KEEP HOPE ALIVE?

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 22, 2024

     THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION CONCLUDES TONIGHT WITH KAMALA HARRIS’ ACCEPTANCE SPEECH. SO FAR ITS BEEN MOSTLY NEGATIVE AND ANTI-TRUMP SPEECHES, BECAUSE HARRIS HAS NOT EXPRESSED ANYTHING SHE BELIEVES IN, EXCEPT TAX INCREASES AND PRICE “GAGING” AS SHE MISPRONOUNCES IT.

     THE LEFT HAS USED THE SAME PLAYBOOK AND MADE THE SAME PROMISES FOR EIGHTY YEARS, GOING BACK TO FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT: CORPORATIONS ARE EVIL AND DON’T PAY THEIR “FAIR SHARE” IN TAXES; THE GOVERNMENT IS THE ONLY ENTITY THAT CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE; REPUBLICANS WANT TO END SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE; ONLY DEMOCRATS CAN FIX WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA.

     QUESTION: WHY HAVEN’T THEY FIXED THINGS? THEIR ANSWER: EVIL REPUBLICANS STAND IN THEIR WAY.

     IT’S ALL A SHAM AND A SHOW, AND A BAD ONE AT THAT. IF THEY COULD FIX THINGS THEY WOULD, BUT THEY DON’T BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE THE ISSUE.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY USED TO BE FAR MORE CONSERVATIVE, ESPECIALLY ON FOREIGN POLICY AND EVEN SOME SOCIAL ISSUES. NO MORE. THEY’VE BEEN HIJACKED BY SECULAR PROGRESSIVES. HARRIS IS CONDUCTING A HIDDEN CAMPAIGN BECAUSE SHE IS MORE LIBERAL THAN BERNIE SANDERS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
