Is the DLC the Neocon's Trojan Horse? |
|
There have been too many 'changes' in the Democratic party over the last decade for it to be a simple coincidence. Some would say that American politics has always been this way...the 'art' of compromise. But never in recent history have we witnessed the wholesale giveaways and concessions of our party's principles and values by those who say they have our best interests in mind.
Has a 'Trojan Horse' been sent into our party in the guise of a gift of compromise? I submit that the DLC is the Neocon's Trojan Horse...sent into our camp to destroy us when our guard is down. What better way to weaken the resolve of the opposition than infiltrating their camp and luring them to be suspicious of each other and doubt their own beliefs and principles?
We are now confronted with a new breed of Corporate politician. They pretend to represent the Democratic base...but consistently vote for legislation and laws in direct conflict to their party's (and America's) interests and needs. Unnecessary wars. Tax cuts and corporate welfare for the wealthy. Patriot Act(s). Cutbacks or elimination of social programs. Blending the church with the state. Ignoring blatant civil rights abuses. Disregard for international laws and treaties. The list goes on and on.
This Trojan Horse wants you to doubt why you became a Democrat in the first place. They want you to be suspicious of liberals and progressives who warn you that the Trojan Horse is just a ploy by the enemies of Democracy. They would have you believe that they're selling out the party for the good of the party.
We may not have the power to remove this Trojan Horse from our party. But that doesn't mean we have to believe their lies and fall for their deceptions. Ignore the Neocon's Trojan Horse and be a Democrat. Don't let them deceive you into doubting what you can see with your own eyes. Be a Democrat who demands good and honest government from both parties. Put ethics and responsibility before winning at all costs. Ignore the Trojan Horse sent by the Elephant to weaken and divide us.
