She Guevara

       There was a time when realism was a valued trait in politics.  The worst thing you could accuse a politician of was of having utopian dreams.
       Of course, the ultimate utopians were Karl Marx, and his disciple Vladimir Lenin.  The utopianism of Marx and Lenin led to the violence of Beria and Che Guevara.
       Those who were born after 1991 forget the horrors of Communism, mistaking Che Guevara for a hero.  Thus, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez becomes the darling of the extreme left.  Every American could be given a Ferrari for the cost of her insane Green New Deal.  She Guevara derides moderation as a basic concept, showing that today's Democratic Party is one where the Girondins have been purged by the Jacobins.

All Bush's Fault?

It seems to me that Democrats running for President have stopped giving an overall viewpoint about what they stand for. "I want to pull us out of Iraq!" "I want to pull us out faster!" "I want to pull out instantly!" Clinton says President Bush can't see most Americans. Obama says we're killing civilians with bombing raids only he seems to know about. The Democrats only seem to focus on Iraq. This is because they have created a mythology based on George W. Bush. Bush has been blamed for everything that has happened to the U.S. in the past seven years. The mythology says that only Democrats have good intentions, only Democrats are smart, only Democrats have integrity. The fact of the matter is that Democrats are cynical opportunists, moral hypocrites, empty suits. How can you claim to love children, and then turn around and vote for late term abortions? How can you call Republicans corrupt, and then talk about electing the woman who scoured Vince Fosters office within hours of his death? How do you claim to empathize with ordinary Americans, and then get a $400 haircut? How can you claim to want to fight Al-Qaeda, and then surrender Iraq to them?

But it's all Bush's fault, right?

The Truth

The person who supplied the last blog quote was Mao Zedong. It's really not a good thing when people holding congressional seats sound like a discredited communist tyrant.
