From My Heart
The Democrat Party has a serious problem, and unless something drastic happens in the next couple of months, the mid-term elections are going to be a disastrous embarrassment for their candidates. There is a new effort among Democrats to align themselves and wrap their arms around the “AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Ilhan Omar wing” of their party. These folks are calling themselves the Democratic Socialists of America.
The platform upon which they are running includes a complete dismantling of the Constitution of the United States. They are not socialists; they are communists, and the things they are hoping to do to our government will destroy the country we have known for the last 250 years.
The platform upon which they are running is as frightening as it can be! If they were to get what they want, these are some things they would implement in our country. They want single-payer healthcare, or as they call it, “Medicare for all.” They want to pack the Supreme Court, which means they want to add several Justices to the Court! They want to abolish prisons and reopen our borders. They want to give blanket amnesty to all who have come to America through the years.
They also want to eliminate the Senate! They want to cancel all 100 U.S. Senators. They also hope to eliminate the office of the President and Vice President. You might wonder who would govern the country! Clearly, they would govern all of us! Whenever this type of Communism has overtaken a nation, inevitably, a strong-arm dictator rises to the top. Remember reading about Mao, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara in Cuba, Lenin in Russia, Idi Amin in Uganda, and the list goes on and on. Millions of innocent souls died at the hands of these Communist takeovers!
The very few moderates left in the Democrat Party are shocked and dismayed that the leadership of their party is embracing these radical folks running for office. These candidates hate Israel! They despise capitalism and free enterprise! These people are growing more and more confident, and the scary thing is they believe with their whole hearts that America wants this Communism they are proposing. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is hinting to the media that she “might” run for President in 2028. The few moderates in the Democrat Party are appalled by the fact that their leadership is embracing this takeover! Senator Schumer and Congressman Jeffries are both endorsing these Communist candidates and will not denounce them in any manner!
We know several things the Democrats are for - like wide-open borders, abortion, higher taxes, more government giveaway programs, no prisons, single-payer healthcare, and the list goes on and on! So, now we can add another thing they seem to be for: Communism!
