The Pinocchio Party


The Democratic party accuses the Republicans of politicizing. They do this with every issue, and they’re doing it now with Benghazi. Well, if the Democratic party stands for not caring what happens to our ambassadors, for not going after terrorists because we don’t want to offend them, for lying to the American public about what’s going on in their world, then perhaps it is a political issue after all, because the people are not for any of that, and if the Democratic party is, maybe we need to make a political issue of it.

The truth is that the Democrats accuse the Republicans of all the bad things the Democrats do. This was called “projection” in your elementary psychology class. It’s quite uncanny. The Democrats refuse to accept eye witness testimony as exactly what it is. Instead, they probe for motives, and the motive they always find is that the opposition party uses every crisis, every event, to be political. If people want to preserve their second amendment rights, that’s political. No, it isn’t. It’s American. If they want to protect their soldiers and diplomats, that’s political. No, it isn’t. It’s decent. If they want to stop spending more than we have, that’s political. No, it isn’t. It’s prudent.

And oh, yes, if they don’t like this president because he doesn’t protect his military or his diplomats, because he wastes too much of our money, because he likes Muslims better than he likes us, because he’s so beholden to unions that he won’t even give the poor kids in DC permission to get out of public schools that are failing, that’s even more than politicizing, that’s racist.

Here’s a term to consider: Racialist. Just who is it who can’t get race out of their minds? Who is it who refuses to recognize our president as a person and sees him only as black? Who is it who chastises any black whose sympathies lie with conservative, republican or libertarian ideas? He’s not “down for the struggle.” We’re all supposed to be down for the same struggle in America, not be pitted against each other. Yet the Democrats, who always accuse the Republicans of divisiveness, are conducting an ongoing campaign of race, class, and gender warfare.

You don’t see it? Open your eyes. Open your ears. Allow yourself not only to hear, but to process what the party in power is doing. They’re liars. Dems have been liars ever since Bill Clinton embarrassed them by lying about Monica Lewinsky. They were cuckolded, and now, forever, they must project this lie onto the Republicans. Bush lied. (He didn’t. He was incorrect.) The Republicans lie. Well, no, they’re too old-fashioned to lie. They may fib, but they’re too proper to fabricate falsehoods from whole cloth.

Sadly for Democrats, they get their information only from a press that does not want to expose what the administration is doing. They become bewildered when they hear the truth. The media is awash with Orewellian double-think. The press has become an active participant in political propaganda. Yet the Democrats, brought up to think the “free press” is on their side, cannot believe they’re being lied to. If anything gets through that doesn’t fit the scenario the media feeds them on behalf of the government, they dismiss it. They can’t process the truth – that the administration did not protect our embassy, that they publicly and repeatedly lied about the cause to benefit the Obama presidential run, blaming it on a video no one had seen.

They are following a sweet-talking, handsome man down the path to ruin. They are enchanted. Nothing matters but helping a functional traitor destroy a country he admittedly detests. They’ll repeat the lies, lie to themselves, and worse, believe anything he says. They’ve been had.

Rescue the Democratic Party from these merciless mercenaries. Stop letting them get away with it. Call them on their high crimes and misdemeanors. Don’t worry. You won’t turn into Republicans. If you break the spell, you will revert to what you were: Democrats – liberals in the worthy, venerable meaning of the word.
