The Democrats, aka Liberals, Communists, Fascists, Socialists, can be accused of many things—cheating, lying, collusion, spying, etc. But the one thing this ruthless bunch can never be accused of is being overly creative.

No doubt you’ve heard how these scatological associates use the same ole playbook, the same ole tricks, over and over again. And over and over again. As Crooked Hillary once quipped, the party counts on the ignorance and short-term memories of liberal constituents, including indoctrinated millennial-aged voters, “un-woke” minority voters, and of course, the illegal voters that only speak five words of English—“welfare,” “food stamps,” “Western Union.”

Look, the average Democrat voter is just plain stupid. They’re easy to manipulate. That’s the easy part. -Hillary Clinton, as told to Dick Morris in Rewriting History, 2005

Oftentimes conservative media will point out the Democrats’ echoing of the same ole tricks and name-calling. But the liberal/communist/socialist/fascist adherent mainstream media never does that. What do you think they are? Journalists or something?

Of course, everyone is familiar with the Democrat “go-to” play—the flashing neon sign that says, “We have nothing else!”—otherwise known as their “last resort.” A rather large library would be required to document all the “racist” name-calling that has been regurgitated from the tolerant bootlickin’ leftist media, Hollywood, special-interest groups, and politicians. But here, so little space, so little time. To get an idea, however, turn on CNN for a couple minutes.

“You’re a racist!” Democrat-speak for “We have nothing policy-wise with which to debate you intellectually.”

Another favorite Dem trick is the one played recently on Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings—the so-called “Rapist/Philanderer accusations play” complete with a “media leak strategy” via assistance from the complicit mainstream media.

The RPAMLS (Rapist/Philanderer accusation and media leak strategy) failed epically when the Dems tried it on Kavanaugh. However, the play has been successful in the past. For the best examples of this play, read Andrew Breitbart’s Righteous Indignation. He details how, after Bill Clinton was impeached by the House, the Clinton camp threatened many Republican senators with the RPAMLS play if said senator dared to vote “Yea” on Clinton’s nasty cigar habit.

This article’s purpose is to illustrate that the phrase “The Democrats use the same ole tricks, the same playbook…” is not talking heads on conservative media. It is the truth!

Same Ole Playbook And Same Destructive Policies

But equally true is this: The Democrats have been trying to implement the same destructive policies, the same big government programs, i.e. socialism, the goal of which communism, in the United States for decades. Democrats choose Alinsky style smear tactics, i.e. “community organizing.” Community – communist,,, get it? “Community organizer” and community organizing instructor represented 95 percent of Barry Soetoro’s resume experience before he was elected president.

The Democrats and their Socialist/Communist/Fascist colleagues are hell-bent on destroying America. But like Rush Limbaugh said the other day, if they should achieve that person, there won’t be anything or anyone left for them to loot. What’s the long game?

If Democrats told American citizens their true intentions and beliefs—issues debated civilly in open, honest political discourse—they would be totally rejected.

Thus far, American citizens have prevailed in rejecting Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist policies as the overall social and economic systems in the U.S . But with university indoctrination, an overflowing market of women’s studies’ students, unemployed millennial white guys who protest white people, burn garbage cans, and break windows for a living, and blacks who have been told that MLK Jr. supported Malcolm X, and cheating election officials whose mistakes always goto the blue party (Hmmmm…), things are seemingly getting tougher. On top of all that, we’re talking about bedlamites here—sociopaths with no principles, no standards, no morals.

The 1960’s Resurgence Of Conservatism

The other day I ran across Sen. Barry Goldwater’s acceptance speech for the 1964 republican presidential nomination. As I read, it dawned on me that this speech represents substantial documented proof that the leftist lunatics were using the same unethical playbook in the 60’s! The same unethical playbook that serves as a means to implement their same sinister policies in order to destroy America.

The speech’s numerous allusions to the progressive/globalist/socialist/communist agenda for destroying the U.S. democracy is harrowing. The “socialist” policies that are mainstream democrat today are not new. Whereas the love children and love parents of the 60’s revealed their communist penchant, the ideology’s rejection forced it underground (again). Today, socialism’s anti-capitalist, anti-‘All men are created equal’, anti-religion (except Islam), anti-free speech, anti-freedom, anti-Constitution, anti-everything except government, policies are being heralded with abandon.

