A Brief Look At The Democrat Ideology

The term Yellow Dog Democrats is generally applied to refer to any Democrat who will vote a straight party ticket under any circumstances.

The phrase "Yellow Dog Democrat" is thought to have achieved popularity during the 1928 presidential race between Democratic candidate Al Smith and Republican candidate Herbert Hoover, when Senator J. Thomas Heflin (D-Alabama) crossed party lines and formally supported Hoover. Many Southern voters disliked several items on Smith's platform but still voted for him.

Yellow Dog Democrats was a political term applied to voters in the Southern United States who voted solely for candidates who represented the Democratic Party. The term originated in the late 19th century. These voters would allegedly "vote for a yellow dog before they would vote for any Republican". The term is now more generally applied to refer to any Democrat who will vote a straight party ticket under any circumstances.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_dog_Democrat

These are my basic overall thoughts concerning the Democrat political party. Even though I focused on one party, it is not a partisan look at one party, only to hold to a high standard the opposing Republican Party with admiration. I can, and have, criticized bitterly the Republican political party for its sins, its inaction in governing, and its political agendas that serve the needs of the political party while ignoring the true needs of the people. The reason why I have not criticized the Republican Party in these thoughts is that, I am not at present, writing about the Republican Party. But if I was to, they would not be seen in any better light. But for now, I am focused on the Democrat political party, which is a political party leading our nation into serious grave error with the help and cooperation of the present day Republican Party. To coin the phrase I heard many years ago from someone in my past, "Today's Republicans are yesteryear's Democrats". 

The Democrat party is responsible for undermining our Christian culture with anti-Christian values counter to faith. They are using the power of "the State" to enforce their values upon the masses. Ever since 1960, the Democrat party is in decline. At present time, the party has historic decline as Americans are finding their political home elsewhere. Unlike its history, the Democrat party turned into a tyrant party who impose their beliefs upon the public. They are a political party that has a trail of corruption and scandal unlike any other political party, and are collapsing into insignificance as time continues. More and more people are being frustrated with the Democrats, feel their values are not being represented, and that Christian culture is being attacked. As Democrats represent their party, not the people, not their voters, they impose their own political agenda upon the nation against the will of the people. At present they are being seen as going against the Constitution, against laws that favor other interests, and bypass Congress in important matters relating to Congressional support. Slowly over the years, but what is being more apparent, is that the Democrat party are undermining moral/Christian values, political laws, and is the political force behind dividing America; turning America against herself, and pushing agenda's not healthy for the country's future; at present, all when the world is burning because of refusing to offer leadership, support and aid, and imposing troublesome values that counter regional and international traditions. By the very nature of the ugly face of liberalism people are being deceived and forced into transforming themselves towards “the will of the government” rather than the government fulfilling “the will of the people”.

The Democrats are a political party of abortion, homosexuality, perversion, preserving poverty through economic class warfare and its miseries, same-sex marriage, anti-Christian values that promote division, hardness of heart, and death (the culture of death). Lies and scandal is the fruit of their political ambitions as they seek and labor to support their re-election over the overall needs of the American people by substituting the moral good of this nation for the political good.  

For those who claim to be Democrat because they are supporting a political party that support in helping the needy and underprivileged, is either living in the past or following a political party that is no longer exist; having abandoned these values long ago, or they are partisan, and by such, fooling themselves by living a lie. 

"Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit." (Matthew 21:43) The graces in which the Democrat party may have achieved in the past through charity and concern, for the good of the nation, is morally bankrupting our nation. As a political party, they redefined "the good of the nation" by abandoning God and separating themselves from this nation'sChristian roots that gave the existence of our country meaning, thus by reducing God to good politics. Graces coming from God built this nation and gave our nation existence meaning. It gave our county leadership, the wisdom of courage to defend the dignity of human life, and by abandoning these graces, "seeking the political good", the Democrat party, while leading people away from God; a mass exodus away from God to suit individual political agendas, are currently abandoning the very reason of our existence as a country, as a people, ordained by God.  

