The Democratic Party claims that it's the party of democracy even as it tries to suppress any democratic political opposition from its own members and from third parties because it's not about democracy.
That's easy to understand when you take into account the true origins of the Democratic Party.
In my book, 'Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers' Fight Against The Left', I delved into the true origins of the Democratic Party. And World Net Daily (WND) ran an exclusive excerpt of that true story.
Five years away from death, George Washington rode out to battle as, for the first and last time in American history, a sitting president led the troops in the field.His real enemy was the Democratic Societies.The Democratic Societies that so troubled Washington had taken their name from an emissary of the French Revolution who had set out to overthrow the nation's first president on behalf of France.While the founders of the Philadelphia Democratic Society had wanted to name it after the Sons of Liberty, as a tribute to the revolutionary past, the French operative had proposed calling them Democratic Societies.Theodore Roosevelt later described them as "Democratic societies on the models of the Jacobin Clubs of France" and their influence as “noxious” and “distinctly evil.”"We are lovers of the French nation," the Democratic Society of New York had declared. "We esteem their cause as our own."A toast at the Democratic Society of Philadelphia envisioned "the San Culottes of France,” creating a “temple of liberty" that will "have the whole earth for its area, and the arch of heaven for its dome," envisioning the French Revolution spreading across the world to America.Historian Charles Downer Hazen noted, "The Democratic clubs … also played an important part in introducing French levelling principles in revolutionary vernacular. It was through them that the word ‘democrat’ was ushered into our politics.”That was why George Washington wrote that the Democratic Societies "were instituted by the artful & designing members (many of their body I have no doubt mean well, but know little of the real plan)," he had warned, "under popular and fascinating guises, the most diabolical attempts to destroy the best fabric of human government.”
