liberalism and communism—helped push a lot of Americans who didn't much like the Vietnam War into the arms of Richard Nixon…the 2006 Connecticut primary points to
the growing influence within the party of leftists unmoved by the fight against global jihad.” Jacob Weisberg in ‘Slate’
Why Lamont's victory spells Democratic disaster.
The Democrats became communists, and the Communists hated Nixon.
And Nixon hated Communists…..including one Mao Zedong.
The same cannot be said of Hussein Obama.
