The Democrats' Frenchified idea of "demos"
By Michael Moriarty
web posted March 7, 2005
Demos -- the Greek word for people. Cratic -- the Greek appending syllable for leadership. Ergo, the Latin word for therefore, "a government of the people, by the people and for the people."
Sounds great, doesn't it? Why do we even need a Republican Party?
The key question for Congress on both sides of the aisle should be: "Do ad hoc problems fall under federal or state jurisdiction?" Unfortunately, the economic goal of the Democratic Party necessitates complete federal control of everything. With the Democrats espousing an imperialistic economic machine (Socialism), those liberals are unqualified to stand as the single party in a dreamed-of One Party Democracy. The world, except for the United States, now endures the Social Democrats' benevolent dictatorship of a One-Party New World Order. Does that sound the least bit American? No, it's French!
The flirtation of American liberals with radical elements dedicated to their elimination was brilliantly exposed by Tom Wolfe in Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers. Basically, this classic of New Journalism reports on the "American Enlightenment" -- the Ivy League mega-postgraduates spiritually clutching a copy of To the Finland Station by Edmund Wilson, getting their rocks off by hosting a cocktail party for American terrorists, like the Black Panthers. It is undeniably a French salon of Paris, circa 1793 -- only it's New York City in 1968.
So, there you have the Democratic Party's ultimate idea of the "People." It explains why former U.S. president Bill Clinton could sit down with Palestinian terrorist leader Yasser Arafat and help him get back all that real estate in Israel. Thank God Clinton's pal still wasn't satisfied, revealing himself to be a most undeserving Nobel Peace Prize winner when he launched the second Intifada. Clinton also wanted to give the store away to another terrorist -- Gerry Adams of the Irish Republican Army.
The Peck's Bad Boy of the 20th century has been France, which lurks behind the nightmares of the First and Second World Wars, the Cold War, and the "brushfire wars" in Vietnam, Algeria and the Ivory Coast. In 1919, French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau engineered the Treaty of Versailles, which sanctioned the brutal humiliation of defeated Germany, killing any chance of democracy taking root in the Weimar Republic and driving the enraged German people into the arms of fascist dictator Adolph Hitler.
Clemenceau's France deftly sidestepped Wilson's League of Nations. France found firmer footing in Manhattan with her Napoleonic Trojan Horse -- the United Nations Secretariat Building. It is the ultimate Arc de Triomphe commemorating France's infiltration into America, from where it can dictate the future of Humankind. France is even now Europe's main port of entry for an Islamic Gestapo. The Vichy-like Democratic Party has close ties to former French-occupied North African colonies.
Now the Democrats are preparing for their 2008 assault on America with the French idée of "the People" as a bloodied standard to bludgeon the Republicans with Rainbow Coalitions, affirmative action, pro-choice, fetal research, cloning and feminist extremism. A member of the leftist, Wiley Coyote Strategy Club will most likely be the Josef Goebbels behind the Clinton victory, James Carville, whose own wife calls him "serpenthead." This epithet Carville cheerfully owns up to, showing the only American trait he has left -- a sense of humor about himself. That and a southern accent.
Poor U.S. president Woodrow Wilson gave up on Clemenceau in Paris back in 1919. Wilson watched his dreams of a peaceful Europe go up in smoke at the treaty signing in Versailles. With a Francophile Democratic Party in the Oval Office, Americans will find themselves pushed to the wall in the same way the Germans were after the First World War.
If that happens, American partisans will have to resort to tactics to save the country that will be as merciless and reprehensible as those used by the French Resistance and the Viet Cong to further their ends.
We need go no further than lob the UN into the East River and let its denizens swim back to Paris where the whole Napoleonic nightmare began. Our indisputable American cultural imperialism -- favored by children over five everywhere on Earth -- is a laurel we can always rest on.
The American Margaret Thatcher: Condoleezza Rice
If any Free World Democracy needs a Maggie Thatcher, it's America today. Condoleezza Rice is here, folks. Her appearance in Europe as our new Secretary of State was flawless. If Woodrow Wilson only had her by his side when he faced the radical chic elements of France, there would have been no Second World War.
A President Rice will most likely have to tell the UN what England's Iron Lady told Argentina's Napoleonic Army: "Go back where you came from!"
As for Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Governator of California, he is nothing more than a Democrat in Republican clothing. The other possible contenders to lead the Democratic Party into the next presidential election are not worth considering.
So the 2008 election will amount to America facing its oldest enemy, France, at the election booth. What leftist ancien terribles, such as Norman Mailer, like to call the war between "old money" and nouveau bourgeois riche is really France versus America. To me, that's like Napoleon facing Waterloo. I'm looking forward to it.