Communism’s greatest supporters have been Democrat presidents: Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921), Franklin Roosevelt (FDR; 1933-1945, now you know why there are presidential term limits), Lyndon Johnson (LBJ; 1963-1969), and Barack Obama (SOB; 2008-2016).

LBJ Democrat Presidential Nominee 1964

President John Kennedy (JFK) was assassinated in November, 1963. For all practical purposes, JFK was a change-figure similar to President Trump, i.e. good change. JFK was not a warmongering globalist like John McCain, or an establishment millionaire like either Bush.

After JFK’s death, LBJ, progressive, globalist extraordinaire and good friends with the establishment Texas Bushes, became President in his place. (How convenient for the communist faction in the U.S.) LBJ, whose philandering activities in the oval made Bill Clinton look like an altar boy. was the 1964 Democrat presidential candidate.

Historical Context

As in any literary work, context matters. From a historical point-of-view, think of Goldwater circa 1964 when he touted pure conservatism. His passionate reminders of America’s founding contrasted with 8 years of a horrible, globalist, anti-American President, is credited with the resurgence of the Republican Party. (sound familiar?).

The speech references policies and principles fundamental to conservatism. Honestly, almost the entire speech could be given by President Trump today (minus open borders part!).

Goldwater’s passionate reminders of America’s founding along with 8 years of a horrible, globalist, anti-American President, is credited with the resurgence of the Republican Party. (sound familiar?).

The More Things Change…The More Democrat Stench Stays The Same

Because of LBJ’s popularity, Goldwater choose not to say anything negative about him. Yet this speech is highly polemical against the Democrat/Communist movement already in full swing in the United States at this time. How do I know? If the people of both parties respected the Constitution, national laws, and freedom, why would remarks be necessary to attack and refute doctrine to the contrary?  Case closed.

With the Democrats/Socialists/Communists… The more things change, the more Democrat stench stays the same.

As You Read…

As you enjoy Sen. Goldwater’s speech, see how many issues you can find alluding to the same ole Democrat/Communist/Socialist/Liberal policy playbook—with the same horrible results of ruining the great American republic.I have marked a few with abbreviated comments; the legend is included below. Please leave a comment on the “Democrat same ole” or “principled conservatism” remarks that you locate in the speech and/or your favorite remark(s).

Barry Goldwater’s Republican Presidential Nominee Acceptance Speech 1964

Goldwater’s 1964 Acceptance Speech

The following is the text of Barry Goldwater’s 1964 speech at the 28th Republican National Convention, accepting the nomination for president. Provided by the Arizona Historical Foundation

To my good friend and great Republican, Dick Nixon, and your charming wife, Pat; my running mate and that wonderful Republican who has served us well for so long, Bill Miller and his wife, Stephanie; to Thurston Morton who has done such a commendable job in chairmaning this Convention; to Mr. Herbert Hoover, who I hope is watching; and to that great American and his wife, General and Mrs. Eisenhower; to my own wife, my family, and to all of my fellow Republicans here assembled, and Americans across this great Nation.

From this moment, united and determined, we will go forward together, dedicated to the ultimate and undeniable greatness of the whole man [DR]. Together we will win.

I accept your nomination with a deep sense of humility. I accept, too, the responsibility that goes with it, and I seek your continued help and your continued guidance. My fellow Republicans, our cause is too great for any man to feel worthy of it. Our task would be too great for any man, did he not have with him the heart and the hands of this great Republican Party, and I promise you tonight that every fiber of my being is consecrated to our cause; that nothing shall be lacking from the struggle that can be brought to it by enthusiasm, by devotion, and plain hard work. In this world no person, no party can guarantee anything [BG], but what we can do and what we shall do is to deserve victory, and victory will be ours.

The good Lord raised this mighty Republic to be a home for the brave and to flourish as the land of the free-not to stagnate in the swampland of collectivism,[GT], not to cringe before the bully of communism [BG].

Now, my fellow Americans, the tide has been running against freedom. Our people have followed false prophets [Dem lies and propagandized media, i.e. fake news].. We must, and we shall, return to proven ways– not because they are old, but because they are true. We must, and we shall, set the tide running again in the cause of freedom. And this party, with its every action, every word, every breath, and every heartbeat, has but a single resolve, and that is freedom – freedom made orderly for this nation by our constitutional government; freedom under a government limited by laws of nature and of nature’s God; freedom – balanced so that liberty lacking order will not become the slavery of the prison cell; balanced so that liberty lacking order will not become the license of the mob and of the jungle [FR; AC; DR; note also ‘mob”, 1960’s riots and protests = antifa]..

