Mark Caserta: Two strategies we can employ to insure victory in the 2024 presidential election.

14 Aug

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.

Mark Caserta: Your vote has never been more important.

25 Jul

Our nation is at a troublesome crossroads. You must choose the path for the future.


There has never been a time in our nation’s history when there has been any clearer distinction between good and evil.  The domestic unrest in our cities transcends politics. Although the political pulpit, along with the incessant news cycle arguably help fuel the violence and spark emotion, the root cause is much more sinister and heinous with the sole intent of stealing, killing, and destroying all that is good and perfect among us.

News media has abandoned the true journalistic mission of “informing” people of factual content in lieu of “influencing” them as to how they should feel about content, factual or otherwise.  The liberal media of our times will never allow truth to stand in the way of a good story or an opportunity to strike an emotional hotspot to garner support for their cause. 

Understand, “progress” and “progressivism” are not one in the same!  Progress in society, in terms of medical advances, scientific learnings and new and innovative ways of living life is wonderful and should be embraced by all.  But a progressive ideology is something entirely different. 

Progressivism is a liberal methodology.  It is a gradual diminishing of heretofore agreed upon standards of ethics and principles by which to live, allowing a new matrix of morality void of any moral compass. 

Understand, we didn’t see audacious behavior rise around us overnight.  It was accomplished by a tenacious, consistent “desensitizing” of society, frankly, beginning in the classroom.  While we have some wonderful, caring teachers in many classrooms, we also have some incredibly evil leadership willing to compromise and mold a child’s mind to accept concepts and ideas that would never have been acceptable otherwise.

In what world would be ever have considered allowing a man to compete in a women’s sport by simply having surgery to remove his genitalia.  The physiology and genealogy remain that of a man but is allowed to compete against a woman simply because they no longer identify as a man.

It if fully the right of any individual to live their life as they choose.  That is God given and a constitutionally supported right.  But that right to choose must not adversely impact the rights of others. 

Here’s the point.  We didn’t get here overnight.  Years ago, liberals began removing any semblance of steadfast rules by which to live our lives.  Regardless of you accepting it or not, God’s Word has been the foundation for the growth and development of all mankind.  Simply disagreeing with this precept is your choice, but a very wrong one.

So, the very first objective of the progressive movement had to be to remove the Bible from the classroom!  They did this by inaccurately leveraging the 1st amendment to the Constitution or the establishment clause, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”  Historically, the most mis-interpreted portion of our constitution and has been the foundation of the decision to keep all things having to do with Christianity, to include the Bible, out of our classrooms.

Removing the parameters of God’s Word from the classroom allowed the infusion of materials under the guise of being “open-minded” to progress in society and varying individual’s convictions.  In fact, moral convictions began to take on an entirely different appearance and tenacity in varying aspects of the world in which we live.

Again, we all have the right to choose how we live.  No disagreement there.  That is a God-given right.  We do not have the right to infringe upon the rights of others.  Unfortunately, the liberal stance is that if someone doesn’t fully support their cause or passion it means they are not inclusive and must have hate in their heart toward them. 

That’s simply an intellectually dishonest view.  We can love people and accept them without supporting the advancement or promotion of their cause or allowing them to suppress my right to the very same acceptance. 

But liberal progressives have made this an emotional battle.  They’ve weaponized media, politics and even religion and created an environment so volatile that our greatest threat is no longer foreign – it is the enemy within. 

Now, you may be sitting on the sidelines, resolute to the fact that you can’t change it.  And you may not have the bully pulpit to enact change to a high degree.  But you can certainly impact your circle.  You influence those around you every single day.

 How are you choosing to use that influence?  Are you choosing to model apathy to the evil around you or are you displaying empathy and ministering to others and influencing positive change?

The choice has never been clearer.  The left has embraced the antithesis of all things which have made the United States a sovereign, prosperous nation, respected and revered by the world. The believe the government knows best and will do anything to always wield the power to control your life.  They believe they have the right to take the money that you worked hard to earn and share it with those who have not earned it at all.  They believe they should have the power to “make” all men equal.  They will distribute success.  And in return for their handouts, all they ask is for your vote to keep them in power.

Conservatives promulgate a love of country and all our Founding Fathers envisioned for America. They believe we live in a Republic; a government ran by the people through elected officials who represent their best interests.  They believe the people know best and should have the power and ability to work hard and build a prosperous life.  They believe equality stems from everyone having the same opportunities in our country to earn the American dream rather than having it handed to them in return for a vote.  They believe God “created” all men equal.  They must earn success.  All they ask is that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The mission is clear.  The choice is yours.  Do you stand for freedom and Democracy?  Or do you stand with the government controlling your life and the lives of your children and grandchildren?

 Make your mark in history by voting in November.

Mark Caserta: We still live in a Republic – for now.

20 Jan

Mark Caserta has been writing opinion columns for nearly 25 years and is editor for Free State Patriot

Got your attention? Good.

We nearly had to take out a loan to purchase this chuck roast I’m preparing to put on the oven. I know prices tend to rise, but this is out of control.

