Just remembered a merciless, but hardly inaccurate in the context of time, comment that a New York preacher made about the Democratic Party on the eve of the 1876 election. He called it, among other things, the party of "Rum, Ruin, and Rebellion"...recalling the party's efforts to relax state liquor control laws and its contribution to the ruin caused by the then recently concluded War of the Rebellion.
I think today it'll be apt to call the national Democrats the party of "Drugs, Divorce, and Defeat". Recreational drug use, easy divorce, and defeatism abroad seem to be the defining creedo of the liberal Democratic philosophers of the current generation.
