WHY DEMOCRATS JUST ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING CALLED .....

I've always being one who likes to get under the skin of the collective left, and glorioski, have I found a way to rattle Democrats. You just refer to their wonderful party as the Democrat Party! Lordy, does this put a burr in their thongs.

Well .. now I think I've found out why! A buddy of mine at CNN (who, for obvious reasons, shall remain unnamed) provided me with some interesting information. Joseph J. Ellis wrote a book called "Founding Brothers, The Revolutionary Generation." I ordered my copy this morning. One of the Amazon.com reviews for this book says "This book is really unique in that it gives a really interesting perspective not only on the men [our founding fathers] , but the dynamic between them." Now in that book by this renowned historian you will find some tasty information on the origination of the word "democrat." Many times I've told you that our founding fathers were none too fond of the idea of democracy, or, as they viewed it, mob rule. Here's the quote:

"... the term "democrat" originated as an epithet and referred to 'one who panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses.'" Don't you love it? Could anything better define today's Democrat Party? Get with the program folks. It's the Democrat, not the "Democratic" Party.

Did you ever wonder why the democRAT wants to be called democratic? A real Oxymoron.
No, they are anything but democratic.

Yes, I always wondered about this myself, especially when I realized there was nothing remotely democratic about the democRAT party. Amazing segue.....

Liberal and progressive have negative connotations and smack of communism and socialism, the term 'democrat' just sounds better and gives better cover to the liberal Marxists.

All of those, there are no such group as the democratic party in America. They would be much more honest to claim the socialist label instead of trying to hide behind an inoffensive label like democratic originally was.
