No, that mostly happened with the election of somnolent, senile, drowsy, sleepy, lazy, sluggish, lethargic SlowJoe Biden (in Joe’s case, one such adjective is just not enough) and an ex-bartender called “AOC” which may stand for Auditory Out of Control.
In the old days, by contrast, the Democrats used to say some wise things. For example:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Martin Luther King Jr.
Today’s Democrats say that statement is racist. They say it’s not only permissible to judge people by the color of their skin, but mandated.
Those having white skin must be judged evil-doers, and those having black skin must be judged their victims. Skin color is real, while “character” is a white construct. That’s the thrust of the Critical Race Theory that is indoctrinating our children.
The Dems promote this divisive victimology because they think it keeps blacks on the Dem plantation. It works only so long as blacks stay there.
“The buck stops here.” Harry Truman
Bucks don’t stop at Joe Biden’s office. They don’t even come for a visit. They don’t call, they don’t write. Heck, he doesn’t even Zoom with them in a COVID mask.
Bucks are something for Joe to pass on to his military advisers or to his predecessor. Over ten thousand Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan while this somnolent, senile etc. president-ish cardboard cutout reads teleprompter lies where he robotically says at the end something like, “…end of speech, DON’T take questions…”
The only bucks that stop at Joe’s office are in envelopes from Hunter marked “Big Guy.”
“Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy
Democrats used to make an art of trading free stuff for votes. Now all the art is out of it. It’s explicit horse-trading. Want to renege on your student loans or mortgage payments? Vote Dem. Want free shoot-up parks for your heroin addiction? Vote Dem. Want free babysitting? Vote Dem. Want lower rent? Vote Dem. Want to smash a window and grab a Prada bag? Vote Dem.
JFK almost died for his country in WWII and then did die for his country in office. Todays Democrats not only won’t die for their country, they want their country to die for them. If their country won’t voluntarily die for them, then by gosh they’ll kill it.
“The best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation.” Jimmy Carter
Democrats don’t want to demonstrate that our system should be emulated. They believe it should be exterminated. The countries that should be emulated are countries with all the traits of Cuba and Venezuela.
Except the name. Branding is everything.
“Not only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men.” Franklin D. Roosevelt
Today’s Democrats don’t like work. They don’t like doing it, and they don’t like other people doing it. That’s because, like religion, work is a threat to Democrat authority. They want to keep the citizenry forever dependent on government – run by Democrats.
You might ask, where will the handouts come from if nobody works? The Dem answer is to tax the rich. Then kill ‘em and eat ‘em. FDR wanted a chicken in every pot. Today’s Dems want a rich person in every pot. Rich people are like cotton candy – they taste terrible, but are fun to eat.
“The hardest test I ever faced in my life was praying.” Malcolm X
Democrats don’t pray anymore. They’re fine with other people praying so long as it’s done in private, sort of like masturbation used to be before Jeffrey Toobin came along.
“Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men.” JFK
This one contains at least three bad concepts. “Men” is now a bad word. “Pray” is a bad activity. “Strength” is a bad thing.
Today’s Dems don’t pray for manly strength. Rather they beg for the unearned status of a weak and genderless victim – without, of course, any actual transgression against them. See, Smollett, Jussie.
“It’s overwhelmingly in the self-interest of the United States of America to have a secure, democratic friend, a strategic partner like Israel.” Joe Biden, 2014
Fast forward seven years. Today’s Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats have thrown Israel under the hurtling Iranian nuke bus. In view of the catastrophic geopolitical ramifications of a nuclear Iran, one can only conclude this is because the Dems dislike the religion of the Israelis.
“The future is not an inheritance. It’s an opportunity and an obligation.” Bill Clinton
“Opportunity” and “obligation” are triggering for modern Democrats. Once again, they imply work.
“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.” Barack Obama More of that work stuff. How unwoke.
“And, uh, in addition to that, in addition to that, we have to make sure that, we are … Well, let me go to the second thing.” Joe Biden, 2021,with the help of a teleprompter
And that’s where we are today with Joe and the party of stupid.
the Aspen beat 
Well done!!! All I would add is that the party of stupid is better characterized as the party of Evil, having attempted to pervert every common sense truth and article of traditional wisdom that our civilization has ever recognized. Communism represents Satan’s finest work, having convinced us, among other things, that Satan doesn’t even exist. (Hat tip to C.S. Lewis.)
Yes, Biden SOUNDS stupid, but come on, man!
Correction: My hat tip goes to Charles Baudelaire for Satan’s “greatest trick.”
I agree with bitter clinger as I am one of those myself. Reasonable people are facing EVIL these days.
IT IS A DEMOCRAT VIRUS worse than the corona virus
“What I can tell you is that we are doing everything for the short term and the long term and we will work through the factors that present themselves as challenges in the terms that we encounter on everything. … The significant problems are not problem of insignificance because they are not important problems, they are significant challenges because of the importance of their significance and we are addressing them in both long and short term solutions. … This is important, not just morally but also economically, because the challenges are what we need to recognize as important maintenance issue challenges.” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
I see that you’re a keen student of the rhetoric of gobbledygook. Notice that Lil’ Petey uses some form of the words “significant” and “important” EIGHT times, “challenges” FOUR times, “problems” THREE times, and — need I go on? Never have so many words been employed to say so little, and to evoke not even ONE concrete image in the mind.
I thought “AOC” stood for Active Occasionally Cortex.
All Out Crazy
Perfect description of the mental (mal)function exhibited
I think you are being overly generous to Democrats … although this generosity and charity towards the Democrats could be a reflection of this Christmas Season.
Democrats have a long, long history of racism, bigotry and enforced prejudices and segregations. Their long history of racialist politics obviously stems from stupidity, as we are all created equal in the image of God.
Some 14 or 15 years ago Bruce Bartlett penned a terrific book titled “Wrong On Race: The Democratic Party’s Buried Past” as well as an opinion column that originally appeared in the WSJ.
Towards the end of his column, Bartlett quotes (among many other Democrats down through the ages) none other than then Senator Joe Biden …
“You cannot go into a Dunkin’ Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
“My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state has the eighth largest black population in the country. My state is anything [but] a Northeastern liberal state.”
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African American [Barack Obama] who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy.”
“There’s less than 1% of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4% or 5% that is, are minorities. What is it in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with.”
Sen. Joseph Biden Jr., (D., Del.), 2006-07
Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary, 1987-95
Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations
Candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, 2008

