No Republican President has instituted a draft since Abraham Lincoln during
the Civil War. Democrats, however, cannot imagine fighting a war without a
draft. John Kerry has frequently accused the Bush administration of having a
secret plan to reinstate the draft. There is no question that, if elected,
Kerry would push for a draft to 'resolve the current crisis.' He would blame
it on the Republicans, of course. The only bill currently before Congress to
reinstate the draft is sponsored by Democrats. Democrats have a long history
of proposing such measures, including drafts for 'peaceful' purposes such as
the Peace Corps. This is in keeping with the historical and philosophical
origins of the Democratic Party, which was founded to protect the rights of
slave owners and to represent slave states. After all, if everyone is the
slave of the US government (which they frequently allege), then what is
wrong with private ownership of humans? This philosophical view is the
foundation for Democratic positions on everything from trade unions to the
right to bear arms to taxation, and it is why Democratic 'intellectuals' are
basically aristocratic elitists.
