Democrats' Danse Macabre

By Jed Babbin

Some future political science student will cruise to his Ph.D. on a thesis analyzing the Democratic Party purge being held tomorrow in Connecticut.

They haven't dealt with our most deadly enemies decisively despite having the means and opportunity to do so, and behave as though their purpose in life is to spend money that isn't theirs. But most of the time we hold our noses and stick with the president because the Dems are vastly worse.
