Michael Walsh Names the Founder of the Criminal Organization Destroying America for Two Centuries…
The ghost of Aaron Burr, invoked in an extraordinary polemical history, haunts this round-up of headlines.
Since the day Aaron Burr, the sitting vice president of the United States, shot and killed Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers, the Democratic Party has been at war with America. With a history that includes murder, treason, slavery, segregation, sedition, bribery, and systemic vote theft, it can argued that the Democrats are, at root, the anti-American party.
In this incendiary Broadside – a heartfelt j’accuse – Michael Walsh traces the illicit and immoral history of the Democrats from Burr and the founding of the quintessential big-city political machine, Tammany Hall, to the “by any means necessary,” Saul Alinsky-inspired presidency of Barack Obama and his Windy City cronies. The prosecutorial argument: The Democrats, in essence, are nothing less than a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

For season 2 of the 13 Weeks Radical Reading Regimen each weekday I juxtapose book excerpts with a selection of recent headlines. The goal is to make fresh connections between the events of the day and the bigger picture of humanity’s place in the universe. Each day also starts with highlighting the contributions of an important writer.
Dear Michael,
I’d really like to thank you for the great writing you deliver week after week. Your PJ Media and National Review blog posts and articles, and your New York Post columns, are some of the most vigorous, engaging articulations of American values today. Your career journalist’s understanding of the real world and novelist’s gift for rich, electrifying prose have combined to articulate a vital argument which you’ve crystallized into a pamphlet that today I promote with enthusiasm: your amazing historical polemic The People v. the Democratic Party should serve as a foundational example in its ideas, style, and format for all activists striving to defend American freedom.
I’m not sure when I first saw you articulating the argument in your PJ Media columns — sometime last year probably — but it was a conclusion I too was beginning to tepidly consider: the Democratic Party is best understood as a criminal organization masquerading as a political party. And therefore attempting to defeat them at the ballot box is doomed to failure. Trying to win elections against criminal Democrats who have practiced gang-orchestrated voter fraud for centuries is like knowingly playing poker against a man with aces hidden in his sleeves. Who would be such a fool to do that, betting their own money against an opponent they knew was cheating? The Republican Party.
The People v. the Democratic Party should be taken very seriously and inspire activists and writers in these three ways, in a way, echoing and implementing the values I highlighted in my write-ups of Roger Kimball and Andrew Klavan. Together, the three of you – and the fourth writer I will name in this series’ next installment – form a new literary foundation for all aspiring cultural-political creative activists. (In other words, these are three of the lessons I have taken myself and that I pass along to my writing, editing, and activist friends…)
We need to re-balance the scales in our historical understanding of the Democratic Party’s criminal origins. It begins with looking at who Aaron Burr was, why he got away with murder, and how his legacy – not Thomas Jefferson’s – became the slippery soul of the Democratic Party. How does Tammany Hall foreshadow the Clintons and Obamas? The People v. The Democratic Party tells the story of history repeating itself.Part of what makes your analysis of the criminal history of the Democrats so effective is your use of classical references – Paradise Lost in the polemic’s conclusion for example — and a high, traditional style when appropriate. This is the political polemic as art. You set a high standard for the rest of us to pursue.This format of Encounter Broadside – Roger Kimball’s creation – is tremendously effective for articulating important ideas in an accessible fashion. Yours and Glenn Reynolds’ are the ones that I’ve read so far and they’re examples of a format that I hope you both do again and that other publishers and organizations imitate.I hope to start writing more about the themes in The People v. The Democratic Party and also your inspiring manual of counter-attack, Rules for Radical Conservatives, in the coming months and look forward to seeing you continue to apply your erudite eye and precise pen as the crimes of the Obama administration become harder and harder for even his most devoted collaborators in the mainstream media to conceal…
Sincerely,
David Swindle
