Today’s Mallard Fillmore cartoon.
Dennis Prager explains to the Democrats why they are viewed as weak on values:
According to The New York Times, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, reflecting on her party’s recent losses in the presidential, Senate and House elections, asked: “How did a party that is filled with people with values—and I am a person with values—get tagged as the party without values?”
As one who was raised a Democrat and became a Republican only 10 years ago, I would like to answer Gov. Napolitano’s question as honestly as she posed it.
Gov. Napolitano, your party does indeed have very many people with values in it. But the Democratic Party is no more representative of the average Democrat’s values than the National Council of Churches is of the average Protestant’s values. Both are far to the left of their membership.
Here is the Democratic Party as most Americans, including this John F. Kennedy liberal—a New York City born and raised, Jewish, Ivy League-educated intellectual who lives in Los Angeles—see it.
To most Americans, Michael Moore is a Marxist who has utter contempt for most of his fellow Americans, who goes abroad and tells huge audiences how stupid and venal his country is, and in his dishonest propaganda film, portrays the American military as callous buffoons. Yet, this radical was given the most honored seat at the Democratic Party convention in Boston, next to former President Jimmy Carter.
To most Americans, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are race-baiting demagogues. Yet they are heroes to the Democratic Party. Most Americans do not see their country as the bigoted and racist nation regularly depicted by both black and white Democratic leaders.
To most Americans, a man who wears women’s clothing to work is a pathetic person in need of psychotherapy. To the Democratic Party, he is a man whose cross-dressing is merely another expression of multiculturalism. The California legislature, which is entirely controlled by Democrats, passed a law prohibiting any employer from firing a man who shows up to work wearing women’s clothing.
To most Americans, Eminem is a vulgar nihilist who poisons young Americans’ minds. To John Kerry he was a man whose anti-Bush hate video was worthy of endorsement.
He’s got more. Read the whole thing.
