Comment on Gateway Pundit: Democrat-Leninists

Senator Paul Kirk (D-MA), appointed to warm Ted Kennedy's seat until a special election can be held for someone to serve the remainder of the term, says he will not yield the seat to the Republican Scott Brown before the vote on health care reform should Brown defeat the Democrat Martha Coakley.

To the article Scott Brown Releases Statement on Appointed Sen. Kirk’s Intentions to be 60th Vote I contributed a comment:

It would be more honest for the Democrat party to drop all pretense to a connection to democracy and change their name to the Leninist party instead.

Theirs is the pursuit of power for the straightforward purpose of exercising power. To that end, they will frustrate the freely expressed will of the people in the democratic process, if that is what their exercise of power requires. They will subvert the process using ACORN and similar proxies. They will dilute the votes of those opposed to their power grab by giving citizenship freely to large numbers of aliens from foreign political cultures in which their kind of political and economic manipulation are a way of life.

If they win, America has lost.

I go into the definition of Leninism in the China book on which I am working.

The Chinese Communist Party was and is above all a Leninist party, a vanguard revolutionary party professing to exercise power on behalf of the people’s democratic dictatorship. Stripping away all the ugly Soviet jargon and everything extraneous, what that means is that its essence is pure power, for as Lenin said, “Dictatorship is rule based directly upon force and unrestricted by any laws.” [The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky, Foreign Languages Press, 1972, p11] (Emphasis added.)
