The changing of the democratic guard ...

[dogtag]

It's taking place before our eyes - the old ones are out,
the new ones are in. Trouble is that the new ones are
communists. They might not all admit to it, but they are.
If this new guard manages to take charge of the House
come November then the rest of the old guard like Nancy
Pelosi will have trouble holding on to the reins. An even
more frightening scenario could present itself two years
hence because to these young idealists the thoughts of
free health care, college tuition and the like could be really
hard to resist at the ballot box. Add to that the democrat
knack of sneaking extra votes into the box when needed
and their expertise at getting voters not only registered,
but magically able to vote in many places at the same time.

Keep your powder dry.

Don't sympathize for farmer Pelosi and her ilk. Reaping the seeds she and the rest have sown. Now their Frankenstein Krakens are loosed. It's their mess and they won't clean it up. Bottom line is she won an election. People voted for her and they're getting what they deserve.

From the article:

Ayanna Pressley is the second progressive woman of color to defeat a long-term male white incumbent this cycle.

So, what's next for the media to hype? The first woman of color with a mole on her nose? The first elected black woman who's driven nothing but Chevys? Does it really matter whether she defeated a white person or a purple elephant? What would the press have to say if the last name were Rodriguez? I remember Colin Powell declining to run for POTUS because he wouldn't be remembered as Colin Powell.
