Why Democrats Lost through the
eyes of a Democrat
December 5, 2004 -Tri-County Times
By Foster Childs
The devil you know, or the devil you don't. That's how many John Kerry
supporters explained their defeat in the 2004 election.
Democrats appear to be genuinely astounded that they didn't win. Many blame
their loss on the Republican party's ability to present itself as representing
people of moral values. Clearly that astounds them. "How could we be perceived as
the party without values?" they ask.
As one who embraced many Democratic principles as recently as the election of
2000, allow me to answer.
Laura Bush has personified elegance and class as America's First Lady for four
years. The Democratic party countered with a vulgar, foulmouthed, brazen
billionaire with the grace of a drunken hooker. Teresa Heinz-Kerry insulted
every mother in America when she snidely stated in an interview that "I doubt
Laura Bush has ever held a real job." I can't envision a more ill-suited
candidate to represent our country as First Lady.
To most Americans Ted Kennedy is a philandering, has-been alcoholic whose money
and influence allowed him to get away with murder. To the Democratic party,
Kennedy is their esteemed elder statesman.
The Democratic party's most vocal spokesperson is Michael Moore, an arrogant ass
who holds America, and Americans, in utter contempt. He delights in telling the
French and Germans how stupid we are. He mocks our military. He insults our
president. His "Joe Average" persona is as bogus as the "facts" in his
slanted books and movies. Most Americans despise him as a traitor and a slob.
Yet, at the Democratic National Convention Moore was afforded the most honored
seat in the house-right alongside former president Jimmy Carter.
Most Americans view gay men and women as simply fellow citizens who should be
afforded the same respect as any other citizen. The Democratic party views gay
men and women as a minority whose perceived "rights" should supercede the
established tenets that have governed society since the beginning of time.
The majority of America understands that we must take a stand against terrorism,
that terrorists are the essence of pure evil, that terrorists will always hate
America and Americans, no matter what we do. The Democratic party seems to
believe that if we just turn the other cheek they will go away. Their mantra of
"wrong war, wrong place, wrong time" smacks of pacifism.
Most Americans would find an adult male who wears makeup, high heels, a wig and
women's clothing to his workplace as not just creepy, but deeply disturbing. The
Democratically controlled California legislature passed a law providing fines up
to $150,000 for any employer who fires a man for showing up to work dressed as a
woman. Every Democrat cast a yes vote.
To most of America the entertainment industry is comprised primarily of
dull-witted, self-absorbed twits who, under the guise of "artistic expression,"
fill our living rooms and our children's brains with an endless parade of
depraved garbage. The vociferous Tinsel-town endorsement of John Kerry merely
confirmed what most of America already knows - the Democratic party reflects
Hollywood's moral values, not America's.
The consensus by Republicans, and a surprising number of Democrats, is near
unanimous - the Democratic party is in ruins because they have chosen to align
themselves with all that is wrong in America. They mock people of faith. They
endorse special-interest agendas that tear apart the fabric of our Constitution,
They embrace race-baiting opportunists like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. The
support wacko organizations such as the ACLU. And, worst of all, they offer
America heroes - as people to emulate, as role-models for our children -
shameless charlatans like Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore and Bill Clinton.
The answer to the question is very simple: The Democratic party is perceived as
the party without moral values because they are the party without moral values.
And, as shown on November 2nd, the majority of America is finally realizing it.
