Clay Barham takes a candid, no holds barred look at the Democratic Party in The Changing Face of Democrats. 

What is democracy?  

Barham believes the original meaning has transformed into something else entirely and his narrative takes a look at the Democratic Party and its system of beliefs.   

The Democratic Party has evolved drastically over the past 200 years—from a conservative and libertarian party to one with a liberal, left-wing agenda. 

From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the “Bourbon Democrats” represented what the Democratic Party’s original ideals were; to encourage business interests in a Free Market, support industry goals, oppose overseas expansion, and support reform movements for the greater good and best interests of a free society, defending State’s Rights. 

What happened?  When and how did the policies begin to change?  Why is an entire generation growing up believing that Democrats are left-wing radicals?  Barham’s research spells out the when’s, where’s, who’s and why’s of how a once strong and strongly libertarian party has been subtlety morphing into one that seems to be a blend of Marxism, communism and socialism. 

Whether your views are Democrat or Republican, this brilliant narration is a study of history, fact, and the political leadership that altered the Democratic Party.  It brings to glaring light how a nation of people have been duped into believing that present day Democratic values reflect the true principles of a democratic society.
