What is democracy? How has democracy evolved over the past 400 years? Clay Barham takes a close look at how the Democratic Party has changed from a conservative and libertarian party to one with a very left-wing liberal agenda.Barham's research explores how the "Bourbon Democrats" from the late 1800s to the early 1900s represented the party's true agenda: encouraging business interests, supporting banking and industry goals, opposing overseas expansion, and strongly supporting reform movements for the greater good and best interest of a free society. When did those policies begin to change to now seem to favor those who do not promote the integrity and growth of a nation? How did Democrats come to be viewed as left-wing radicals? Barham's riveting narration brilliantly takes the reader to the turning point of what happened and why. Whether your views are Democrat or Republican, this narration is a study of history, fact, and the political leadership that transformed the Democratic Party's agenda to subtly instill the values of Marxism, communism, and socialism. It brings to glaring light how a nation of people have been duped into believing that present day Democrat values reflect the true principles of a democratic society.Author Bio: Clay Barham is a writer and retired organizational psychologist and outplacement counselor.Mr. Barham has written The Roots of Freedom and other books reflecting his views.
