The Democratic Party?s Declaration of Dependence - Susan Stamper Brown - Page full
Once upon a time in America, and not so long ago, my dads can-do attitude toward life was common place, until liberals and their faithful following began to understand that immense and everlasting power could be bartered by peddling handouts in exchange for votes.
If liberal politicians know anything, its human nature. If you give people things they did not earn from sources from which they did not contribute, those same people will soon become dependent on whatever you give them. Add to that a bit of Machiavellian trickery to redefine those handouts into rights, and voila! You have just created a permanent voting base.
In truth, liberals simply rebranded the definition of what our founders meant when they scribed the words, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. Spinning and twisting the interpretation by suggesting unalienable rights are tangibles like health insurance, college educations, and food stamps rather than the intangibles our founders envisioned as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, liberals transformed the Declaration of Independence into a Declaration of Dependence. Before long, people bought into their lies, believing they had rights to certain entitlements simply because they breathed.
Sadly, these lies metastasized within todays Democratic Party; chock full of liberals so extreme, Blue Dogs have all but disappeared. Now the entire Democratic Party platform revolves around the dangerous and devilishly un-American idea that individuals cannot achieve success without government intervention. They are dead wrong.
That the Democratic National Convention (DNC) would ask Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren to speak at its national convention in September tells us all we need to know about the DNCs vision for America. Warrens words spoken in 2011, and so echoed in recent days by President Obama, suggesting it is impossible for Americans to attain success devoid of the federal government is an indictment on how far from the American dream they have fallen.
Ms. Warren further suggests that successful job creators are obligated to an "underlying social contract in order to pay [it] forward for the next kid who comes along, thereby ensuring future generations will never have the ability to stand on their own without the government.
