Whatever happened to Democrats like Harry Truman, Scoop Jackson and JFK? Not that any of those guys would recognize their old party these days. In 2016 the dems are offering up three candidates that are so comically unqualified to be president they make the less than inspiring slate of Republicans look like the second coming of George Washington, John Adams and Abe Lincoln.
What the donkeycrats have to offer this time around is two geriatric broken down has beens and a younger doofus who's only claim to fame is having been one of the worst mayors of the second worst city in the country. And, when he finished with Baltimore, Martin O'Malley took his "magic" to Annapolis for a forgettable stint as governor of Maryland. All of this hardly matters since he barely rates an asterisk in Democratic polls. No need to worry that he'll get his mitts on our ship of state. Hillary Clinton, as of this writing, seems to be the odds on favorite to win the Democratic nomination if she isn't indicted for any number of crimes involving her unsecured state department email account and criminal activity by the Clinton Foundation. She and her minions feel entitled to the presidency based on the fact that she is a woman who couldn't possibly do a worse job than a man. Wanna bet? Just for the record, this woman had so little integrity that she faked more than forty years of looking the other way while her old man was doing the horizontal mambo with everything in a skirt. The young intern playing "Bobbing for Bubba" in the oval office was okay by her as long as hound dog Billy promised to help her become the second President Clinton. All of this proving that chicanery of this magnitude reinforces the political maxim that the quality of one's compromises is more important than the correctness of one's position. This morally bankrupt harridan actually believes that she is entitled to the presidency and will stop at nothing to get the gig.
Getting the gig is tough this time around when you have an avowed socialist running for the nomination while promising to provide the electorate with bon bon trees, income "equality", free college and, in general, a government willing to pay whatever it takes to buy your vote. (A leader willing to rob Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the steadfast support of Paul.) Bernie Sanders is a socialist. The guy honeymooned in the former Soviet Union! Can you imagine trying to explain to Harry Truman that his party has a 74 year-old Brooklyn born Jewish socialist who loves getting cozy with commies in serious contention for the nomination?! This guy has no shame. Somehow always managing to look like he just arrived from an explosion at the Salvation Army, Bernie appears all over the primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire promising to end "income inequality" with a jumbo sized horn o' plenty loaded with government goodies purchased with money the government doesn't have and WON'T have but will gladly put on your grandchildren's credit card.
Of course Hillary and Marty have jumped on the income inequality bandwagon too. It's easy to prey on the stupidity of any adult who really finds something amiss in the fact that a doctor or president of a major company makes more money than the vice president in charge of rags at the neighborhood car wash. Here's a news flash for those morons: YOU'RE ONLY WORTH AS MUCH AS SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PAY YOU! If you want to make $25 million a year playing baseball, you'd better be good enough for the owner of the team to have money left over after handing you your paycheck. Lots of us can mop floors, wash cars and carry out groceries; that's why those jobs don't pay well. Positions of that caliber are not supposed to be careers. They are stepping stones to aspirational occupations that bring higher pay as a reward for skills that are in demand. Nobody hands out good paying jobs. You must work hard for them and develop the required expertise to do them well. America was built on this premise; not free college and "equal" pay.
A man of great wisdom, Shelby Steele, summed up the philosophy of today's Democratic party rather well when he said, "Liberalism in the 21st Century is, for the most part, a moral manipulation that exaggerates inequity and unfairness in American life in order to justify overreaching public policies and programs."
Winston Churchill said it even better: "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of the misery."
These pipsqueak candidates can keep their campaigns of division and envy. America needs a Winston Churchill in 2016.
