Deceitful

 

The left seeks to destroy.

Once upon a time in this great experiment known as the United States, a more perfect union was formed. Thirteen States declared their independence from England, fought, won the Revolutionary War, and achieved their independence from England. Free at last from the bonds of monarchy, the founding fathers formed a new nation, with a new form of government, by, for, and of the people, a Constitutional Republic. Citizens would vote to elect their representatives in Congress, a President, and Vice-President. Each State also organized to govern each State’s affairs. Federal government was limited, but Federal statutes did take precedence over State and local laws.

This balancing act worked well until 1861, when a group of southern states decided that they were no longer bound by federal law. And so, the Civil War began, not exclusively about slavery, but begun by seditionists that wished to secede from the Union. A bloody war ensued, sometimes pitting brother against brother, completely unnecessary if all sides had adhered to the rule of law. Today, we have our own group of seditionists, also known as the democrat party. When a party is in the minority, they were intended to act as the loyal opposition. Today democrats have instead become a party of neo-confederates, attacking the rule of law.

Democrat run cities and states now proclaim their intention to ignore Federal law. Democrat leaders in those jurisdictions declare that Federal law enforcement can and will be subject to arrest by local law enforcement. Yes, they are actually threatening an armed stand-off, cop vs. cop. Will the first shots fired be tantamount to the first shots fired by confederate troops at Fort Sumter? It is indeed unfortunate that democrats, in their zeal to regain power, have thrown caution to the wind. Six democrat members of Congress, former military or intelligence officers, produced a video exhorting armed forces members to question authority in a misguided effort to undermine the commander in chief. This is nothing short of treason and those democrats should be prosecuted severely.

We are reaching a tipping point in the political discourse in this nation. It is one thing when criminals violate the laws but is another thing entirely when our elected leaders do the same, believing their positions of authority will shield them from accountability. Crime is rampant in many democrat run cities. When criminals are arrested, soft on crime District Attorneys often refuse to prosecute, releasing them to reoffend. Under the guise of the perceived racial disparity in prison population, democrat run cities are reluctant to incarcerate persons of color. Even though persons of color remain a minority population, they commit a majority of crimes.

Actions of the democrat leadership threaten the very foundations of this great nation. Outright lies to hinder the administration from conducting the people’s business to ingratiate themselves with their radical left base is unconscionable. As more of the democrat party’s corruption is uncovered, perhaps those who have long supported democrats will take a long hard look to see if the current crop of democrats represents their values. There is good reason that democrats fight so hard against streamlining government and rooting out corruption. They most benefit from the ill-begotten gains that a lack of accountability and oversight renders.

“Do not participate in the things these people do.  For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!  For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.  Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.” Ephesians 5:7-11

We must do our best to expose the evil that is overcoming this world. Democrat leaders are resolved to align with the left. The left is antithetical to God’s will. The left is opposed to our very way of life. The left wages war against our God and His people. Our leaders need to return to God. The only way to compel those in power to amend the error of their ways is to expose them to the light of day. Those that refuse to change must be voted out of office or they will continue in their evil ways. We are to shine the light of God to be a light to the world. The evil from the left will thrive if left to hide in the dark.

No longer can we stand by idly. No longer can we be quiet Christians. No longer can we wait for someone else to speak out. No longer can we go along to get along. If you wait for pastors to preach it from the pulpit, you may wait forever. The very souls of those influenced by the evil one are at risk. We must call out those who are content to gain wealth and power from their denial of God. If they are not called out, they will continue to travel the wide path to their destruction, and our nation will follow in their wake. The time is now.

Loyal Opposition

 

The key to a functional democracy.

Per the Mirriam-Webster dictionary; a minority party especially in a legislative body whose opposition to the party in power is constructive, responsible, and bounded by loyalty to fundamental interests and principles. A well-fortified minority will tend to improve legislative debate and can become a genuine loyal opposition.

·         Minority Party

Even though they seem to have failed to grasp this fact, democrats are the minority party and as such, they need work with the majority in order to legitimately govern in the United States Congress. The minority cannot pass any legislative bills without votes from the majority party. They do not hold leadership positions in either the House or Senate. They do not chair any committees. Any legislation desired by democrats must first be approved and moved to the floor for debate by the majority leader. Although the legacy media amplifies democrat denunciations, they do so with the realization that democrats are powerless to impose their will due to their minority standing. This is how a Constitutional Republic is supposed to function. As Barack Obama famously declared, “Elections have consequences.”

·         Opposition Party

Democrats certainly do check the opposition box, as they obstruct the majority party, and vehemently oppose any policy actions brought forward by the administration. With lawsuits filed before hand-picked radical leftist judges they attempt to derail the administration’s agenda. Under the umbrella of the democrat party, their allies organize protests, disrupt Congressional member’s town halls, and foment violence against their “enemies.” Democrat leaders, not only fail to denounce the violence, but they also attempt to justify these unlawful actions. Democrats have become the bitter clingers as Obama accused conservatives. They cling to their strawman arguments, condemning the 1%, accusing others of being existential threats to democracy that they themselves have become, and worshiping at the altar of government largesse.

·         Constructive

They refuse to engage in any meaningful, bipartisan, or constructive debate to conduct the people’s business, instead, consistently with explicit rancor, condemn their counterparts, accusing them of the very behavior they themselves engage in. Democrats erect a virtual wall between themselves and any semblance of bipartisanship, chastising their own if they dare to challenge their chosen narrative. Denouncing policies that a vast majority of the populace supports leaves the democrats on an island. They continue to support leftist ideology that is soundly rejected by their constituency. Democrats criticize DOGE and Elon Musk when waste, fraud, and inefficiencies are exposed, choosing to protect their public sector union benefactors rather than the taxpayers they are charged to represent. As always, the people are on the short end of this bargain.

·         Responsible

Democrats have exchanged responsible actions with reprehensible behavior. They shout blatant lies from the mountaintops, from declaring MAGA an existential threat to democracy to Elon Musk is stealing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from you. Pushing a false narrative has never hampered democrats if those lies further their quest for money and power. We have witnessed the weak-minded individuals that have lashed out in violence in response to democrat lies.

·         Loyal

Democrat loyalty remains with the leftist ideology that they still believe is the best option to remain in and regain power. They willfully ignore the Constitution by manipulating voting rules, immigration laws, and continue to engage in lawfare, using rogue, leftist judges to hamstring the duly elected President’s, and by virtue of his election, the people’s agenda.

·         Well-fortified minority

Democrats are fortified by money from left wing organizations and the usual suspects, George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and their ilk. ActBlue, NGO’s, and non-profits launder money and provide cover for democrat illegal campaign fund raising, while furthering illegal immigration schemes, voter fraud, and other leftist goals.

·         Fundamental interests and principals

Democrats are fundamentally opposed to whatever gets in the way of their own self-interests, including their constituency. Their principals have devolved into unconditional support for transgenderism, illegal immigration, and stopping Trump by any means necessary. Opposition to school choice, when public schools are failing miserably, is evidence that their teacher’s union benefactors are paramount in their decision making.

·         Improve legislative debate

Debate in Congress has devolved into shouting matches, derogatory accusations, and downright disruptive behavior by democrats.

Democrats have proven that they have totally disregarded their duty as the loyal opposition and have become merely a conduit for leftist ideology. Democrats will burn the country down if it means they can regain power and rule over the ashes. The democrat party has lost support, exponentially as they are viewed as an obstructive body. In a recent poll, less than 50% of democrats support their own party. Democrats need to be marginalized until such a time as they choose to moderate their extreme positions. If they fail to do so, they need to be voted out of office, wholesale.
