David Horowitz: 'Creepy Marxist Take-Over of the Democrat Party'

"David Horowitz: The Democratic Party is Now a Communist Party
David Joel Horowitz (born January 10, 1939) is an American conservative writer. He is a founder and current president of the think tank the David Horowitz Freedom Center; editor of the Center's publication, FrontPage Magazine; and director of Discover the Networks, a website that tracks individuals and groups on the political left. Horowitz also founded the organization Students for Academic Freedom.

Horowitz has written several books. In this talk he talks about his new book  "Big Agenda, Trump and The Left."

"David Horowitz: The Creepy Marxist Take-Over of the Democrat Party." Is originally what this post was about, with former New-Left (now New-Right) commentator David Horowitz talking about what he apparently believes is a Marxist-Communist takeover of the Democratic Party. But what said about the Democratic Party then, is longer available online, except for what I wrote about it here.  

David Horowitz is wrong about a big point here: the Bernie Sanders Socialists are at best 1/3 of the Democratic Party right now. And if you don't believe me, just look at Congressional Democrats where the so-called Progressive Caucus in the House (Progressives in name only and Socialists in actuality) have maybe 60 members in a caucus of around 200. 

And then you look at the Senate, only Bernie Sanders is a self-described Socialist and then you have people like Ed Markey and perhaps a few others who are very left-wing, but are also very pragmatic and will vote with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer most of the time. Who is a New York Progressive Democrat, but would be an insult to any Socialist anywhere in the world.  

The Republican Party has their Far-Right wing of Christian-Nationalists and Nationalists who claim to be Christian, but who are really just anti-minority, anti-women, militiamen. And the Democratic Party has their Far-Left wing made of Socialists (self-described and closeted) who in come cases want to transform the United States into a social democracy, but the radicals of that movement want America to be a socialist state, whether they ever admit it or not.

This might sound harsh but I believe Lana Turner's life represents a Hollywood character and actress who struggled to get out of character when she was off stage. Actresses and actors when they make it in Hollywood and even become popular to the point where everyone interested in movies and TV knows who they are pick up an image. And believe they have to live up to that image to keep their popularity and stay hot in the business. Even if that image is not positive.

Like with Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield being known as blond bimbos and living up to that on and off camera. Even though in real life where actually pretty intelligent. Or James Dean being known as a teen rebel who is always taking on society and never quite settles down personally and is always fighting.

I believe in Lana Turner's case she picked up the image as a soap actress character on some show where she has all the money any person could have and could have any man at anytime and ends up with every man and even marrying every man. Has kids with every man she gets involved with. (At least practically) Sounds like at least two female characters on General Hospital and if you're familiar with the show and are a fan, you probably know who I'm talking about.

Lana Turner was perfect for soap operas because she was perfect for dramatic comedy. Both in her personal life as far as how she lived both intentionally and unintentionally, but she was also a great actress and a very funny woman as well. Which made her perfect for dramatic comedy which is what most good soap operas are like General Hospital, Dallas, Melrose Place, to use as examples, Days of Our Lives. To me at least Lana Turner's life was the story of a great soap opera. A lot of ups and downs, falls, and dramatic comebacks and she was one of the best soap actresses, as well as characters that we've ever had.