Decades ago before 1960, the Democrat party was a traditional pragmatic political party, but afterwards, slowly turned into an ideological party which is the first stage of eroding traditional/religious avenues which define American values; what it was to be, to be an American in support of his/her country; God and country. The dawning of a new face which defined the Democrat Party, and continues until present time, is the face of political ideology which set the agenda of the day, and manipulates voter philosophy. Behind the ideology mask that hides the real intentions of the political party, victimhood replaced personal responsibility of the individual. Ronald Reagan became Republican in 1962, and when asked why he switched political parties, he replied "I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The party left me". The transformation of the party from a pragmatic point of view towards an ideological one led the party to betray its political values and traditions; leading the party into a more intensified partisanship which foster division and discord while party loyalty decline and continues to decline to the present day. The result of this decline is the formation of an anti-Christian party imposing its anti-Christian views on the public and the legal system which is currently tearing this country apart by undermining Christian values that built this nation.

Turning “people against people” by undermining moral values, the Democrat Party has relied on “useful idiots” (a political term attributed to Vladimir Lenin. The term has not been found in any of his writings) to promote an ideological value system; divorcing themselves from a pragmatic value system that once defined the political party.

Using political means behind liberalism to promote an ideological value system, people’s freedom have been seriously compromised by the legal system to impose a liberal morality over traditional values. Not only are the liberal ideology imposed on the public at the legislative level, but also the judicial level. By winning the minds of people, they are implementing “the new morality” at the family (or societal) level. The term "The New Morality" designates a newly imposed moral system counter to Christian values elevating man to a new moral conscience which exclude God and by making mankind answerable to himself; eliminating any need for Christian standard and tradition.  

According to David R. Carlin who served 12 years in the Rhode Island Senate as a Democratic majority leader, rhetoric is being heard creating an illusion by the secularist politicians that they are against abortions except under certain circumstances, that they would like to lower the abortion rate in the United States, that their faith in God is important to them, that they represent strong families and family values, etc. The rhetoric that they speak purposely creates an illusion that they are conservative, moderately conservative, or morally conservative while they participate in creating and promoting a liberal agenda with secularist consequences. Because of their secularist and anti-religion agenda, Christians of Protestant and Catholic alike, are abandoning the party at a steady rate. Eventually the party will be a party consisting of members that are secularist and liberal Christians which abandoned their faith for political agendas; political agenda over orthodox values. More and more Christians who proudly remained with the Democrat party for years, who worked and labored hard for the advancement of the political party, and who belonged to proud Democrat families, are leaving the party because the party is turning against their religion, their religious values, and their individual rights in being Christian. As long as secularist ideologues continue to define the Democrat Party agendas and outlook on the issues, the party will continue to “slide downhill” into insignificance and risk potential harm to the United States.  

What is hurting the Democrat Party, but also other political parties and the people of the United States in general, are the political parties and people supporting liberal principles that are against orthodox Christianity, against traditional values, a redefining of American values. Liberal Christianity must feed off of orthodox Christianity; which is traditional and stable. Liberalism in its very nature is unstable; identified as a struggling identity that is championing for a better tomorrow, challenging values which are not compatible for a productive and better future, combating a past of failures and mistakes. In reality, liberalism is ever-changing with no long-standing stable characteristics which provide any stability. It must be parasitic in nature to an orthodox host of values that are stable, have given definition and meaning to the emergence of our country and her long-standing values, and is the rock of stability in our nation’s history of hard and difficult times. Without such a host of traditional and orthodox values, liberalism cannot stand and succeed. Without a common enemy in which to feed upon, it will render itself insignificant by failing to have anything to champion over, by not having a meaningful struggle which gives the ideology significance, the lack of stability it can provide in a movement that can only offer modernization and continual change without any steady and non-changing foundation in which to give it proper definition and meaning.       

According to the apparition of Fatima in Portugal in 1917, Our Lady of Fatima told the seers that the world is going astray from God, and if the world does not return back to God, errors of Russia will spread throughout the world. I believe that the errors are not only political, but also moral in nature. Due to morally bankrupting societies in the world, forms of ideologies emerge that reflect an eroding characteristic against standard traditional morality. Twentieth century liberalism is rooted in the errors of Communism in which Our Lady of Fatima prophesied in 1917.

Liberalism is a close parallel; I would call it a close relative by its core nature, which it shares with communism. Like communism, liberalism in the truest sense, has no God to guide her values by, and thus not having a God, it has no soul. Any form of government that takes place of God, creating an atheistic form of state worship, where the state becomes a god, has no soul regarding their ideology. 

