True Words

CD Harris on the modern democrat party:

There's a reason why this site always refers to Loyal Opposition as the "Democrat party" not the "Democratic party": They have become a profoundly anti-democratic entity over the last thirty years or so. No party that so persistently - and proudly - uses the courts rather than the legislative process to force its policy preferences on an unwilling public can legitimately lay claim to the title "democratic." No party that so consistently sells out ordinary working people for the benefit of self-appointed special interests deserves to be called "democratic." And no party that wails and moans about "counting every vote" while working feverishly to prevent military absentee ballots from being counted, or third party candidates from even appearing on the ballot, has any right to wear the "democratic" mantle.
