According to Wikipedia(en.wikipedia.org), the author favors Libertarianism, so obviously he is hostile to Democrats:
Shafer has written supportively of libertarianism. He wrote, “Traditionally, the state censors and marginalizes voices while private businesses tend to remain tolerant.”[4] In 2000, he explained his political views as follows: “I agree with the Libertarian Party platform: much smaller government, much lower taxes, an end to income redistribution, repeal of the drug laws, fewer gun laws, a dismantled welfare state, an end to corporate subsidies, First Amendment absolutism, a scaled-back warfare state. (You get the idea.)”
