David Horowitz's Editorial Note: Starting today we are publishing in serial form an essay by Bruce Hendry on the existential crisis our nation is facing. The crisis has been caused by a dramatic shift to the left by one of our two main political parties. Tragically, the leaders of the Democrat Party seem to have learned nothing from the social catastrophes created by socialist illusions in the past century.
By declaring himself a socialist – although “communist” would more accurately reflect his lifelong commitments – presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has done our country an enormous favor. When the Berlin Wall came tumbling down in 1989, it ended a 72-year international civil war that liberated over a billion people from the chains of a totalitarian system. Yet there was a deafening and costly silence on the part of the victors over this historic result.
While millions in the former Soviet bloc gathered to praise President Reagan and America as the heroes of their liberation, western leaders were curiously mute. By the time the Wall fell, Reagan was no longer president. Under his successor, George H. W. Bush, there were no victory laps taken. No major events to celebrate the victory of the Free World or to drive home the lessons learned from this past – the bankrupting of whole continents, the engineering of famines in the Soviet Union, which had previously been the “bread basket of Europe,” the murder of more than 100 million people in peacetime for standing in the way of the socialist planners.
American leaders were too polite to emphasize these grim lessons of the socialist experiment. They did not want to embarrass our defeated enemies. This self-imposed silence allowed the progressive left to revive itself, and mount an attack on America again.

Democratic Ideals as a Religion
Why leftists believe they can do no wrong.Wed Mar 4, 2020 Bruce Hendry 88
4. Democratic Ideals as a Religion.
4. Democratic Ideals as a Religion.
In a religion there are shared values and shared mythologies. In a religion, if somebody challenges any of the orthodoxies they are attacked personally. Religions stay together because of these shared values and because, if you want to continue to be accepted by your group, you cannot challenge these shared values and mythologies. Progressives behave this way.
Religious people indoctrinate their children to believe in their orthodoxy, and we can easily observe that if you start the indoctrination early enough it will last a lifetime. Democrats have taken over our educational system from kindergarten to university and that kind of religious, socialist, indoctrination is going on, right now, in our schools.
Curiosity should be a community value but it is actually a community threat to those in power. Curious people who challenge religious ideas are not met with a kindly response but instead are met with an attack that is personal. By silencing those with different opinions, either by enforcing politically correct speech or verbally attacking the person that is trying to express a different opinion, you win the argument. This is basic strategy for Democrats.
David Horowitz’s observation that progressivism is a religion explains a lot for me. Every society/culture in recorded history has had a religion. It’s the glue of shared values and shared mythologies that keeps the group together. Look at it this way. A religion needs three elements:
1]. A God
2]. An oppressed group
and
3]. Oppressors.
If you look at the modern Democratic party as a religion, then it all makes sense. The Democrats [God] have such high ideals and motives that they can do no wrong. Even violent acts and personal attacks on their less than human opponents are okay because of the basic goodness/godliness of the party. Democrats think that they hold the moral high ground and the bad things that they do, like personal attacks on people who have different opinions, are justified and excused because of their moral superiority.
Let’s look at an example: If you belong to a strong Mormon community of faith and you and you question whether Joseph Smith, their founder, actually saw the golden tablets, you would be vilified and thrown out of the Mormon community. Democrats are like that. When some of my wife’s “best” friends found out about her conservative views, they threw her out of the group and don’t even return her e-mails. The same treatment came from her brother when he found out that she didn’t like Hillary and wrongly thought that she voted for Trump. He hasn’t talked to her for two years..........To Read More.....
Guilt By Accusation
How Democrats use the tactics of Stalin’s prosecutors.Bruce Hendry
6. Guilt By Accusation.
Brett Kavanaugh is an outstanding jurist who was nominated by Donald Trump to the U.S. Supreme Court. Nothing from his judicial past could be seriously be challenged by the Democrats, so at the exact moment when it would cause the most damage, they charged him with groping Christine Blasey Ford at a party 37 years before, when he was all of 15 years old.
Ford, couldn’t initially remember in what year it happened, although she eventually decided on 1982, or where it occurred, or how she got to the party or home from the party. She did remember the names of four people that were at the party, including her best girlfriend. Not one of those four people, including her own girlfriend, remember the incident. Her girlfriend said that she had never met Brett Kavanaugh.
End of story, right? To any fair minded person this woman is either mentally unbalanced or a liar, and the fact that this accusation was withheld for 37 years and then made at the precise moment that would cause the most damage to the Supreme Court nominee would strike any normal person as being staged. The Democrats, both Group Two Democrats, the politicians and Group One Democrats, the loyal but clueless big hearted group rallied behind this ridiculous and destructive tale.
“Guilty until proven innocent;” “she wouldn’t lie because she’s a woman;” “If you don’t believe her, you are insulting every woman that has been sexually assaulted;” they said. But to believe Christine Ford one would also have to believe that every accusing woman always tells the truth and that every accused man lies...........To Read More.....
