Samantha Power Is a Dangerous Ideologue – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Samantha Power is a dangerous ideologue, and the ideology she promotes within the Biden administration is what Pat Buchanan calls democratism. In his book Day of Reckoning, Buchanan described the democratist temptation as the worship of democracy as a form of governance and the concomitant ambition to see all mankind embrace it. It is an ideology embraced previously by George W. Bush after the 9/11 attacks which asserts a right to meddle in the affairs of every country on earth. It is Wilsonianism on steroids. After all, Woodrow Wilson sought only to make the world safe for democracy. Samantha Power seeks to make democracy universal throughout the globe. And she is willing to have our government intervene in the domestic affairs of other nations including their elections, economies, and digital media to bring her utopian dream to fruition. That dream, as she writes, is to swing the pendulum of history back toward democratic rule. And with the Global Infrastructure and Investment program, the Biden administration has, unsurprisingly, added wokeism to democratism.

Samantha Power displays a foreign policy hubris that would have made the Founding Fathers blush. It is hubris based on an ideology that would have been foreign to George Washington and John Quincy Adams indeed, foreign to almost all American statesmen until very recent times. And that is because most practical statesmen understand that geopolitics, not ideology, must be the basis of a nation s foreign policy.

The thing about democratism is how undemocratic it is. Most people in this country at least don’t want it and don’t vote for it. It’s unpopular. And yet I guess you just have to keep manipulating the presses and cooking the votes until you get what you want — the democratic solution. It’s weird.
