The word “Democrat” is sure misleading. You would think that a “Democrat” might embrace — I’m going out on a limb here — democracy. However, as Kurt Schlichter points out in a recent column, they embrace a lot of things… but democracy is not one of them. He writes:
Democrats seem to think that foreigners who violate our laws have a greater right to determine what will be America’s laws than actual Americans. After all, that’s their argument when they whine because some illegal is getting shipped back to his Third World hellhole-of-origin. They seem to think that just because some uninvited, unwanted, unlegal trespasser (we’re not supposed to call them “illegal,” right?) has been violating our laws for an exceptionally long period of time makes his offense less offensive. Huh? That’s like saying getting slugged in the gut once is a no-no, but being pounded in the pancreas a couple dozen times is cool.
We citizens expressed what we wanted through our representatives – remember that “I’m Just a Bill” cartoon? We didn’t want people we didn’t invite in to be in. But apparently what we want – and what our elected representatives enacted into law and the president signed – doesn’t count because the people who blew off our laws, who disrespected us and our country by sneaking in, want something else. And the Democrats side with them against Americans.
He then goes on to suggest a new slogan for 2018: “The Democrats: What you want doesn’t matter. What the guy who snuck in here from Guatemala wants does.”
Exactly. So-called Democrats don’t try to change public opinion or elect politicians who agree with them and can change the laws. That would require actual work. Instead, they just do what they want and use the courts to circumvent the will of the people.
So, I wish they had a more accurate name. Schlichter suggests, “Dictatorcrats,” which I could get behind. But the best part of his column is when he says that the “elites” have had their chance at changing this nation, and they’ve utterly failed.
“Regular Americans didn’t give us Obamacare. They didn’t give us Wall Street’s pillaging of the middle class – we all have to give the money guys our retirement savings to play with because they made sure interest rates were a big .1 percent and it’s our only option if we don’t want to spend our golden years dining on Alpo,” he writes. “You elitists think you’re elite? Start proving it. Scratch that. You had your chance, and you failed.”
It’s time to return the power to the people — and the best way to do that is through a Convention of States.
