The Democratic Party of the past is very different from the one we know today. JFK hated communism, stood against the U.S.S.R., and believed in tax cuts. Ronald Reagan was a democrat, before the party left him and began to go to the far left.
Today we see a Democratic Party that is far left. They don't want to stand against evil in the form of terrorism. They hate tax cuts. They love big government and they want a government that lives in every part of our lives.
