The Democratic Mainstream and The Democratic Lunatic Fringe Shake Hands

The sad deterioration of the Democratic Party is continuing at an ever increasing pace.  It used to be that mainstream politicians shied away from the lunatic fringes of their own parties.  Sometimes, when unscrupulous or desperate politicians did seek the support of fringe groups, they did so quietly so as not to offend and drive away the sane members of their constituency.  Well, all that is changing on the Left.  Now prominent politicians like Al Gore, Jim McDermott, Barbara Boxer, Robert Byrd, Dick Durbin and Howard Dean (to say nothing of complete slimeballs like Cynthia McKinney) have not just embraced the Democratic Party's fringe element, they have become a part of it.  These are the people who seek endorsements and solicit contributions from the likes of from Markos "Screw Them" Zuniga and who compare American soldiers with Nazis.  These are people who link to Democratic Underground on their campaign websites and lionize anti-American lunatics like Michael Moore. 

Well, this growing group has a new superstar and it is Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan's 14th District (which also happens to be among the most heavily Islamist areas in the United States).  Congressman Conyers, who is one of the chief proponents of the "election fraud in Ohio" conspiracy theory, has recently recently engaged in a bit of utter stupidity by holding a "mock impeachment" based on the "Downing Street Memo," an anonymous account of someone's impressions of what people in the U.S. government were thinking and the latest straw being grasped at by delusional leftists who dream of removing President Bush from office before January, 2009.  What's interesting about this latest stunt?  Conyers openly acknowledges that he is in bed with the lunatic fringe, thanking Democratic Underground for its support on his personal blog.  This is the same Democratic Underground where the death of Americans is cheered, where completely insane conspiracy theories are a regular feature, where Stalinist political fantasies are a staple and where Americans are openly hated.  Of course, this should come as no surprise.  Congressman Conyers has been working against President Bush and on behalf of Saddam Hussein and his ilk for some time now, so his alliance with the loons of DU is a perfect fit.

Whether you consider yourself liberal, conservative, or something in between, we should be able to agree that our country needs to do better than Conyers, McKinney, Gore and the other supporters of anti-American forces in our own borders.  For this country to continue to prosper, it is not enough for Republicans to win.  The Democratic party needs to be saved and not allowed to become a force for nothing more than obstructionism and hatred.  In the struggle between the lunatic fringe and the ever more embattled sane wing of the once great Democratic Party, I urge all of you to support sane Democrats like Harold Ford, Barack Obama, Joseph Lieberman, Tom Lantos, Diane Feinstein, Hillary Clinton (yes, Hillary), Evan Bayh, Ellen Tauscher, and others like them who are, well, not entirely nuts.  I'm not asking that you agree with or support their politics, since I certainly don't agree with many of their positions.  I only ask that when Democrats find the courage stand up to the loons in their own party and get attacked from their left, you remember to support and encourage them because at the end of the day it is Democrats and not anyone else who will win or lose the crucial battle for the soul of the Democratic Party.