Yes, the real Party of Stupid is represented by the six on the right . . . .
Truth!!!
Nope, there are only RINOs, nowhere near Republicans, much less conservatives.
Try a little harder next time, if you dare.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Martin Luther King Jr.
That was a rhetorical flourish. The G.L.O.A.T. (= Greatest Lifeform of All Time) would not have objected to any discrimination against whites in favor of blacks. He would have been a fan of CRT.
Eric Michael Dyson says that whites like Glenn have hijacked this famous MLK quote, and I agree with Dyson on that. MLK would have explained that this dream of his was about the idea state of affairs a long, long time from now (operationally never) , and that lots of anti-white discrimination was needed to get there.
A rhetorical flourish. Uh-huh. In other words, something less than sincere.
Whatever the case, I would argue that “whites like Glenn” (people who know how to think) did less to “hijack” the statement than to help make it famous in the first place.
All I know, Mr. Calvin Hobbes, is that your two namesakes were specialists in human depravity but neglected to mention that it was largely restricted to “white” culture.
Let’s not kid ourselves, the Democrats have only lost the need to obfuscate and misdirect. Their media sycophants now let them say anything and everything without consequences. Every word from Biden’s mouth is either jumbled, a lie, or both. And ‘AOC’ stands for Already Openly Communist. Democrats in the past allowed creeping Socialism and authoritarianism seep into their party to the point where today the Democrats only have cohesive messaging when they openly discuss disastrous, freedom-sucking and economy-destroying policies. Literally wrong about absolutely everything for my entire life (I was sworn in 1961), Below Average Joe Biden is the perfect representative for his party: A corrupt, dishonest, incompetent moron who finds himself (on occasions when he can find anything) the head of his perfect reflection; a party that is fundamentally corrupt, dishonest, and incompetent and run by morons and grifters who see nothing but the power they can acquire and exercise, the people be damned.
You are correct the Democrat party has changed in their attitude toward Leftism. My atheist, college professor, solidly Democrat parents were adamant about Socialism and Communism. My father when talking to me about government said “Socialism will never work. It doesn’t take into account ambitious people or lazy people.” I never forgot that.
Today’s Democrat is slightly to the Left of Chairman Mao and out of touch with reality. Yet here we are with that group in charge of our country.
The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, jr. was a Republican Christian minister who preached “Love”.
Specifically the love of Jesus.
I know. I was there.
No one trusted the lawyer, Nixon (not the President) because he was a communist.
They trusted Dr. King because he was a Christian minister and like his family was a Republican.
Martin Luther King was a Republican.
For the record, MLK never revealed whether he was a Democrat or a Republican. But history associates the civil rights movement he helped found with the Democrats much more than with the Republicans, rightly or wrongly.
Do you mean the “history” written and publicized by Leftists that conveniently leaves out that Democrats were the party of the Confederacy, KKK, and Jim Crow, and that they blocked every civil rights bill until LBJ forced one through with the winning votes coming from Republicans (aka the party of Lincoln)?
Or the “history” written and publicized by Leftists who label whatever Republican is in the White House a Nazi if they want to cut taxes (real Nazis raised taxes), cut regulations (real Nazis regulated everything), protect Constitutional rights (real Nazis didn’t allow gun ownership, a free press, free speech, or freedom of religion), and treat people according to their character rather than skin tone or plumbing (real Nazis treated people differently based on ethnicity and religion)?

But they have always been the Party of Evil.
Glenn,
Over ten thousand Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan….please cite references, I need iron clad documentation in order to win family back into the fold……thanks for your clarity and diligence in this daily battle for hearts-minds-and our Country!

Glenn, your production is always great but this piece is too, too good. May God bless you, that is if He is not already blessing you.
But we can’t decide which of these citations are the best.
“The only bucks that stop at Joe’s office are in envelopes from Hunter marked ‘Big Guy.’
or
“Democrats used to make an art of trading free stuff for votes. Now all the art is out of it. It’s explicit horse-trading. Want to renege on your student loans or mortgage payments? Vote Dem.

“Todays Democrats not only won’t die for their country, they want their country to die for them. If their country won’t voluntarily die for them, then by gosh they’ll kill it.”
Uy, uyy, uyyy, as we say in Spanish. Or in English, wow, and wow some more.
God is good. Oremus.
