Commentary for Friday 12/01/2006 Only Democratic When They Win

The anti-democratic Left: Democracies everywhere are in mortal danger from the socialist left. Even after an election, Leftist leaders promote upheaval and distrust in the democratic system. (Not so when they win)

This point was driven home to me in the wake of the 2000 presidential election. It was demonstrated that the left would go to any length to win. The official Florida vote count was tossed aside by the left, as they pursued a vote count with the Democrat party faithful holding up ballots to the light and trying to "divine" the intention of the voter. Challenged votes were not counted because of their vagueness, not because of any intention to defraud democrats.

The Supreme Court intervened: Even a not so conservative Supreme Court stopped the charade. They didn't stop the "divination" of voter's intention because they wanted to install G.W. Bush as president. Rather, their decision was to preserve the idea of democratic rule.

Now comes the Mexican Election Debacle: Leftist again demonstrate that they are not willing to abide by a close election. They are not just sore losers; their promotion of non-conformity after losing a close election threatens the foundation of Democracy. Indeed, one could ask: Why even have elections if a party can win power using mob rule? Is this what the left wants? What's happening in Mexico should send cold chills down the spine of every peace-loving person who believes that the citizens have the right to choose their leaders.
