In this second blog, I will discuss further reasons why electing Democrats to any office, local or national, is not a good idea. This should not be difficult to understand for we have had ample proof of the reluctance of Democrat governors and mayors to protect their people from violent, murderous mobs. And we have seen Democrats whom those very people elected to Congress to protect their interests remain silent while the media talked of “mostly peaceful demonstrations” as Democrat cities burned. Note always that it is Democrat run cities who continue to burn and Democrats mayors and governors who continue to distain any help from the federal government to protect their citizens. But the choice between Democrats and Republicans is even more stark.
5. Democrats believe in open borders.
The Democrat Party has become more and more radical over the last few years, moving heavily into socialism and communism. These radical ideas do not sit well with the blue collar workers who once made up a large part of their voting block. As these voters are moving to the Republican Party which actually, under President Trump, has looked out for their welfare, Democrats have become more desperate for voters. Illegal immigrants, when told that only the Democrat can protect them from deportation, will vote (illegally) for Democrats. In fact, most immigrants, escaping from totalitarian regimes and failing countries, are used to government controlling every aspect of their lives and so find it easy to vote for Democrats who promote exactly that. Porous borders allow the poor and unskilled to become a burden on our schools and welfare system while providing gardeners, maids, and nannies for wealthy Democrats at wages that a teen American would scoff at. But beyond these people, porous borders also allow murderers, rapists, gang members, drug distributors, human traffickers, terrorists, and, recently, COVID patients free access to our country. Under a Democrat open-border policy, we will soon become the third world country from which these people have fled.
Republicans and President Trump understand this simple fact. You do not have a country if you do not have enforced borders.
Legal immigrants who can contribute to making America great again are welcome to go through the process and eventually become American citizens as so many have in the past. But those who enter illegally, who “cut in line,” cannot be screened for disease or terrorist affiliations, and must be kept out for the safety of those who are American citizens. Republicans will strive to keep our borders secure and Americans safe.
6. Democrats pride themselves on being the “Party of Science,” but they make up science as they go.
According to Democrats, we have only a few years left before life on earth is burned up unless we adopt the draconian measures of the “Green New Deal.” No cows (they fart methane apparently), no gasoline powered cars, no airplanes (except for the wealthy class of the east and west coasts). We will be drinking almond milk rather than cow’s milk. Eating chicken and not steak. Retrofitting our houses at huge expense. Paying as much as three times as much for heating and cooling. Enjoying periods when we have no electricity because the wind and solar suppliers have run out of sun and wind. And all for a made up reason. Yes, made up. Not a single prediction made by their “models” has yet come to pass. Polar bears would be extinct within a few years. Yet polar bears have increased in number. Ice caps would melt and coastal cities would be under water. Hasn’t happened. While some ice melts, other ice areas have increased in size. It is all a natural pattern that has occurred from the creation of the earth. A look at charts of hot and cold periods over even just the past few centuries shows exactly that. It gets hot. It gets cold. It gets hot again. Our supposed warming, caused by too much fossil fuel according to their models, has given us in Illinois a nicely cool summer. Only a few times have the temperatures been in the nineties, unlike only a few years ago when we saw temperatures consistently in the upper nineties from July through mid-September, and some weeks when we saw temperatures above 100 for several days. Getting warmer? Only in the airports where the thermometers that they check are located and where the heat from jets and the sun-baked runways raise the temperature several degrees above what can be found a few miles away in the country.
Then we have their insane decision to ignore the science that says that DNA determines the sex of an individual. In order to attract everyone possible to their party, they now claim that even though you are born with the skeletal, muscles, and sexual parts of a male, you may choose to be a female or even “something else.” They don’t explain what something else is. Nor do they admit no number of operations and hormones will change your DNA. Thus, the also self-styled “Party of Women” allows boys and men who claim they are women to compete with women. The biological women, whom they claim to support, lose every time to the male who has “transitioned” to a woman. He still has the bone structure and the muscles of the male and that makes him stronger than his female opponents every time.
Republicans believe real science.
We believe in clean energy, but recognize that even fossil fuels can be clean. We understand that carbon dioxide which is the villain in the Democrat world is what makes crops grow and that without it we would starve to death. We recognize that you are what you are born, male or female, and there is no other choice. Those parents who force their children through gender change should be charged with child abuse and older children and adults who are uncomfortable with their gender should be given psychological assistance in becoming comfortable with who there are. Many who “change” gender regret it later and the suicide rate among these people is much higher than in the general population. This Democrat pseudo-science is destroying lives.
7. The Democrat Party calls itself the party of the non-religious.
They pride themselves on not believing in God, mocking, as former President Obama did, the middle Americans who “cling to their guns and religion.” They would force Christians to do things which are against their beliefs as the Obama administration did with the Little Sisters of the Poor. Yet, strangely, they protect Muslims and even encourage the teaching of Muslim beliefs to young children in schools. During the COVID pandemic, Democrat governors have forced churches to remain closed even while bars, casinos, and abortion clinics were allowed to be open. In Illinois, when we were allowed to open, we were only supposed to have 10 people in the building at one time. That was the minister plus 9 members of the congregation, no matter the size of the church building. In another state, attendance is now permitted, but singing, an integral part of worship, is not. Jewish people were attacked by Mayor de Blasio in New York for daring to bury their dead according to their custom while he attended a gym which, like other NYC gyms, was not open to the public.
