From My Heart
In just a little over a week, America goes to the polls for the midterm elections. On Nov. 3, it is imperative that everyone makes every effort to vote. There is so much at stake in this election! The control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is at stake! The numbers show there are many more conservative-thinking people in our nation than liberal thinking people. We simply cannot sit this election out and think things will work themselves out. The numbers must be overwhelmingly in favor of conservatives!
The issues are innumerable! I recently had a lifelong Democrat tell me he has always voted Democrat, that his parents were Democrats, and that he has followed in their footsteps. I asked him if he wanted socialism to replace our capitalist system, to which he said, “Oh no! I don’t want that.” I then asked if he wanted to pack the Supreme Court and have as many as 19 justices if the Democrats get their wish. He said, “No!” I asked him if he wanted our borders to be wide open again, like they were when Biden let millions and millions of people into America! And again, he said, “No!” I smiled and said, “Hmmm, sounds to me like you have some serious decisions to make about your vote!”
For some reason or another, the leadership in the Democrat Party has concluded that identifying with communism, radical jihadi Islamic ideology, radical transgender ideology, and single-payer health insurance is the direction they want America to follow. Should we follow the agenda these folks want for America, we will witness the collapse of America as we know it.
So, it is imperative that the common-sense, freedom-loving, God-fearing, Constitution-supporting, red, white, and blue Americans get to the polls and stop this movement from the radicals to “fundamentally transform” the government of the United States. We need to send a message all over the country to these radicals that we love freedom, our Constitution, our God, and our Bibles. We need to send a message that resounds across the entire nation that we do not want Islam, Sharia Law, or seeing millions of taxpayer dollars being stolen into the pockets of Hamas, Hezbollah, the mullahs of Iran, and the Somali elders. We need to stand up to the radicalism and take back our country before it is too late!
Our nation is at a major crossroads, and it is time to take action! We must put an end to this hostile takeover of our country. You have seen the riots, the looting, the hostility, and the killings in France, and that is what is coming to an American city near you if we don’t stand up to this radicalism in the ballot box and refuse to allow them to gain any type of power to change America into a radical, socialist, communist, and atheistic nation.
Have a great day, and keep your eyes looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