Now, we Americans understand freedom. We have earned it, we have lived for it, and we have died for it. This Nation and its people are freedom’s model in a searching world [FR; America democracy one of a kind]. We can be freedom’s missionaries in a doubting world. But, ladies and gentlemen, first we must renew freedom’s mission in our own hearts and in our own homes [AF; patriotism]..

During four futile years, the administration which we shall replace has distorted and lost that faith [AC]. It has talked and talked and talked and talked the words of freedom. Now, failures cement the wall of shame in Berlin. Failures blot the sands of shame at the Bay of Pigs. Failures mark the slow death of freedom in Laos. Failures infest the jungles of Vietnam. And failures haunt the houses of our once great alliances and undermine the greatest bulwark ever erected by free nations – the NATO community. Failures proclaim lost leadership, obscure purpose, weakening wills, and the risk of inciting our sworn enemies to new aggressions and to new excesses. Because of this administration we are tonight a world divided [BF; CON] – we are a Nation becalmed [motionless, unable to move, gridlocked]. We have lost the brisk pace of diversity and the genius of individual creativity. We are plodding at a pace set by centralized planning, red tape, rules without responsibility, and regimentation without recourse [BG].

Rather than useful jobs in our country, people have been offered bureaucratic “make work,” [BG] rather than moral leadership, they have been given bread and circuses, spectacles, and, yes, they have even been given scandals. Tonight there is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness among our youth, anxiety among our elders and there is a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the inner meaning of their lives. Where examples of morality should be set, the opposite is seen. Small men, seeking great wealth or power, have too often and too long turned even the highest levels of public service into mere personal opportunity. [this entire paragraph describes how Democrats ruin EVERYTHING they touch].

Now, certainly, simple honesty is not too much to demand of men in government. We find it in most. Republicans demand it from everyone. They demand it from everyone no matter how exalted or protected his position might be. The growing menace in our country tonight, to personal safety, to life, to limb and property, in homes, in churches, on the playgrounds, and places of business, particularly in our great cities, is the mounting concern, or should be, of every thoughtful citizen in the United States.[yes]

Security from domestic violence, no less than from foreign aggression, is the most elementary and fundamental purpose of any government, and a government that cannot fulfill that purpose is one that cannot long command the loyalty of its citizens [BG; AC; illegal immigration, refugees]. History shows us – demonstrates that nothing – nothing prepares the way for tyranny more than the failure of public officials to keep the streets from bullies and marauders [BG; violent illegals; jihadis, antifa, black lives matter, occupy wall street, Kavanaugh protesters, Berkeley, Portland, all left-wing funded protesters].

Now, we Republicans see all this as more, much more, than the rest: of mere political differences or mere political mistakes. We see this as the result of a fundamentally and absolutely wrong view of man, his nature and his destiny [AF, FR, BG, DR]. Those who seek to live your lives for you, to take your liberties in return for relieving you of yours, those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for divine will, and this Nation was founded upon the rejection of that notion and upon the acceptance of God as the author of freedom [BG, DR].

Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism [entire paragraph FR; BG; CON; DR; AC]

Fellow Republicans, it is the cause of Republicanism to resist concentrations of power, private or public, which enforce such conformity and inflict such despotism [BG, BIG]. It is the cause of Republicanism to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people. And, so help us God, that is exactly what a Republican president will do with the help of a Republican Congress.

Fellow Republicans, it is the cause of Republicanism to resist concentrations of power, private or public, which enforce such conformity and inflict such despotism

It is further the cause of Republicanism to restore a clear understanding of the tyranny of man over man in the world at large. It is our cause to dispel the foggy thinking which avoids hard decisions in the illusion that a world of conflict will somehow mysteriously resolve itself into a world of harmony, if we just don’t rock the boat or irritate the forces of aggression – and this is hogwash [entire paragraph, BG; remember “don’t mention radical Islam and they won’t attack? hogwash.]

It is further the cause of Republicanism to remind ourselves, and the world, that only the strong can remain free, that only the strong can keep the peace.

