Progressives are very frightened this election cycle – and with good reason.
Historically, liberal Democrat campaigns (not “democratic, please) have been built around slogans such as “Change we can believe in,”or “Fundamental transformation” or “Forward” as Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign espoused.
Progressives would have you believe these campaign slogans dealt with issues such as healthcare reform, voting rights, economic equality, and social justice, among other issues. But in reality, these slogans reflect the liberal progressive march to eliminating any semblance of morality or standards heretofore associated with Christianity and our forefather’s vision for our nation.
The goal is and has always been to tenaciously desensitize Americans to the gradual increase in temperature around us, so we don’t leap like the proverbial frog from the boiling pot of water.
This progressive advance includes a move past capitalism and into a socialist society where the government has complete and absolute control over our lives.
But during this week’s Democrat National Convention, the slogan, “We won’t go back” was used by speakers several times, in lieu of their traditional view forward.
Believe me when I tell you they are not referencing socio-economic advancement for the American people! They are, in fact, referencing their fear of losing their ill-gotten power and influence to conservative principled leaders and having the government returned to “We the people”.
Anyone doing their due diligence of fact-checking speeches from the DNC convention, including from the faux Democrat presidential nominee, will very quickly learn it was inundated with lies and deceitful statements to potential voters. The lack of substance regarding accomplishments from the past 3 ½ years was very telling.
Of course, it would be the epitome of hypocrisy for this administration to promise resolution of issues on day one, which they created!
Folks, there is a reason, Kamala Harris is being sequestered in the basement of the White House. Liberal progressives are not stupid. But they believe YOU ARE. They realize that if conservatives are successful at exposing her and her VP choice for whom they really are, they lose.
The strategy worked for Joe Biden, and they are betting it will work for Harris.
Understand, this strategy is supplemental to the liberal, multi-level “ballot harvesting” which helped secure the last election and our demise as a nation.
But amid all the smoke and mirrors, if one looks closely, you will see a dark state trembling at the thought of losing, once again, to Donald J. Trump. Frankly, these snowflakes still have PTSD over their loss to President Trump in 2016. It was at that point the planning began to do anything possible to remove him from office and keep him from ever returning – no matter what it took, legal or otherwise.
But fear is a tremendous motivator for the left. They will stop at nothing to win this election. Conservatives must take advantage of this moment to be even more motivated by their fear.
If Harris wins this election, it is no holds barred. The Supreme Court will be fundamentally transformed. Our Republic will be unrecognizable. The future of our children will be dark. And the American dream will be unreachable.
Yes, it is that serious. Please, please do your homework and vote your faith.
Trust me when I say this will be our last chance. If we lose, conservatives may never win another election.
The choice isn’t just between two candidates. It’s far more.
We are truly at a crossroad in history. The 2024 Presidential Election is not simply a choice between two candidates. It’s a choice between free market Capitalism or government sanctioned Socialism. There was a time in history when political candidates attempted to hide their socialist tendencies, but now they’ve created an environment in which they can run campaigns on them.
I began exposing the progressive movement 25 years ago with a column on a theory which weaponizes the economy known as, “The Cloward-Piven Strategy”. It has now come to fruition.
The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political theory developed by sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven in the late 1960s. Its deployment calls for creating chaos in the welfare system to overwhelm it, enabling the government to act toward fundamentally transforming society. The strategy involves capturing as many people as possible in the “government safety net” of provision for their needs.
You may ask what this strategy provides those who employed it. This ideology, along with every single other progressive ideology imposed upon the citizens of the United States is simply designed to keep liberal politicians in power. It’s that simple. It’s all about buying a vote.
Illegal immigration, Abortion rights, high prices and economic catastrophe, and the feigned support of every single so-called protected class in America (aside from Christians) are all designed to create a viable, sustainable voter base – period.
Yes, liberals will love and hug on you all day until you step out of the progressive line and challenge their dangerous agenda. At that point, they will stop at nothing to discredit and destroy you. Ask Elon Musk.
Understand, liberals do not care for you, nor do they love America. Look around you.
Mothers are walking the aisles of the grocery stores trying to figure out how they are going to afford to feed their family. Parents are having to make the decision between eating or paying their bills. The price of bacon, for example, has increased by five times the cost 3 ½ years ago, per a CNN online column.
Yes, liberal politicians leveraged a pandemic to force businesses into raising wages. It was the only way they could make it happen. Believe me when I tell you they knew what would happen.
