Why local Democrats must speak up

Deception, distortion, and detraction are the methods ultra-liberal media sources use to bring dangerous anti-Christian thoughts into our nation, our government, our homes, and the minds of our children. They target those who are uninformed and their goal is to misinform those most vulnerable.

Do local Democrats really believe, support, and practice the policies espoused by the current ultra-liberal wing of the national Democrat Party?

I believe there is a dangerous distortion between what the national leadership of the Democrat Party represents and what the local Democrats I know believe and practice.  I also believe the liberal news media uses the high-profile elected Democrats to make the abnormal look normal. They are very good at making that which is so wrong look so right.

I’m going to express some opinions about the national leadership and policies of the Democrat Party and contrast that with what I perceive to be the views of the leadership and policies of local Democrat leaders.

First, I know several local Democrats whom I would readily support going to the national level and replacing some of the crazy, so-called Democrats in other states and at the federal level. In other words, in my opinion, the people who make up the local leadership of the Democrat Party are good people who do not really believe or support the ultra-radical left wing that controls the national Democrat Party.

The main question that I have for my Democrat friends is this: What are you doing locally to show that you are different from New York Mayor Mamdani, Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz, Texas Congresswoman Crockett, Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, or California Gov. Gavin Newsom?

I do not believe local Democrats really believe or support many of the far-left radical ideas proposed by these and other high-profile Democrats. I understand that party unity and loyalty is important if we want to achieve the value of strength in numbers. But that principle can be taken too far. I believe the national radical leftist movement is asking the good local Democrats to be loyal to a variety of beliefs not consistent with many local tenants of traditional Democrat leaders.

From experience I know that the vast majority of folks of both major political parties in our area regularly attend church and have faith in the Judeo-Christian belief system of organized religion.  I also believe that the secular progressive tenets of the national leadership of the Democrat Party are inconsistent with those Christian values.

I will cite just two related modern social movements and one public safety issue to make my point.  First, gender identity and same-sex marriage. Second, public safety and the left’s attack on ICE.

Nothing could be more essential to the proliferation of mankind than God’s creation of two genders: male and female. Only through the combination of those two genders can future generations be produced. Radical national Democrat leaders want local Democrats to accept or turn a blind eye to their distorted Godless ideas about gender, trans-gender issues, and same sex marriage.

Nothing could be more essential to us all than public safety. If we are not safe, what else matters? Most of us have probably said, “Nothing surprises me anymore.” Then we get surprised again. The Radical Democrat led attacks on law enforcement, especially the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is difficult to comprehend and disturbing to watch.  All the Democrat leaders named above appear very self-righteous as they spout out hateful attacks on those trying to protect us from murderers, rapists, and scum of all kinds.

We, the people, all the local people of both parties should reject anything not consistent with our traditional Christian values.
