NOT YOUR FATHER’S PARTY – WND.com
In 1936, prior to German boxing champ Max Schmelings first fight with the up-and-coming Joe Louis, Max was watching a movie of Louis in the ring. I sink I see somesing! said the German. He noticed that Louis had a habit of lowering his left hand after a left jab.
That observation paid off big for Schmeling, who crashed across with a match-winning right-hand blow that rendered Louis unable to continue.
Now I sink I see somesing far more important than any boxing match.
I think I see a way for the Republicans to land a blow that will eviscerate the Democrats by causing massive defections in their ranks.
This bit of background explains why this idea chose me to connect with. I didnt meet my first Republican until the age of 25! But thats not amazing if you grew up in North Carolina in the era when Republicans were very rare.
The Democrats you met were fine, normal, wonderful people salt of the earth, oregano of the universe. They worked hard, played fair, attended church, supported the Boy- and the Girl Scouts and the Red Cross, went uncomplainingly to fight in World Wars, aided the poor and obeyed laws. The men didnt beat their wives and did not knowingly associate with those who did, and they lived praiseworthy lives keynoted by what we now call traditional values.
The lives of all those Democrats I grew up with were light-years away from todays Schumerites and Pelosicrats.
Wars have been won when military intelligence learns the enemy is weak around the middle. Thats Step-1 in divide-and-conquer. They may never think of it. They may not realize it. They may want to slap you or slug you if you bring it up. But never mind that.
The majority of those who call themselves Democrats may not be Democrats at all!
Theres a chasm separating those who run the Democrat machinery and the Democrats I grew up with. That chasm is wide and tempting.
The Republicans should get busy and find a polite way to ask the millions of Democratic voters, Are you sure youre still a Democrat?
The Republicans should then utilize the ways and means of letting most of them know theyre not!
Former Democratic presidents, like President John F. Kennedy, would not be allowed to speak at Democratic Conventions these days. Abortion! Contraceptives handed out to high school students! Government-run medicine! Fuhgeddaboudit!
Are you going to tell me theres a similarity of political DNA linking todays leading Democrats and the likes of Scoop Jackson, Hubert Humphrey, Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson? Shake the tree of Democratic discontent and dodge all the nice falling fruit.
Theres no need for secrecy. Take the provable truths only theres no need to fabricate or exaggerate. Take those truths, put it all out there, spread it around and pound it home.
Are you sure youre still a Democrat? is the question. Reagan gave us a good quote, namely, I didnt leave the Democratic Party. The party left me! Then, using media, town halls, word of mouth, everything short of carrier pigeons, lay out, as comic Jimmy Durante used to say, da conditions dat prevail!
Hillary Clinton offers a nice contrast between the Democratic Party that once attracted them and todays conditions that prevail. The leading Democrats today apparently hate Trump more than they love Americans. Weve got every kind of falsification of government figures twisted to make the Obama crowd look not-so-bad. Weve even got falsification of temperature data to make climate change seem more plausible. Weve got Loretta Lynch and her sneaky airport visit with Bill Clinton. Weve got Debbie Wasserman Schultz greasing the skids for Hillary who, without the cheating, may well have lost the Democratic nomination to a socialist independent.
Weve got the attempted flood of Mideast refugees who could have been much better served by American support of safe zones. Weve got hostility against Israel (the only democracy between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific Ocean), plus Susan Ross, John Podestas emails alongside Hillarys, rock-solid obstruction of all Trump initiatives, breathtaking quotes from the DNC team of Perez and Ellison. One of our talking points can be just one word Chicago!
The Vietnam War could have ended much earlier if the arrogant peace movement in America, instead of denouncing those who joined them late, had taken the position of Welcome, Brother!
The GOP should praise the Democratic Party of old. And let this huge mass of Democrats-by-Amnesia know theyre not being attacked. Theyre being reminded. The Happy-Days-Are-Here-Again Democratic Party has tectonically shifted. Maybe millions of you would be more comfortable as Republicans today.
This initiative needs no funding, no meetings, no RNC committee approval.
Hey there, Brother. Theres a good possibility you belong with us!
Are you sure youre still a Democrat?
Asking people if theyre sure theyre what they most likely are is not a static absurdity. It once was unthinkable to ask someone, Are you sure youre female? No more! Rodney Dangerfield once said the most romantic thing a woman ever said to him in bed is Are you sure youre not a cop?
Its much nicer and possibly nation-saving to ask, Are you sure youre still a Democrat?
