Listen to What the Flower Children Say
Victor Davis Hanson knows what's wrong with the Democrats:
I rather think their rhetoric and goals have not changed fundamentally since Harry Dexter White last betrayed Harry Truman on behalf of Uncle Joe Stalin, myself. Perhaps if the schools weren't too busy teaching kids to cook meth and roll rubbers over erect fruit more future Democrats would have read and understood Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "1984".
Whoops, then they wouldn't be future Democrats, would they?
Keep cooking up the rock and paging through the kama sutra, kids---we need you zonked out and producing wards of the state for the forseeable future.
At least until we can import more leftists, that is.
We are in unsure times amid a controversial war. Yet the American people are not swayed by the universities, the major networks, the New York Times, Hollywood, the major foundations, and NPR. All these bastions of doctrinaire liberal thinking have done their best to convince America that George W. Bush, captive to right-wing nuts and Christian fanatics, is leading the country into an abyss. In fact, a close look at a map of red/blue counties nationwide suggests that the Democrats are in deepening trouble.
Why? In a word, Democratic ideology and rhetoric have not evolved from the 1960s, although the vast majority of Americans has — and an astute Republican leadership knows it.

I can't tell you how many times I've thought about Animal Farm during the last few years, totally knowing the Left are a bunch of "pigs". We were read this book by a bashful nun, Sr. Sybil. I made it my mission to make her smile cause she was really pretty when she did, which wasn't often. What a fantastic book. I've read it a couple of times since, but can't capture the same feelings or pictures in my head. I personally know a few sheep, too. they bleat, "Four legs good, two legs better. Four legs good, two legs..." Oh, whoops, that's only the media!! Thank you.
The frustrating thing is that the Left has not updated any of its philosophy or approaches despite the utter monstrous failure of commmunism and the welfare state.
The same stale arguments ("The Government ought to do something", "If it helps only one child...", "They can afford to give more---haven't they gotten more?") get recycled all the time, the same empty promises get made, and by the time they come up with nothing (again), are repeated.
It's hard not to agree that H.L. Mencken had it right all along when it came to the American public.
A large chunk of it, anyway.
