Lost Cause

I was just reading the LA Weekly, southern California's leading alternative paper. This week's cover is about what the Democrats should do over the next four years. They've lost all three branches of government and need a way out.

I have a suggestion. There's a cause I know about that's right up their alley. It might not only excite the base, it could even reach out to the rest of America.

It seems there's this nation of almost 25 million that suffered for decades through one of the worst dictatorships in history. Now, for the first time ever, they have a chance of becoming a democracy. Polls show that the vast majority of the populace want a free, democratic country.

Unfortunately, there's a faction--really a minority within a minority--that wants to prevent this transition and hopes to return to a brutal dictatorship. While nowhere big enough to fight an actual war (they'd be slaughtered), they hide behind masks and behead the people they capture, or blow them up on suicide missions. Though they don't have the people on their side, they are getting help from nearby dictatorships who fear that freedom will spread to their own countries.

This issue is a natural for Democrats. Everything they've been saying for the past few decades fits in perfectly with this sort of thing.

I know you may find this difficult to believe, but many Democrats are ignoring the issue or even attacking the hard work the United States has done to bring this wonderful thing about. Many go so far as to openly favor the murderous thugs fighting against freedom.

All I can say is the cause is there, time to get aboard. It'll do wonders for you and, maybe, for the world.
