BREITBART: Know thy enemy: This is not your mother's Democratic Party
Democrats invest - with taxpayer money, mind you - in groups like ACORN that, among other sordid tactics, seek out Skid Row bodies and wheel them to polling places. All the Democratic National Committee needs are vans and smelling salts. Pop culture and the "education system" have done the rest, making "D" the default choice on Election Day.
Democrats brazenly take policy positions - think government services and even amnesty for illegal immigrants - not because they are the right thing to do, but because they are time-tested demographic bribes. Forget cigarettes and beer, Democrats would distribute needles, methadone, medical marijuana and biscotti in voter goodie bags if they could get away with it.
Democrats long ago jettisoned America's melting-pot ideal - E Pluribus Unum ("Out of Many, One") - because it imperils their campaign for permanent rule. Splitting the country into separate identity groups and playing them against each other works a lot better. And anyone who disagrees is a racist.

I have to disagree- this is in fact your mother's democratic party- at least since FDR (with a small break with Kennedy- who had his own issues). A central tenet of leftist government has always been that individuals don't matter - ideas, movements and ideologies do. There is no tolerance for difference, ironically enough, and there never has been. Take the push to redefine marriage for example- when President Bush pushed for a Constitutional amendment to define marriage (who knew it needed to be defined?) the left and the media (one in the same) went nuts calling it unconstitutional. How is changing the Constitution through a process defined by the Constitution, unconstitutional? Yet the left is perfectly okay with a small group of elites stepping outside of their authority to re-write the constitution according to their world view, which is essentially how abortion became a sacrament in America.
The manner in which the left uses the court today to impose its social agenda on states and communities is no different than how FDR attempted to use the court to add legitimacy to his insane and failed agenda. All leftist governments eventually devolve into oppressive killing machines- Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Nazi Germany- the more government is centralized the less influence people have until, in the end, they don't matter.
The tactics used today, although more sophisticated, are no different than those used in the past- the media has always been complicit in helping the left grab and hold power, the left has always pitted groups against one another and has always played to win at all costs. In fact, that is their advantage- their philosophy lends itself to these tactics.
