Where Are the Bill Kristols and Michael Steeles on the Democrat Side Today?

"Democrats and Republicans are not flip sides of the same coin."

The American Spectator  

"And the Democrats aren’t political adversaries anymore. They’re now enemy agents. And they’re not quiet about it. Act accordingly, and vote these bastards down as best you can, because your country is at stake."

Uncle Paul's Parodies

. . . "The outgoing leadership cadre in the Democrat Party has certainly run itself into the ground. There is little question in that. You can’t look at a single leader among the modern Democrat Party who offers new ideas or approaches or even differs with the orthodoxy in any real respect." . . .

…and this is the new breed of Democrat. It’s now a party made up of people who don’t even bother to hold down a job (James Talarico, for example, makes $80,000 a year as a DEI consultant on top of the $14,000 per year the Texas Senate pays him), who absolutely hate people who do, who choose Palestinian terrorists over Israeli farmers and music fans, who think Somali welfare pirates must be protected at all costs and can’t be sent home, and openly take the side of Iranian mullahs over American servicemen.

"Never in American history has a more loathsome and revolutionary political faction existed. The pro-slavery Democrats of the mid-19th century were fundamentally wrong in many respects, with slavery obviously first and foremost among those, but at least they hewed to some of the spirit of the founding of the country, and the structure and mission of the Confederate government were somewhat recognizable as an American idea.

"But this? Mamdani, Chevalier, Nithya Raman, the odious Janeese George, who’ll soon be the mayor of Washington, D.C.?

"It’s very much a foreign occupation of our big blue cities by a class of people with values that are largely irreconcilable with those of the rest of the country." . . .
