“WHERE HAVE ALL THE DEMOCRATS GONE?” HELP ME, I CANNOT FIND THEM. THEY ALL
SEEM TO BE LOST. WHEN I REGISTERED TO VOTE MANY YEARS AGO I REGISTERED
DEMOCRAT. IN FACT, I VOTED FOR JIMMY CARTER. (WHEW, I’M GLAD I GOT THAT OFF MY
CHEST!) OVER THE YEARS THE RADICAL CHANGES THAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY HAS CAUSED ME TO CHANGE REGISTRATION. I DON’T KNOW IF ANYONE NOTICED
BUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOT THE PARTY OF F.D.R. OR YOUR GRANDPARENTS
ANYMORE. IT SEEMS THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PARTY HAS EVOLVED INTO A CULMINATION
OF WACKY LEFT-WING ORGANIZATIONS WITH SELF-MOTIVATED AGENDAS. AMONG THEM ARE
ABORTIONISTS, GUN BANNING ORGANIZATIONS, ENVIRONMENTAL AND ANIMAL RIGHTS
EXTREMISTS, GAY AND LESBIAN TASK FORCES, AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION,
AMERICAN TRIAL LAWYERS ASSOCIATION, ANTI-TOBACCO GROUPS AND MANY MANY MORE
WITH A SELF MOTIVATED OR ANTI-AMERICAN GRIPE. THESE LEFT-WING ORGANIZATIONS
GIVE SUPPORT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY VOTES TO DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS WHO IN TURN
GIVE THESE FRINGE GROUPS THE LEGISLATION THEY NEED TO PROCREATE THEIR AGENDAS.
JUST THINK ABOUT IT, IN ORDER TO GET THE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEEDS,
IT PLACES THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AT RISK. I DO
BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT WHO MAKES UP THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTY ARE GOOD HARD
WORKING PEOPLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE NATIONAL PARTY HAS ONLY ONE GOAL IN MIND
AND THAT IS TO DISMANTLE THE BUSH PRESIDENCY AT ALL COSTS FOR THE NEXT
ELECTION CYCLE. DO ALL THE PROTESTERS AND DEMOCRATIC TALKING HEADS OUT THERE
REALLY BELIEVE THAT BUSH WANTS WAR? NOBODY WANTS WAR! I’M CONFIDENT THAT THE
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION HAS THE BEST, BRIGHTEST AND MOST EXPERIENCED PEOPLE
AVAILABLE. I ASK YOU, WHO HAS THE MOST ACCESSIBILITY TO THE WORLD INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY, PRESIDENT BUSH OR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN? IT SEEMS
IRONIC THAT DEMOCRATS, OUR OWN PEOPLE, ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH DISARMING
LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS WITH LEGALLY OWNED FIREARMS AND A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT
TO BEAR THEM, THAN DISARMING A MURDEROUS MADMAN WITH UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, WHO ALONG WITH HIS ALLIES ARE BENT ON ENDING THE
AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. I ONLY HAVE ONE MORE THOUGHT TO MY LIBERAL-MINDED
FRIENDS: “A HOUSE DIVIDED WILL EVENTUALLY FALL.” WHERE HAVE ALL THE REAL
DEMOCRATS GONE? Robert Agostini
