The Democratic Party has now been completely taken over by the people from the far left. These far left elements have driven many of the center-left and moderates out of the center stage of the party. Those who represent the center-left and the moderate faction of the party are now simply keeping quiet in order to keep their positions, and are looking to go with the flow. The far left has become so influential, that the only struggle for power that seems to be prevalent right now is between them and everybody else who oppose them. People like Joe Biden, Robert Byrd, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer along with Hollywood stars like Susan Sarandon,
Barbra Streisand, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, and Spike Lee are in control of the Democratic Party now. (I have not mentioned Edward Kennedy, because to me he had lost touch with reality long ago and only speaks to see himself on the TV.) Moderates and center-left people like Joseph Lieberman are not only shunned by the media, but are being neglected by the rest of the party. It seems that all the supporters are on the side of the far-left elements as well, who only want to want see people who agree with their ideas or who will work on their agenda to remain in the party leadership. Likewise, they simply do not want to see anyone they have no control or influence over like conservatives, moderates or even the center-left elements, people who have been considered very much part of the Democratic Party.

The far left elements have become so influential in propagating their extreme ideas, that even the moderate liberals are made to look like conservatives and right wingers. They are using the media and Hollywood to propagate their agenda perplexing and confusing the public, and make people who oppose them look like fools. They have even gone to the extent of making remarks on President Bushs speeches, even before he actually made them. Instead of supporting the American cause in Afghanistan, the message they send out demoralizes the troops there and actually helps the terrorists, while they still hold that they support the troops.

In fact, they are not concerned with the problems of the American people or the general public welfare. In fact, they have hedonistic tendencies and are interested in no one except themselves. They will do just about anything to stay in power. Their ideas have support only in the elite and celebrities, who have little in common with the public. Like President Bill Clinton, they take credit for everything that is right with America, and blame everything wrong on their opponents.

They have even used former President Jimmy Carter, who in my opinion is one of the most honest and caring men who dwelled in the White House, to criticize the policies of the Bush Administration.
Carter does not really represent their agenda, but due to his blind faith in the good intentions of other people, which he has displayed throughout his career. He is under the impression that the world would become a much peaceful place if the policies of the far left are followed. So that makes him a natural spokesperson for their cause.

As far as the celebrities and the Hollywood stars that support and are part of the far left are concerned, nothing in their lives connect with the people of America. They are isolated from the world of a common citizen and have no idea of the problems the general public is up against, which explains the kind of causes they support most of the time. They are spending their lives in the lap of luxury, traveling in the most illustrious manner and are known for their display of extravagance. It is no wonder why they can talk about raising taxes with such ease; they can easily afford to pay them themselves with all that money and wealth. They can talk about rehabilitating drug addicts, since they work with a lot of people who use drugs. It is not a surprise that they can talk about shutting down nuclear plants and new oil exploration projects; they have nothing to bother about if their electricity bill rises unlike an average American. They are advocates of criminal rights and demand weapons control. Why not? They are almost inaccessible to the public anyway and guard themselves with elaborate security themselves. They dont even have the slightest of exposure to the threats a common man can face. Why should they be bothered if some shopkeeper has been robbed, or if a woman is raped, or if someone is shot dead, they may even barely have the knowledge of all that. Even some may argue that they may come from poor backgrounds, but bad memories are easily forgotten through luxuries.

Celebrities that do know about the issues that concern the general public do speak against criminals; lend a voice in support of the war against terrorism, and for better standard of living and cheaper utilities. While others go as far as acknowledging ridiculing those who believe in god or support conservative or moderates or back the policies of President Bush. It is an open secret that Hollywood is highly politicized. People like Michael Moore, who is an active Democrat and is known for his anti-Administration movies, is hailed as a hero despite the poor quality of his work, and a movie about Jesus Christ by
Mel Gibson is dumped and ignored just because it does not represent their ideas, despite its popularity with the public. That just doesnt matter in Hollywood anymore. Even the most talented people can be deprived of work due to this factor.
