Letter: Viruses infect Democratic Party

Monday, Nov. 8, 2004 | 9:06 a.m.

In Thursday's Las Vegas Sun, three-quarters of the op-ed opinion essays, as well as the Sun's own editorial, focused on the question of why the Democratic Party has gradually lost majority support of the American electorate over the last decade.

The real answer as to why the Republicans have successfully and increasingly usurped control of all three federal government branches is astoundingly simple: The Democratic philosophy has become synonymous with the pseudo-philosophy of political correctness. Just as it is common knowledge that Christian conservatism will scare away a certain percentage of voters from the right-side of the political spectrum, liberals need to learn that political correctness is clearly repelling an even higher percentage back to the party of common sense.

If Democrats don't soon denounce their association with relativism, multiculturalism, feminism and other such flaky new-age dogmatic beliefs, their party will surely go the way of the Federalists and Whigs before them
