Democrats’ presidential primary debates proving to be a debacle : Comments

By David Singer, published 8/8/2019

The Democratic National Committee's (DNC) decision to exclude Fox News from hosting any of the 12 planned presidential primary debates has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Fox News.

It is a fascinating fact that every social organisation in history begun with high hopes of everlasting virtue, eventually turns rotten as the most extreme become the leaders and they drive out the moderates. These extremists are so one eyed and so convinced of moral absolutes that they instigate policies so stupid that as George Orwell once wrote, "only an intellectual could believe them."

These in turn get ousted by pragmatists more concerned with their own self aggrandisement and the financial benefits that only absolute power can bring. These political psychopaths always win because they are smarter than the theorists and much more ruthless. Eventually, without the ability to change itself from within, every social organisation reverts to the sort of oppressive tyranny that it originally opposed.

And so it is with the Democratic Party of the USA.

The Dems were once the champions of free speech but they now oppose it. They abhorred political violence and now they either look the other way or they openly promote it, as the speech from Maxine Waters urging Democrat supporters to attack Republicans in restaurants, on the streets, and in petrol stations, attests. The Dems once supported racism against blacks but now they support racism against whites. Democrats once decried McCarthyism and now they copy his smear campaign methodology.

The latest Democratic convention has become a farce. Debates are being objected to and constantly interrupted because speakers are using gender specific pronouns. Former Obama cabinet minister Julian Castro made a speech advocating for the rights of pregnant males and was greeted with whoops of joy from the Democrat audience. The lunatics have taken over the asylum. What value such bzarro opinions have to ordinary Americans is hard to see. But one thing is certain, with such opinions the Dems are looking at political suicide in the next election.