We live in a Republic, which means we are supposed to have representatives who represent the will of the people. Many people don’t know what that looks like. Many politicians don’t care – as long as they remain in power.

There are still good people out there who want to do the right thing as our representatives. Find out who they are and vote for them. If you don’t vote, don’t complain about what you permit.

Families are hurting. People are wandering grocery store aisles looking at items on the shelves they can no longer afford. It’s truly heartbreaking if you understand what’s happening in government.

There are those who will swear government isn’t the problem. Well, to a point they’re right. The people who sit on the sidelines and allow progressive liberals to control their lives are the problem!

The government should not control the people. People should control the government. It’s time, no, it’s past time that we re-engage and take back our lives and the futures of our children and grandchildren.

Corrupt politicians believe we are defeated. They believe they’ve beaten us down and taken away our spirit to fight. They want everyone subservient to their governing hypocrisy. They are relentless in their ideology to dominate, not serve their constituents.

Are we beaten? Is this the way we want it? Is this the environment we want for our children?

It starts with a single, persistent voice in the wilderness. It begins with you and me. Being angry isn’t enough.
Put some action behind that anger.

Fire leaders who will not lead. Vote in November.

Mark Caserta: How did Democrats really win the 2020 presidential election?

11 Feb

Mark Caserta has been an Opinion columnist for over 22 years and is Editor for Free State Patriot.

Heading into the 2024 presidential election, this is a republication of a 2023 column.

———-

“Two years ago, the economy was reeling. I stand here tonight, after we’ve created, with the help of many people in this room, 12 million new jobs — more jobs created in two years than any President has created in four years — because of you all, because of the American people” –  President Joe Biden

Stunned.  That’s the only word I have to describe my feelings about Joe Biden’s State of the Union address to the nation.

There are two possibilities:  Either Biden can’t recall what was actually happening two years ago, or his integrity as president means nothing to him or his staff – potentially both.  The only thing “reeling” is Joe Biden’s memory.

Two years ago, gasoline was below $2.00.  The employment rate was at its lowest rate since the 1970’s.  Our country was energy independent.  We had regained respect from nations around the world.  The Obamacare individual mandate had been negated.  Americans were regaining their pride as a nation.  Our country was literally recovering from 8 years of a failed liberal experiment under Barack Obama, the “Liar-in-Chief”, who promised everyone they could keep their healthcare and doctor if they wanted.  Politifact declared that to be the Politifact “Lie of the year” – FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

But liberal Democrats were miserable.  President Donald Trump’s tweeting and demeanor was simply not worth the price of a healthy nation.  And it certainly wasn’t worth losing all of their power and government control!

On day one of Trump’s presidency, Democrats began putting together a plan to win back the White House – at any cost.

This plan was multi-faceted and supported by every liberal media outlet in the country.  It involved a conspiracy to exercise the most massive pre-planned voter fraud ever inflicted upon the American people!

Just look at the number of votes Joe Biden and Kamala Harris supposedly garnered in 2020!  Really?  According to the Census Bureau, there are approximately 168 million registered voters in the United States.  Are we to believe that 81 million of those voters voted for Joe Biden during the 2020 election when our nation was at its peak of prosperity in years$

Presidential ticketYearPopular Vote
Obama / Biden201265,915,795
Romney / Ryan201260,933,504
Trump / Pence201662,984,828
Trump / Pence202074,223,975
Biden / Harris202081,283,501

After months of research and contemplating the facts, these are the steps I believe liberal Democrats employed to win the 2020 presidential election.

  • They moved to remove any proof of U.S. citizenship or identity to vote in the U.S. and encouraged illegal immigration to bolster a predictable voter base.
  • They inundated the nation with voter “drop boxes” in heavily liberal populated cities.
  • Democrats employed “dark voters” to encourage and execute multiple illegal votes on every liberal front possible.
  • Dems bombarded liberal mailboxes with write-in ballots which could be submitted as often as possible.
  • They leveraged computer hacking technology designed to interrupt, skew and even change votes.
  • Democrats grew a network of conspirators at the state and federal level strategically planted to be “boots on the ground” to identify Trump voting tendencies and reverse them at every opportunity.
  • They partnered with a complicit media willing to report information not to inform, but to influence results.
  • Liberal Dems utilized a “war room” approach to delegitimize anything and everything in Donald Trump’s favor and divert attention away from massive voter fraud.
  • Finally, liberal Democrats had a plan to insert votes, electronically or physically, as often as needed and where logistically possible right under our noses.

Folks, unless Republicans figure out a way to either diminish the Democrat fraudulent voter conspiracy or devise their own plan to legally match their efforts, the GOP will never win another election.

It doesn’t matter who runs or what they promise. Liberal Democrats simply do not care about you or our nation. They will do or say anything to keep control. And the longer they are in control, the weaker our nation will become.

And the more emboldened other nations will be to attack us on the most obvious fronts.

Perhaps they may even fly a huge information gathering balloon over our country, if they believe we are truly without leadership.

Don’t complain about what you permit.  Fix this GOP!
