For our 250th anniversary, the new blue ‘founding fathers’ are crushing the right

I have long maintained that certain Republicans, conservatives and people of faith are the ones primarily to blame for their own fears about the U.S. “being destroyed by the Democrats and far left.” Two recent news items only served to reinforce my belief. 

The first was a recent blurb in Politico Playbook referencing a piece from The New York Times headlined “How Democrats are embracing dark money.” It said that the Times, “using campaign finance records, tax filings, internal fund-raising documents and interviews with dozens of Democratic operatives, has pieced together how hundreds of millions of dollars donated mainly by wealthy individuals and corporations are coursing through the progressive ecosystem.” 

Shocking! Massively wealthy left-of-center individuals and corporations funneling money through the “progressive ecosystem,” to the benefit of liberal and far-left candidates and causes? Gee, when has that ever happened before?

Politico Playbook, also featured this tidbit: “Leading the Future, the umbrella group coordinating the AI industry’s $125-million super PAC network, is throwing its weight behind five House Democrats as it works to shape legislative fights around AI.”

Reading between the lines, one can surmise that, after a few Big Tech names went all in for the Republicans — Elon Musk topping that short list — the greater tech world is reverting to form and once again going blue.

To me, this has always been as simple as liberal and far-left billionaires putting their money behind their beliefs. Good for them. Isn’t that the American way? 

Conservative media can pound on George Soros all they........
