The LaRouchians Will Not Go Away

Disclaimer: I believe the Royal Drug Cartel is the second wackiest conspiracy theory in the history of history. At one time it was the king of the hill of all bizarre conspiracy theories. All good things come to an end and at some point last decade, Queen Pablo Elizabeth surrendered her crown to the 9/11 Truthers.


Political cults are rarer than religious cults and their attrition rate seems to be atrocious. At some point I would like to examine the appeal (for lack of a better term) of Lyndon LaRouche and the sustainability of a movement that has flourished in the face of political oppression. For sheer longevity the LaRouchians might just be the most successful political cult in US history. Is there an Anti-Mason in the house to refute this claim?

Kesha Rogers' Senate campaign might be a watershed for the LaRouche Movement. The DNC has been hijacked by Anti-American extremists and the Larouchians might fill the centrist void. Ideologically, the L-PAC crew is more in line with traditional Democratic values than is Tim Giethner or Cass Sunstein or Eli Emmanuel. For that matter, the Clintons are arguably ideologically closer to the Princes of Pamphlets and Petitions than they are to Barack Obama. The Clintons do not oppose the premise of American prosperity or the idea of American exceptionalism.

The deck is stacked against Kesha Rogers but so what? The deck was stacked against Lyndon LaRouche too and he's still going strong. Rogers is a fighter and whatever else one might say about her, she loves her country and wants what is best for this great land. And at the risk of being redundant, she adamantly opposes Obamacare. Thus, she is better qualified than her Democratic opponent.

The Democratic hierarchy is sanguine if not smug about their future. I see their status as similar to the GOP's position in the second term of Richard Nixon. Watergate was floating to the surface (can you mix metaphor better than that?) and the citizenry was disgusted with the president's abuse of power, trivial in comparison to the current tyrant-in-chief's thug tactics. The Class of 74 was a Democratic Feast that ushered in such luminaries as Tom Harkin, Max Baucus, Henry Waxman and Patrick Leahy.

Nixon turned red states blue and he was perhaps the best thing to ever happen to the Democratic Party. Barack Obama might ultimately damage his own party as much as Nixon hurt his. There are few centrists remaining in the Democratic Party. The flight of traditionalist Democrats has left a huge void. That void might just be filled by the followers of Lyndon LaRouche.

We Could Use A Lady Like Kesha Rogers

Hoosierman has covered Keisha Rogers at a friendly blog.

Slate expresses the Dems' fear. Read the piece below and try not to laugh. There is genuine resentment and concern in the land of the clever.

The Dems have been hijacked by extremists. The result is that Larouchians now seem mainstream by comparison. The writer complains about an email he got from one of the L Boys.

Did any of you idiots who are trashing Kesha Rogers and Texas voters consider that maybe voters in Texas oppose Obama's Wall Street-directed policies, such as more bailouts for Wall Street, a law which forces Americans to buy PRIVATE insurance, defense of Bushite NSA spying, drone attacks and GITMO, and committing the U.S. to regime change?  Do you all believe the line that Obama wants to do what's right, but is held back by mean Republicans, such as FOX TV and the Tea Party?

What cowards!! A real, fighting Democrat, in the FDR tradition -- and there are still some of those left in Texas -- hates the corporate agenda of today's Wall Street Dems (ever hear of Ralph Yarborough, Jim Wright, Henry B. Gonzalez?). The disaster for the Dems in Texas is when they defend the indefensible, namely the Obama regime.

The above was written by a Larouchian but I share a lot of his sympathies. We might not agree on solutions but we can agree that this administration is by far the most corrupt in the history of the United States. The followers of Lyndon Larouche would be a big improvement.
