The actions of the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Sunday reached a new level of corruption and inappropriate behavior that effectively validates that there no longer is a Democratic Party, as the Democratic Party now takes its marching orders from the leftist Progressives and George Soros.

The failure to show any regard for bipartisanship, the deals behind closed doors, the threats from party leaders, and the use of taxpayer money should awaken any Democrat who cares about the future of America. Of even greater importance was the blatant display of absolute disdain for traditional American values such as honesty and respect for other opinions.

For anyone who cares about individual freedom and the liberty that we have taken for granted, it is time to wake up and realize that the leftist Progressives who now dominate the Democratic Party have direct ties to multiple radical, anti-American groups through organizations such as the Institute For Policy Studies and the Movement For A Democratic Society.

The Progressive Caucus in the House of Representatives now has 83 members, counting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and views itself as a power bloc to the Democrats. Concerning Soros, through MoveOn.org, it has been made clear that financial support for Democrats is dependent upon following the expectations of Soros and the Progressive movement.

The money available for the Progressive takeover of America is staggering, led by Soros and his allies such as the Democracy Alliance group.

President Barack Obama also has proudly presented himself as being a Progressive, which explains the failure of both the executive and legislative branches of our government to follow the Constitution that has made our country the greatest place to live on earth.

Sunday's events represent the most dramatic violation of our heritage and founding documents, as executive orders are used to buy votes to pass legislation that cannot stand on its own merits.

As an American who loves this country, I consider the actions and behavior in the House of Representatives to be a disgusting fraud perpetrated on the American public to fulfill the Progressive agenda, without regard for the potential of bankrupting our nation.

In fact, it is more probable that these radicals do know the potential and that it is their goal as they pursue a socialistic system that never has equaled the generation of wealth and resulting living standards for so many people as we have in the United States.

Let's not let these people dominate the Democratic Party any longer. And, above all else, we must not let these people destroy the freedoms that we have enjoyed for more than 200 years.
