Democrats Will Lose Because They Offer No Hope

There is no hope that those on welfare can take the reins of their own destiny.
There is no hope that God can be both primary in our hearts and ancillary in our politics.
There is no hope that marriage can remain a solely heterosexual institution.
There is no hope that persons of different races can be equal without inaccurate labels and unfair privileges, endowments and reparations, because it is more important to Democrats that we all be divided into subcategories and defined by our differences.
It is the Achilles-esque flaw of the Democrats to assume that Americans want everything handed to them. This misguided notion has subsumed their entire ideology and become the platter upon which they would serve us our gilded final meal, a slice of apple pie from the Tree of Knowledge.
So on Election Day, remember: the Republicans can not give you an easy life free from worry and work. But they can offer you hope. And that is more than the Democrats ever could.
