D Is for Descendancy

The Democrats are no longer the majority party. Is this the year they'll finally admit it?

This is an editorial that I didn't get to earlier for various reasons, but it's worth a look. Brendan Miniter writes about the prospects of long term decline for the Democrats that will await them after this election if they don't seriously examine their allegiance to the idea of top-down command and control collectivism. For the Democrats this is the fundamental problem. The Great Socialist Utopia has been proven to be a miserable failure. For the better part of the last century collectivism had its chance and has been found wanting. It just doesn't work and it matters not who is in charge. The theory is bankrupt and so is any party which still has a misplaced faith in that failed ideology. The ideas of liberty and freedom are once again in the ascendance and if the Democrats want to remain in existence as a political party they will have to discard their collectivist desires on the ash heap of history where they belong. The problem is, of course, that so few of them are willing as yet to do so.