Now, I needn’t remind you, or my fellow Americans regardless of party, that Republicans have shouldered this hard responsibility and marched in this cause before. It was Republican leadership under Dwight Eisenhower that kept the peace, and passed along to this administration the mightiest arsenal for defense the world has ever known. And I needn’t remind you that it was the strength and the unbelievable will of the Eisenhower years that kept the peace by using our strength, by using it in the Formosa Straits and in Lebanon and by showing it courageously at all times [BF; “peace through strength” principle used also by Presidents Reagan and Trump].

It was during those Republican years that the thrust of Communist imperialism was blunted. It was during those years of Republican leadership that this world moved closer, not to war, but closer to peace, than at any other time in the three decades just passed.

And I needn’t remind you – but I will – that it’s been during Democratic years that our strength to deter war has stood still, and even gone into a planned decline. It has been during Democratic years that we have weakly stumbled into conflict, timidly refusing to draw our own lines against aggression, deceitfully refusing to tell even our people of our full participation, and tragically, letting our finest men die on battlefields (unmarked by purpose, unmarked by pride or the prospect of victory) [BF, BG, DM, CON; “refusing to draw our own lines…” LBJ as much as communist as Obama].

Yesterday it was Korea. Tonight it is Vietnam. Make no bones of this. Don’t try to sweep this under the rug. We are at war in Vietnam. And yet the President, who is Commander-in-Chief of our forces, refuses to say – refuses to say, mind you, whether or not the objective over there is victory. And his Secretary of Defense continues to mislead and misinform the American people, and enough of it has gone by.[CON].

And I needn’t remind you, but I will; it has been during Democratic years that a billion persons were cast into Communist captivity and their fate cynically sealed [BF; BG; CON].

Today in our beloved country we have an administration which seems eager to deal with communism in every coin known – from gold to wheat, from consulates to confidence, and even human freedom itself.

The Republican cause demands that we brand communism as a principal disturber of peace in the world today Indeed, we should brand it as the only significant disturber of the peace, and we must make clear that until its goals of conquest are absolutely renounced and its rejections with all nations tempered, communism and the governments it now controls are enemies of every man on earth who is or wants to be free [BG].

We here in America can keep the peace only if we remain vigilant and only if we remain strong. Only if we keep our eyes open and keep our guard up can we prevent war. And I want to make this abundantly clear – I don’t intend to let peace or freedom be torn from our grasp because of lack of strength or lack of will – and that I promise you Americans.

I believe that we must look beyond the defense of freedom today to its extension tomorrow. I believe that the communism which boasts it will bury us will, instead, give way to the forces of freedom. And I can see in the distant and yet recognizable future the outlines of a world worthy our dedication, our every risk, our every effort, our every sacrifice along the way. Yes, a world that will redeem the suffering of those who will be liberated from tyranny. I can see and I suggest that all thoughtful men must contemplate the flowering of an Atlantic civilization, the whole world of Europe unified and free, trading openly across its borders, communicating openly across the world. This is a goal far, far more meaningful than a moon shot [Goldwater perhaps knew something we did not? LBJ is from Texas and NASA HQ in Houston? Moon exploration began at this time in history].

It’s a truly inspiring goal for all free men to set for themselves during the latter half of the twentieth century. I can also see – and all free men must thrill to – the events of this Atlantic civilization joined by its great ocean highway to the United States. What a destiny, what a destiny can be ours to stand as a great central pillar linking Europe, the Americans and the venerable and vital peoples and cultures of the Pacific. I can see a day when all the Americas, North and South, will be linked in a mighty system, a system in which the errors and misunderstandings of the past will be submerged one by one in a rising tide of prosperity and interdependence. We know that the misunderstandings of centuries are not to be wiped away in a day or wiped away in an hour. But we pledge – we pledge that human sympathy – what our neighbors to the South call that attitude of “simpatico” – no less than enlightened self’-interest will be our guide [this is ‘open borders’ talk, but Goldwater did not perceive a world with socialist and communist governments].

I can see this Atlantic civilization galvanizing and guiding emergent nations everywhere.

I know this freedom is not the fruit of every soil. I know that our own freedom was achieved through centuries, by unremitting efforts by brave and wise men. I know that the road to freedom is a long and a challenging road. I know also that some men may walk away from it, that some men resist challenge, accepting the false security of governmental paternalism.

And I pledge that the America I envision in the years ahead will extend its hand in health, in teaching and in cultivation, so that all new nations will be at least encouraged to go our way, so that they will not wander down the dark alleys of tyranny or to the dead-end streets of collectivism. My fellow Republicans, we do no man a service by hiding freedom’s light under a bushel of mistaken humility.

