Default What happened to Democrats?

While superficially off-topic, the question of *What happened to
Democrats?* is entirely germane to the subject of spanking.

Today's Democrats are not the party of Franklin Roosevelt or John
Kennedy. Nor, have Democrats been the same since Lyndon Johnson
occupied the Oval Office in the White House 40 years ago.

Much of the New Deal coalition that Franklin Roosevelt put together
during the Great Depression abandoned the party when Lyndon Johnson
decided to rearrange American society to the delight of feminists.
Feeling betrayed by Lyndon Johnson, former Democrats put both Richard
Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the White House.

Former Democrats also put both Bushes into the White House. They also
turned on George H. W. Bush when he broke his *read my lips* promise of
*no new taxes* and they are currently helping to put his son, George W.
Bush into a free fall in public opinion polling.

Despite a predominantly Northeastern and largely feminist base, the
only Democratic presidents to occupy the White House in the past 40
years have been males from *redneck* Southern states. Lyndon Johnson
was of the quasi-Baptist Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
persuasion. Both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were Southern Baptists
when elected and spoke openly about their religion. Jimmy Carter even
taught Sunday School.

Although Jimmy Carter would eventually leave the increasingly
fundamentalist Southern Baptist Church in 2000, Jimmy Carter and Bill
Clinton arrive in Washington with families and religious affiliation
reflecting their origins. Unlike children of both George H. W. Bush
and George W. Bush, the children of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton did
not make sensational media headlines because of any misadventures while
their father was in office.

Whether they are registered as Republicans or Independents, former
Democrats and their decedents are often swing voters. They will bat on
either side of the political plate. At the same time, when they become
angry enough to vote, they expect their values to be respected in
return for their continued support. Former Democrats have also clearly
shown that liberals cannot win high office without a *Southern
concession*.

Having lost all sense of balance with the departure of almost all
conservatives and many moderates during Lyndon Johnson's
administration, the Democratic Party is currently dominated by
leftwing, frequently rabid feminist, extremists every bit as radical as
the Republican reactionaries currently occupying the White House.

Despite his pretensions and stage prop ranch, George W. Bush was
educated at Philips prep, Yale and Harvard. His attitudes toward life
are more Northeastern snob than hard-working Texas cowboy. His
religious affiliation is little more than a political weather vane of
American values.

Meanwhile, the limited appeal of the current Democratic Party is told
in the map of red and blue states. Democratic power is largely
concentrated in the Northeast. As a region that is losing population
to the South and West, it is rapidly becoming a tail trying to wag the
dog.

If Democrats do not regain some sense of balance in the 2006 midterm
election year and 2008 presidential election year is that swing voters
may allow Democrats to regain control of both Congress and the White
House.

Problems will likely develop when Democrats try to impose a crazy
leftwing agenda that alienates moderates and infuriates conservatives.
Part of that leftwing schema will be A CONTINUED ASSAULT ON THE FAMILY
by encouraging the formation of single parent families depending on
feminist-dominated no-spank child welfare agencies for even that
marginal existence.

If they once again alienated swing voters, radical Democrats will then
lose control of government to more conservative elements. That
Democrats are out of touch with America is clearly indicated by their
inability to get their act together even as George W. Bush's poll
numbers sink.

If Democrats are to regain and, more importantly, maintain power in
Washington, the party is going to have to regain its mainstream image.
In accomplishing future feats that rival Social Security, in either
appearance or substance, the Democratic Party cannot continue to engage
in radical leftwing social engineering. Otherwise, any Democratic
*party* is over before it starts!

A revitalized Democratic Party might start by putting an end to kicking
the man out of the house at the first sign of domestic difficulties.
That effort alone might attract male voters. In addition to putting No
Child Left Behind out of its misery, Democrats might also restore
discipline in public schools.

It is not healthy, especially for boys, for children to have most of
their waking hours controlled and manipulated by females without
corresponding male role models. Yet, single parent families headed by
women are displacing more traditional family structures and about 90%
of elementary school faculty is female. The result of this imbalance
can be seen in everything from the rise of youth gangs to the lyrics of
rap music.

Gangs attract members by offering them 2 things otherwise absent in
their lives. One is acceptance. The other is discipline. In
sufficiently large numbers, youth gangs can destabilize entire
communities.

In addition to praising *slapping the bitches around*, the words of rap
music often laments the absence of fathers in the performers' lives.
Both content should serve as a warning that a groundswell of resentment
is building against the current feminist-dominated environment for
children.

It is also becoming increasingly apparent that never-paddle,
yell-their-silly-heads-off, call-the-cops feminist educators have lost
control of schools. Not only are there children afraid to even go to
school because of bullies, rampant bullying in schools has been cited
as a primal cause of school shootings. A newer, equally troubling
concern is open sexual activity in schools and rampant, expensive to
screen, sexually transmitted diseases among students. Although unable
to provide a safe environment in the schoolhouse, ambitious educators
are demanding more control of student's lives away from school.

Among other related issues, these are matters which Democrats in power
will need to adequately address unless, as happened after both Jimmy
Carter's and Bill Clinton's White House tenure, Democrats once again
lose their political pants to *family friendly* Republicans.

Well, you've made some claims. Let's see you support them with facts.

One you could start with is the school shooting and danger at school.
You are going to be very surprized if you actually pull up the data.

Kids are safer in school than not.

Kids are safer from gunfire in schools than not.

Sexual abuse in schools is a terrible thing. But the rate is far less
than sexual abuse by friends and family in the family home.

Today's youth is less criminal than three decades ago.

And single parent female households are not a bastion of anti-spank
activities.

Begin anywhere you like, or you may presume we spot you for the
political lying hack you most obviously are.