Liberalism, like communism, relies on propagating propaganda to promote its Godless ideologies which serve to give meaning to its existence. Liberalism cannot rely on morally sound truth-based values to advance its cause, justify its existence, give meaning to its struggles, survive opposing criticism or compete against truth-based competition; it must rely on deceit and falsehood which often is linked with history of scandals while discrediting any opposition. Liberalism is a struggle to liberate itself from God, as it liberate itself from past moral norms. Communism is an atheistic state with atheistic ideologies made up with atheistic philosophy that guide her. Communism parallels liberalism in a sense that, it defines what is acceptable by "the State" and reject what is deemed not acceptable. Liberalism, as communism, by nature is hostile to opposing objection as it redefines what is acceptable and what will be rejected. Liberalism and communism both propagate propaganda that it represent the common interest of the populace (the population), yet by doing so, a small elite dictate its belief over the masses without process of due democracy; without representation of the people.  

Liberalism must have an enemy to survive. It cannot stand on its own and justify and give meaningful productive rise to its own values and creeds. It must feed from a host of opposing viewpoints, villainize  or silence its opposition, and scapegoat others into blame. Liberalism and its ideologies must have a struggle to give itself meaning or cause. There must be a liberating factor to justify its existence, a struggle to overcome. Without the struggle aspect, what is there to be liberated from in the context of liberal ideologies? When the struggles are outdated due to technological advancement or winning of minds on certain issues, it must evolve into another struggle, often reinventing a struggle to find meaning. Without the struggling aspect, liberalism has no meaning and no reason to exist. Yet, they have to promise deliverance, promise a better future, and deceive the populace into believing the struggle is worth the sacrifice and deliverance attainable. But in reality, quite the opposite is true, the sacrifice is unbearable and deliverance unattainable. 

The antithesis to freedom and democracy, the will of the people and traditional-orthodoxal values, is liberalism in its truest sense. Liberal ideological values and the values of Christianity prove restrictive and incompatible toward each other. Liberalism, as in communism, are both cut from the same cloth in the sense that being incompatible with Christianity, is in direct conflict with true sense of charity (love of neighbor), and if given the chance, will oppose the Church and her teachings to the point of intolerance leading to persecution. By its very parasitic nature, it must feed from a host, an enemy that it opposes giving rise to their ideological meaning. As scandal and deceit plagued the Democrat party and its politics as it moved away from a pragmatic form of values, adopting an ideological value base, scandals and deceit became a norm in governing; since President Clinton's presidential tenure, scandals and deceit increased among its liberal members along with strategies in dealing with this evil. At present, looking at any presidential tenure and its administration, President Obama and his administration is by far, more scandalous and deceitful, resulting in scapegoating innocent citizens, imposing restrictions on Freedom of Religion clause in the American Constitution, forcing people of religion to violate their religious conscience, violating and threatening individual constitutionally protected freedoms and liberties, and continually violating Constitutional Congressional laws. President Obama and his administration are the most liberal governing force in American history with its members, including President Obama himself, having been involved or being presently involved in radical revolutionary beginnings tied directly to Marxism, atheistic values, promotion of redefining American values, dismantling traditional America and eventually the world in replacing it with Marxism, promotion of anti-Christian values and anti-Christian morality as a norm, and sharing an interest in advancing a systematic elimination of human beings they see as being an opposition to their liberal utopias and goals. The fruit of liberalism has been scandal and deceit. Liberalism in its truest form has proven to offer poisonous fruit with toxic effects. As far as presidential tenures show, President Bill Clinton and President Obama, the most liberal Presidents in American history, have been directly involved with the greatest amount of scandals while using deceit to deflect blame and accountability.              

Charity -vs- liberalism (to be developed further at a later time)

Boko Haram, an African terror group aligned with ISIS and Al Qaeda, spreading fear and terror against Christians and Jews, seeking to convert the world to a radicalized form of Islam under the penalty of death, has been wreaking havoc for a long time to present. Nigeria requested help from the United States for help to control Boko Haram but was refused by the Obama administration. According to Bishop Emmanuel Badejo of Oyo in Nigeria, "The United States actually said it would help Nigeria with Boko Haram only if we modify our laws concerning homosexuality, family planning and birth control."
