Continuing now with the 10 reasons why no one (especially Christians) should have anything to do with the 2018 Democrat Party:

5–Hypocrisy/Deception  There is no shortage of hypocrisy anywhere in DC, but the Democrats have taken it to a new level. This is the party that gleefully destroyed a good man (Kavanaugh) and his family with no evidence.  But they revere Bill Clinton who actually DID those things, lied about it, was impeached, and is STILL doing those things! To democrats, evidence doesn’t matter as much as the seriousness of their false accusations.  They consider enemies guilty until they can prove their innocence and that’s not the way America works. The democrat party has become the party that is anti-hate but they hate Trump with a passion that blinds them. They are the party that is anti-bullying but bullies anyone in their way. (Ask Kanye West) The party that is tolerant but doesn’t tolerate anyone with opposing views.  The Party of peace that condones violence. The party that believes women unless they are conservative women that were raped by Bill Clinton.  This is the deception.  Words mean nothing coming from a liberal, you must pay attention to what they DO.

4–Unpatriotic values  In 2012 some Democrat strategist determined that the American Flag made voters think of the Republican party.  That’s why they decided to have a Democrat convention with no flags, until the people revolted. This is how liberals think, and that’s only the beginning.  In recent years their policies and behavior have indicated that they favor criminals over police, illegals over citizens, corruption over the Constitution, PC over common sense, division over unity… I could go on and on, so what are the American people to think?

3–Socialism/Communism  Speaking of value problems, what is up with all these socialist candidates running for office in the democrat party?  You can’t tell me that Obama and company aren’t a little worried about this development.  In fact, I read recently that Obama would not endorse Ocasio-Cortez (an avowed socialist) even though he believes in everything she does. Why? Because she is not playing by the rules. I can just see him telling her “You can’t TELL them you believe in those things, you have to lie to get elected and then you just do what you want like I did.” Socialism is stealing from those who DID and giving it to those who WON’T. And forced equality (Communism) guarantees that everyone will be equally poor.  I don’t see what liberals find attractive about either option.

2–Poison  I mentioned earlier how liberals take the fun out of everything, but it’s more than that.  In my opinion, they ruin everything they touch.  We have evidence now to prove what happens to areas that experience long term Democratic policies.  Once great places like Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, and the whole state of California!  And we can see changes in sanctuary cities already.  I live in one and I can tell you how fast it is changing and not for the good.  Universities used to teach kids to think critically, now they regularly ban conservative speakers because it interferes with liberal professors’ ability to grow democrats.  The media used to report the news, now liberal outlets don’t even pretend to be unbiased. Liberalism has also ruined the movies coming out of Hollywood and has all but destroyed comedy (through PC).  It is sad to watch this.

1–God  Our great country was formed by moral people for moral people.  It was not designed to hold up under corrupt leadership and it is not holding up very well.  When culture declines due to immorality isn’t it our job to do something about it?  Or do we watch it crash like it has everywhere else in history.  I see church pews full of democrats and people that have no interest in politics and I don’t understand it.  Does it make a difference who a Christian votes for?  Let me help you with that.  If you are a Christian that is thinking about voting democrat consider this.  You are voting with a party that takes Christ out of Christmas, takes prayer out of schools, bans manger scenes and displays of the 10 commandments, redefines marriage and imposes a marriage tax, celebrates sexual sin, kills babies, and opposes religious liberty.  The republican party doesn’t do any of that.

Donald trump is not a perfect person or president.  When have we ever seen one of those? But not one of the 16 candidates he beat in the primary (or any democrat) could do what he has done.  To speak for hours at rallies with no notes and convey his love for America and the PEOPLE who work everyday to make it great.  To endure constant attacks and still focus on his job.  To have the knowledge and experience to explain in detail how short term pain in tariffs and trade negotiations will lead to ultimate prosperity. No one else could do that! He is working hard and doing great things for the people who love him AND for the people that hate him.  MAGA

I left the Democrat party back in the 1980’s for three reasons: 1–I thought they were more interested in deception than debate.  2–I witnessed corruption in the labor union that destroyed the Rath Packing Company costing me and my father our jobs (and his pension).  3–I found that the Republican party positions lined up better with the Bible. All three of these problems have only gotten worse since then, so with the election approaching I thought it would be a good time to share with you my 10 reasons why no one (especially Christians) should have anything to do with the 2018 democrat party.

Before I start, let me just say that I am not talking here about my hard-working, God-fearing, patriotic, slightly liberal friends and family members.  I am talking about what has become of your political party.  My hope is that you will take a closer look and come to the same conclusion I did.