I seek an American proud of its past, proud of its ways, proud of its dreams, and determined actively to proclaim them. But our example to the world must, like charity, begin at home [AF]..

In our vision of a good and decent future, free and peaceful, there must be room for deliberation of the energy and talent of the individual – otherwise our vision is blind at the outset [encouraging capitalism].

We must assure a society here which, while never abandoning the needy or forsaking the helpless, nurtures incentives and opportunity for the creative and the productive. We must know the whole good is the product of many single contributions.

I cherish a day when our children once again will restore as heroes the sort of men and women who – unafraid and undaunted – pursue the truth, strive to cure disease, subdue and make fruitful our natural environment and produce the inventive engines of production, science, and technology.

This Nation, whose creative people have enhanced this entire span of history, should again thrive upon the greatness of all those things which we, as individual citizens, can and should do. During Republican years, this again will be a nation of men and women, of families proud of their role, jealous of their responsibilities, unlimited in their aspirations – a Nation where all who can will be self-reliant.

We Republicans see in our constitutional form of government the great framework which assures the orderly but dynamic fulfillment of the whole man, and we see the whole man as the great reason for instituting orderly government in the first place [FR; DR].

[Republicans] see, in private property and in economy based upon and fostering private property, the one way to make government a durable ally of the whole man, rather than his determined enemy.

We see, in private property and in economy based upon and fostering private property, the one way to make government a durable ally of the whole man, rather than his determined enemy. We see in the sanctity of private property the only durable foundation for constitutional government in a free society. And beyond that, we see, in cherished diversity of ways, diversity of thoughts, of motives and accomplishments. We do not seek to lead anyone’s life for him – we seek only to secure his rights and to guarantee him opportunity to strive, with government performing only those needed and constitutionally sanctioned tasks which cannot otherwise be performed [entire paragraph anti-Democrat big government].

We Republicans seek a government that attends to its inherent responsibilities of maintaining a stable monetary and fiscal climate, encouraging a free and a competitive economy and enforcing law and order. Thus do we seek inventiveness, diversity, and creativity within a stable order, for we Republicans define government’s role where needed at many, many levels, preferably through the one closest to the people involved [federalism; limited government].

Our towns and our cities, then our counties, then our states, then our regional contacts – and only then, the national government. That, let me remind you, is the ladder of liberty, built by decentralized power. On it also we must have balance between the branches of government at every level.

Balance, diversity, creativity – these are the elements of Republican equation. Republicans agree, Republicans agree heartily to disagree on many, many of their applications, but we have never disagreed on the basic fundamental issues of why you and I are Republicans.

This is a party, this Republican Party, a Party for free men, not for blind followers, and not for conformists [GT].

Back in 1858 Abraham Lincoln said this of the Republican party – and I quote him, because he probably could have said it during the last week or so: “It was composed of strained, discordant, and even hostile elements” in 1858. Yet all of these elements agreed on one paramount objective: To arrest the progress of slavery, and place it in the course of ultimate extinction.

This is a party, this Republican Party, a Party for free men, not for blind followers, and not for conformists.

Today, as then, but more urgently and more broadly than then, the task of preserving and enlarging freedom at home and safeguarding it from the forces of tyranny abroad is great enough to challenge all our resources and to require all our strength. Anyone who joins us in all sincerity, we welcome. Those who do not care for our cause, we don’t expect to enter our ranks in any case. And let our Republicanism, so focused and so dedicated, not be made fuzzy and futile by unthinking and stupid labels [Identify politics].

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

The beauty of the very system we Republicans are pledged to restore and revitalize, the beauty of this Federal system of ours is in its reconciliation of diversity with unity. We must not see malice in honest differences of opinion, and no matter how great, so long as they are not inconsistent with the pledges we have given to each other in and through our Constitution. Our Republican cause is not to level out the world or make its people conform in computer regimented sameness [GT].. Our Republican cause is to free our people and light the way for liberty throughout the world.

Ours is a very human cause for very humane goals.

This Party, its good people, and its unquestionable devotion to freedom, will not fulfill the purposes of this campaign which we launch here now until our cause has won the day, inspired the world, and shown the way to a tomorrow worthy of all our yesteryears.

I repeat, I accept your nomination with humbleness, with pride, and you and I are going to fight for the goodness of our land. Thank you.
