“The Ends Justify the Means”

Image
"The ends justify the means" is what Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) meant when in The Prince , he wrote : let a prince have the credit of conquering and holding his state, the means will always be considered honest, and he will be praised by everybody because the vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be and by what comes of it. Machiavelli was a master of pure power, how to get and hold it, justifying deception, treachery, crime. After all, “the ends justify the means.”  Don’t Democrats, in their pursuit of power, increasingly resemble an organized crime outfit? Let’s review the evidence.   Act I: Dirty Tricks   The “any means” Democratic Party grew out of the 1988 Bush-Dukakis campaign for president, when Lee Atwater on behalf of George H.W. Bush launched political TV ads associating Dukakis with black murderer Willie Horton, who committed assault and rape while furloughed under a program Dukakis oversaw as Massachusetts governor. Democrats were livid ...

Disraeli, Working Man Hero

Image
(rewritten from Wikipedia ): Benjamin Disraeli (1804-81), twice British Prime Minister and a favorite of Queen Victoria, created the modern Conservative Party. Born in London to a Jewish family, his literary critic father left the faith to became an Anglican, as did Benjamin after baptism at age 12.  Disraeli’s chief political achievement: securing passage of the 1867 Reform Act. Disraeli’s reform nearly doubled the number of males eligible to vote and increased the power of urban voters at the expense of country gentlemen. The victory was long in coming; 25 years earlier, at age 38, Disraeli had helped form the “Young England” parliamentary group which sought to gain power by moving to “protect the poor from exploitation by middle-class businessmen.”  Then 10 years later, Disraeli, as Chancellor of the Exchequer (equivalent to U.S. Treasury Secretary) lowered the taxes on malt (for beer) and tea, provisions designed to appeal to the working class.  Disraeli’s actions...

Young Folks Prefer Progressives

Image
Myra Adams is a media producer and writer with Bush ’04 and McCain experience. Adams documents  that after landslide Republican victories in 1980, 1984, and a sizable win in 1988, youth have helped opponents of five GOP presidential nominees and two incumbents, costing them popular vote victories in seven of the next eight quadrennial elections. While both Bill Clinton (1996) and George W. Bush (2004) won re-election with popular vote triumphs, since 2008, it’s been Democrats 4, Republicans 0.  Beginning with Obama, Democratic strength among incoming young people has overcome Republican strength among seniors. In 2008, youth (18-29) were 18% of the vote, and went for Obama over McCain by a remarkable 34%. Seniors (over 65) were 16% of voters, and voted McCain by only 8%. Four years later, it was youth (19% of voters) +23% for Obama, seniors (16%) + 12% for Romney. Hillary Clinton won youth (19% of vote) by “only” 19% in 2016, but lost to Trump among seniors (16% of voters) by ...
