If you haven't figured this out, I've been able to differentiate and I have been differentiating between the traditional Democratic base voters and the blue/green voters who are using the Democratic party. My beef is not with and has never been with the traditional Democratic voters. The Republican beef is not with them either. The beef is with the leadership of the voters who identify with the color blue.

You see, the blue leadership doesn't seem to actually believe in democracy or the US Constitution. I dunno, what would you call a system of government that's basically ruled by a group of liberals, a panel of liberal judges who aren't elected officials who have been given the power to eliminate peoples rights with the stroke of a pen. I think every Democratic voter should be viewing and following our exchanges so they understand what's at stake for them if they allow this liberal/ blue trend and the liberal/ blue dominance to continue within the Democratic party. Bob seems to bounce back & forth between traditional Democratic beliefs and rhetoric and blue beliefs and rhetoric (communist, socialist, fascist, dictatorship of some sort). Well, if that's what blues want then the blues better start preparing themselves and preparing their followers for a war with THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that will be fought within Blue America that will be fully supported by Red America.

During the Jim Crow era, the Supreme Court nullified the entire Bill of Rights.  Thurgood Marshall restored them one at a time (except the Jim Crow interpretation of the 2nd) in the mid 20th Century.  Anyway, in any given era, a loaded court tries to throw away the Constitution in favor of their own often slanted theory of the moment.  It would be really hard to avoid the conservative Jim Crow court as the worst example, but it happens constantly.  Early on, FDR could hardly do anything.  The court, loaded in the late Gilded Age, kept saying no.  Later, as he kept being elected, the court gave him powers to regulate the economy that the Founding Fathers had never dreamed of.  Later, liberal courts started to invent rights that they thought ought to exist.  As much as I am pleased to have Roe v Wade the law of the land, I doubt the Founding Fathers intended to create a right to be a pervert from the colonial perspective.  The perverts would have been lucky to avoid tar, feathers, and a ride out of town.

Anyway, as much as I am into true Enlightenment rights, they should have passed constitutional amendments rather than write absurd precedents from the judicial bench.  I am one of the few progressives who mourned the loss of Saclia's perspective, that of pure interpretation of what was written clearly enough.  I just condemn many eras of legislating from the bench by both progressives and conservatives, not recent examples only.

Again, I can trivially tell the difference between communists, fascist, dictator like policies, etc... and both Republicans and Democrats.  I am tired of the straw man and stereotypes.  It is easy to pretend one cannot tell a Democrat from a communist, a Republican from a fascist.  One can, and I do.  You are supposed to be stubborn, not stupid.  Act it.

I am curious as to what rights you think have been eliminated by Democrats.  I hardly think it impossible given the lack of respect for the Constitution over the years, but I see them as more likely to invent a right than destroy one lately.  Anyway, if you are going to rant, give some examples.  The extra degree of indirection and lack of saying what you mean clearly is usually covering something like the supposed right to be a racist, or the supposed right to make religious doctrine law.  Which parts of the Bill of Rights have the Democrats aimed at, save the Second?  Again, the Jim Crow racists, conservatives, came up with that one at the end of the reconstruction.  True, the conservatives were Democrats at that time.  Both parties had progressive and conservative wings.  It wasn't until LBJ and the Southern Strategy that the current alignment set in.