10–Extreme positions  Did you know that Wednesday is “national pronoun day”? And in parts of New York, government employees can be fined for using the “wrong” pronoun to describe some one? Did you know in California they are passing laws that allow persecution of Christians and attempt to control what a pastor can and cannot preach about?  The democrat party is becoming dangerous as their leaders fail to denounce violence and actually encourage the harassment of those with opposing views.  They have a stated goal of impeaching Trump – not sure how or why. They want to roll back the tax cuts that have created a great economy. They favor socialized medicine, want to abolish ICE, and applaud Cuomo for saying that “America was never that great.”  Most Americans do not agree with any of this.

9–No Fun  Democrats are quickly sucking the fun out of life and politics. They reek havoc everywhere they go and have created a politically correct society of “false outrage.” Life has become a contest to see what liberal can be the most offended, and a race to see how fast the media can turn that offense into a reason to attack conservatives and all they stand for.  It doesn’t have to be like this, it’s exhausting.

8–The Constitution  If you have a problem with this document you have no business being in American politics.  Every civil servant takes an oath to preserve and defend it and nearly all democrats (and some republicans) now ignore that oath. It is very revealing that power obsessed liberals can’t stand our founding document since one of it’s functions is to hinder the power obsessed. A judge that warns that the people are giving judges more power than the constitution allows is a good judge (Scalia).  A president that complains that the constitution hinders his ability to get things done is a bad president (Obama).

7–Capitalism  Democrats feel the need to constantly bash the system that makes America great!  It’s like they don’t understand that it is capitalism that provides all the money they need for the crazy, unnecessary liberal programs that they want us to pay for. If a person works hard and becomes wealthy, democrats have to realize 2 things: The first is that it is none of your business! And secondly, Them getting wealthy does not mean that some one else then needs to be poor. It’s like they see the world as a big pie and if rich people take a piece others will starve.  No!  Capitalism creates more pies!

6–Abortion  We can argue amongst ourselves all day (and we do) about when life begins, but as far as I am concerned there are only two questions to be asked.  First, when do you think that God says that is a baby?  And secondly, what does it say about us that we continue to allow this?

Now, before I get to part two, I want to mention something from the news this week that exposes liberal abuse. Kanye West has been pummeled all week by all the lefty networks simply because he is asking the black community to take a serious look at Donald Trump and his policies. Why is that?  Because the Democrat party can’t afford to lose any black voters, and Kanye West is now becoming a serious threat to them.  Now he was a hero to them when he criticized George Bush but that was before.  Democrats don’t care about what is best for the black community, they only care about getting back into power!  The truth is that Kanye West has done more for minorities in the last few months than Obama did in his 8 years as president.

In part 1 we established that the country is being divide by the democrat party. I want to start part 2 with recent quotes from two of the party leaders:

Hillary Clinton: “You can’t be civil with a party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the house or senate that’s when civility can start again”.

Eric Holder: “Michele (Obama) always says when they go low we go high. No. No. When they go low, we kick them!  That is what this new Democratic party is all about.”

These disgraceful comments are irresponsible and dangerous.  In a politically charged environment that is already experiencing too much violence, these leaders are the ones that should be condemning it, and are instead advocating for more violence.  Does Hillary think that conservatives were happy for eight years watching Obama destroy what we care about?  Did we call for violence?  No, we were civil because that what Americans are.  I don’t know what members of the ‘new’ democratic party are.

Now, lets get to the three techniques the democrats use to stoke chaos and division in America:

#1–Political Correctness (PC)  A quick definition would be the effort to avoid language/policies that appear to offend certain groups in society. The problem is who decides what groups need protection?  And what language/policies are bad? The answer is that liberals in positions of power (Political leaders, college professors, and the media) make the decisions, and they do it because it allows them to reset the rules of life in order to promote their political agenda.

The republican position is that PC is excessive and unnecessary.  We already have laws to protect these groups, along with social norms and common sense to guide us.

#2–The Politics of Personal Destruction  Negative advertising is a fact of life in politics because (unfortunately) it works.  But there is a difference between exposing bad positions on the issues and personal attacks.  Ariel Dumas spoke for millions in the liberal ‘resist’ community this week when she said “Whatever happens, at least I’m glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s life.”

The republican position is that we can attract better people to run for office if we limit the attacks to issues. Further, a fair and impartial media would vet candidates from both parties.  As it is now they are only critical of the GOP candidates giving democrats a huge advantage. The truth is that dirty politics turns most people off and hurts our republic.  It is also true that liberals can’t win on the issues so they resort to personal attacks.