Republicans are mostly God-fearing.
The Republican Party accepts both believers and non-believers into their fold because we make no litmus test for becoming one of us Still, under President Trump, the DOJ has supported and protected the first amendment right of Christians to worship as they choose. He and the strict constitutionalists he has appointed to the Supreme Court and the judges he has appointed to federal courts will protect our religious freedom. And he has proven himself as well, to be the most pro-life president since legalized abortion became an issue. The lives of all Americans, both born and unborn are precious to God, and thus God-fearing Republicans wish to protect all lives.
8. The Democrat Party has no love for America.
Former first lady, Michelle Obama famously said upon her husband’s nomination as the Democrat presidential candidate that for the first time ever she was proud of America. We should have paid closer attention to those words, because in the ensuing years, Democrats have shown their utter distain and even hatred for this great country. They disparage the country whenever possible, kneel during the National Anthem, removed the words “under God” from the pledge of allegiance in two instances during their National Convention, have torn down statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and even Frederick Douglass. They have attempted to rewrite the history of this country, claiming that it began in 1619 when black slaves were first brought to this country. The 1619 project is filled with so many historical errors that every true historian cringes, but the Democrats have accepted it as fact because it paints all blacks as victims yet today, victims whom only they can help. Only their help never comes.
Republican realize that no man is perfect, but we recognize the great things that this country has accomplished.
Many of our founding fathers owned slaves because that was the accepted way of life then. Yet they crafted a constitution that declared the equality of all men, regardless of color, which one day would become reality. While the British ruled the colonies, slavery continued because the British themselves brought many of the slaves here. Still, the majority of slaves from Africa went to the Caribbean and to South America. Only a small percentage were sold in the 13 colonies. And even then there were those, mostly devout Christians, who spoke out against the practice of slavery and who risked their lives to smuggle slaves to the free colonies. And less than a hundred years after the United States threw off the control of Great Britain, slavery was abolished by the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln. That was a remarkable feat for so young a country as most countries went centuries before abolishing slavery or continue to practice it today.
Indeed slavery was a blot on our history, but we must remember it in order to understand what we have become today. After slavery was abolished, Democrats in the south imposed “Jim Crow” laws that kept blacks separated from whites in schools, on busses, in waiting rooms. The great Civil Rights Movement of the 60s ended that segregation when Republicans forcesd through two amendments to the Constitution that have allowed blacks to become doctors, lawyers, business owners, CEOs, policemen, judges, congressmen, Supreme Court Justices, and even President of the United States. Republicans don’t hate America for what it once was. They love it for the good it has done for its people and for the world. They love it for the opportunity that it gives to every minority among us. Before the pandemic, more blacks and Hispanics had jobs than ever before and more women were working than since WWII. America is a city on a hill. Why else would so many want to come here?
In the end, this is an election of immorality versus morality.
Democrats have lost their moral compass. Right is whatever is expedient for them. There is no absolute right or wrong. Thus Democrats favor abortion up to the moment of birth and find nothing wrong with a baby who has survived abortion being killed or allowed to die afterwards. Black Lives Matter, whose leaders are self-proclaimed Marxists, wish to destroy the nuclear family of father mother and children, even though studies show that it is the very lack of a father in 70% of black homes that causes children to fail in life. BLM destroys the property of even law-abiding black people as they claim they are protesting the death at the hands of police of black criminals. And they ignore the blacks who are murdered by their rioters, even the black child in his stroller. These black lives do not matter to them any more than the 360,000 black babies that were aborted in 2011. Lives only matter when they advances the left’s agenda.
Democrats tried to overturn the 2016 election, defying the Constitution and American laws, simply because their candidate had lost. They cooked up a scam conspiracy in the Trump/Russian Collusion and investigated it for three years, even though they all knew that it was made up, mostly by a British ex-spy who was paid for by the DNC and the Clinton campaign. Ranking Democrats in Congress lied repeatedly about having “seen the evidence” when no such evidence existed. And they have lied repeatedly about things that President Trump has said or done, ably assisted by the left-leaning media who cheerfully misquote him regularly and ignore the good things he has done for the country.
They harass and physically attack conservative who are innocently going about their daily lives. They force businesses into firing people who dare to speak the truth. And now, fearful of losing the election, they are pushing for mail-in ballots which have no watermarks and can therefore be photocopied and filled in with fictitious names, destroyed by Democrat postal workers, and have already, in primary elections, been piled up on the floors of apartment buildings for anyone to take and vote on, mailed to dead people, mailed to people who had moved, and even mailed to pets with human sounding names. Axios claims Trump will win big on election night and then lose weeks later when the mail-in ballots are counted. Are they reminding the Democrat of what they must do? Democrats cheat.
These actions are immoral and to vote for members of a party that sees nothing wrong with lying and cheating would be the act of a fool.
Republicans are largely moral. They believe in absolute right and wrong.
Republicans don’t cheat at the polls. Republicans don’t go on national television and lie about what the other party has done. Republicans follow the law and the constitution. Republicans believe in God, in America, and in morality.
You must choose this fall between immorality and morality. Between chaos and order. Between freedom and oppression. If you choose unwisely, you and you alone will be to blame.