Service employees may be making more now than ever, but the result is prices have risen at a far higher rate! The cost of fuel and transport fees have forced manufacturers to raise their prices, so in turn, the price of goods and services have increased. Service employees may be making more money, but it’s paying for less than ever!
And liberal politicians like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris could not care less. They are above the economic impact “hard deck”. Aviators know this term. Below the hard deck, you are considered dead.
To further exacerbate the situation, the liberal left has been successful in harvesting amazing numbers of ballots from their contrived voter base. They’ve also been successful at developing software that “hacks” into voting machines. One way is to simply add fake voters. This is how many suspect Joe Biden earned over 80 million votes in 2020. This was by far, more votes cast for any presidential candidate in U.S. history.
And he earned them all from his basement. Go figure.
Another way it is suspected liberals molded the 2020 election outcome was to hack into the voting machines and delegitimize opposition voters.
These techniques, along with other methods of illegal ballot harvesting, handed the 2020 Presidential election over to the current administration.
I don’t care to admit, that I’m very concerned over the election in November. In my gut, I know how most Americans feel about how things are going. It’s obvious that things have never been more upside down. Bad is good and good is bad. Kamala calls it, “What can be, unburdened by what has been.”
I propose two tactics to prevent this injustice from ever happening again. It can be done.
First, per a 2023 Gallup poll, 63% of the U.S. population, or 210 million people identify as Christian. If one-third of them vote – we win.
Second, pray. The Bible says, “…If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”
If two can accomplish this by fervent prayer, what can a million do!
Take a moment and pray this prayer. Then pass this on to someone else.
“Father, we humble ourselves before you and seek your Divine wisdom and favor. We ask for your omnipotent intervention in the state of our union and our electoral system. We ask that you protect our electoral process and keep it fair and just. We pray a hedge of protection around every device and human intent for a fair and equitable outcome for all our elections and that Your Will be done. We pray that no weapon formed against our Republic would prosper. Give us wisdom to make the right choice and diligence to do so when called upon. We give you all the Glory and Honor for protecting and prospering the people of our great nation. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!
I’m more than confident, if we do these two things, as believers, we can win back our nation.

The word “Republic” is a special word and quite different from a “Democracy.”
A Republic is a form of government in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in and exercised by the people, either directly or through representatives chosen by the people. Democracy is simply “majority rule.”
Our founding fathers had a vision for a republic, one in which every individual controlled their own destiny without interference from government or any oppressive entity.
The first time I ever heard the word and gained a real grasp of its meaning was from the 1960 epic war film “The Alamo,” starring screen giants like John Wayne as Davy Crockett, Richard Boone as Sam Houston and Richard Widmark as Jim Bowie.
The film depicts the “Battle of the Alamo” and the events leading up to it. Facing the insurmountable odds of defeating the Mexican forces, led by General Santa Anna, Sam Houston challenges Col. William B. Travis, played by Laurence Harvey, to buy him time by holding a position at the Alamo mission while he prepared an army capable of fighting for Texas’ independence.
In an early scene, Travis attempts a conversation with Crockett to convince him of the nobility of the fight and to persuade his Tennesseans to join the battle in pursuit of a Republic.
In the movie, Crockett quickly sets aside his “country-bumpkin” demeanor and speaks eloquently about the term “republic.”
“Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat – the same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound as a man,” Crockett said. “Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.”
While Travis, Crockett and Bowie were badly defeated at the Alamo in 1836, Houston’s army won against the Mexican forces and gained independence for Texas. The phrase “Remember the Alamo” aptly immortalizes this brave sacrifice as well as our nation’s fervor for freedom.
Following the founding of our U.S. Constitution at convention in 1787, it’s recorded that a bystander inquired of Ben Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a Republic or a Monarchy?” Franklin replied, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
Since then, there have been a total of 27 constitutional amendments designed to further the premise of having three distinct branches of government, along with a system of checks and balances, to ensure no single branch would have too much power and that voters have the final word.
On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016, Americans once again had the final word. Americans once again arose above the fray and persevered against tyranny and oppression.
Americans, once again, changed the course of history by making their voices heard.
I submit, Donald Trump’s decisive victory is best described by a posthumous response to Dr. Franklin’s challenge he posed following that immortal day in Philadelphia over 200 years ago.
“We shall, Mr. Franklin. We shall protect our Republic.”
May God bless America as we begin this new journey. And may God bless Donald Trump as he takes the helm during tumultuous seas in the U.S.
