As most Americans know, the Democratic Party has begun a dangerous flirtation with the Democratic Socialists of America. What’s shocking is how far and how fast the rot has spread.
To his credit, Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi is pushing back with a pledge called the “Promise to America.” Its three core principles are simple common sense. We’re capitalist, not socialist. We want safety, not lawlessness. And we’re proud, not ashamed, of America.
Here’s the disturbing part: of the 212 House Democrats, only 13 have signed on. That tells you how mainstream socialist ideas have become in the Democratic Party, and how radicals have intimidated the moderates.
It’s shocking that these simple principles are now controversial in a major American political party. That should concern every voter who values freedom. Let’s hope it’s a wake-up call.