#3– Identity Politics  Another quick definition:  The taking of political positions based on race, religion, social background etc..  My definition is Liberals pitting one group against another to create a victim mentality.  This is where the libs do the most damage.  They pit rich against poor, black against white, gay against straight….. because that is how you produce victims and stir up the base voters. They make one political speech for this group and another speech for that group, and the chaos never ends.

The republican position is that you don’t need separate laws to benefit separate groups. If you pass good conservative legislation it will benefit all people.  Hence the saying “A high tide raises all boats.” That’s why when Trump (or any good politician) speaks to different groups he makes the same speech to every group.

It would be nice if politics was seen as a way to temporarily serve the people. To do what is best for all people and our country. But the truth is that politics is about power, and power corrupts most people, and when corrupt people lose their power they will do anything to get it back.

Democrats are much better than Republicans at the power game.  They are not hindered at all by the constraints of morality.  They seem to have no problem at all with hypocrisy.  And they are polished in the fine art of deception.  They have been at this for many years. The Democratic party needs four things to accomplish the goals we mentioned earlier.  They need a Villain.  That’s why CNN bashes Trump (and all conservatives) 24 hours a day.  They need the Victim Mentality that they produce with their identity politics. They need a fresh supply of Ignorant People that depend on Government and will vote for them.  This is supplied nicely by open borders, a bad economy, and voter policies that help people cheat.  And finally they need chaos and division to stir up the voters and that is supplied the liberal media fake news, liberal professors dominating higher education, and all of the above.

With the Kavanaugh supreme court hearings I believe we have reached a new low point in American politics. It was painful to watch no matter what side of the aisle you sit on. Politics is not supposed to be a soap opera.  Perhaps it’s time to consider taking the TV cameras out.  Without the cameras, Dr. Ford could have remained anonymous like she wanted to, and Diane Feinstein would have no reason to hold her case until the last minute for political purposes. Without the cameras Cory Booker would have to run for president on his own time. Without the cameras Senators would not spend 19 of their 20 minutes show-boating and then waste 1 minute on a self serving irrelevant question.  The whole process could be done in a day instead of 2 weeks.

As it was, the soap opera created chaos everywhere.  Even those who try to ignore politics could not escape it. It was all over TV, social media, in the work place and at home. I believe this is a source of great frustration for the majority of Americans.  We want and expect our leaders to conduct their business in a civil manner. Frankly, we may have just witnessed the death of civility in DC. That leads me to a question: If civility is dead who killed it?  Does it matter?  Our citizens have never been more divided than they are right now, so if I went out to the street and asked 10 people who they thought was dividing the country what would they say?  I don’t think the average voter knows why we are being divided or who is causing it. My guess is 7 of the 10 would say Donald Trump.  If you are one of the seven then let me ask you to consider another possibility, because I know the answer and it is not President Trump.

Before we get to the great divider, lets go over some things that we all used to agree on. I can think of five:

1– American Sovereignty (strong borders, defense, fair trade)

2–God (Biblical values, religious liberty)

3–The Constitution

4–Definition of Marriage

5– Patriotism (Doing what is best for America).

It wasn’t very long ago that virtually everyone agreed on these 5 things, and there was unity in that, and a sense of common purpose that brought all of us together. Sadly, today that is not the case.

The Republican party still supports and defends all of these 5 things, but unfortunately the democrat party no longer supports and defends any of them.  So there is your answer.  The great divider is the democrat party. Now some of my democrat friends will say that they do believe in these things.  Maybe you do, but your political party doesn’t! Let me explain how. Democrats believe in open borders, cutting defense, they took God completely out of their party platform, and marriage is whatever anyone wants it to be. Obama complained for 8 years about the constraining effects of the Constitution, and went around it every chance he could. What ever you think of Trump, you can’t deny that he always does what is best for America. Clinton and Obama can’t say that.  The reason Trump scrapped the Iran deal, Paris deal, and NAFTA is that none of them were in our best interest.

The reason that passion runs so high for conservatives like myself is that America as founded cannot survive leadership that turns it’s back on these things.  And let me mention one more.  What ever happened to the ‘peaceful transfer of power’? What message are we sending to the world when one party can’t except the results of a duly elected president 2 years later?!?

Finally, I want to talk about how and why the democrats make such an effort to divide.  And yes it is on purpose. They have been doing it for years now in spite of the fact that it is not in the best interest of their own voters and is a serious threat to our Republic. Why they do it is because it is the only way to accomplish their goals.  The current goals being to regain power, establish a growing number of low information democrat voters that are dependent on Government, to destroy the bond between Trump and his supporters, and ultimately to impeach Trump.

How they do it is a little more complicated.  They accomplish this through 3 recent developments in American politics; all created and perfected by liberals and the media to cause chaos and division. That’s where we go in part 2.
