Dear Republican Politician, those remaining few,
I have been a registered Republican, in which ever state I have lived since I became eligible in 1970, when I achieved the ripe old age of 18. Mostly, of course, I have had to hold my nose while voting because so many candidates were, shall we say, not entirely acceptable. But as the Apostle Paul said, all have fallen short of the glory of God, myself included.
I have remained a Republican, not because of any virtue of the current Republicans, but because of their history, being formed to abolish slavery which they accomplished, and a belief in conservatism. Conservatism means retaining and conserving the Constitution and the institutions that have kept us free and allowed us to become prosperous. Nothing in our Constitution, or in Christian faith allows one person to enslave another. Indeed, all men should be free to pursue their own interests and reap the rewards thereof.
Unfortunately, the Republicans seem to have thought that their job was to make deals, not to hold a line that should never be crossed. As Jesse Helms, a famous North Carolina Senator said on the Senate floor:
“Compromise, hell! That’s what has happened to us all down the line – and that’s the very cause of our woes. If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?”
So, we have such Unconstitutional atrocities as Social Security and Medicare. Add to those, Obamacare, which has made medical treatment unaffordable. These things were never part of the 17 powers granted in the Constitution to Congress. Rather, these and other things should be decided at the state level. Oh, and it is not your job to better manage the horrible ideas voted for by the people on the other side of the aisle.
This past election should be a wakeup call to all of you. There is a tendency I fear to look at the other side of the aisle as good people who want the same things you do. They want power. I fear you do too. But if you are a patriot, who wants what is best for the people, who takes his or her oath to defend our Constitution seriously, who wants the people to enjoy life, liberty, and property, then you must see the people across the aisle as the literal enemy.
The agenda of the Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) is by now well known. Given power, they will abolish the Constitution and eliminate such institutions as the Presidency and Senate, eliminate the Electoral College, and pack the Supreme Court. Oh, and of course tax the wealth of the rich.
Even more frightening are the Muslim members of Congress who actively desire to abolish not only our Constitution, but our laws and replace them with Sharia. If you are a patriot, and a Christian, the takeover by the Islamist should be worrisome to you. Of course, there is first and foremost their treatment of women, forcing them to wear headscarfs and dress in potato sacks. In some Islamic countries, women may not go outside without a male escort. Then there are their many "haram" things such as pork, music, dogs and cats, not to mention alcohol. The LORD instituted the Communion with bread and wine for His body and blood. We cannot have Communion without the wine.
I cannot emphasize enough that you must see and understand that the people on the other side of the aisle are your enemy. You don't have to hate them; indeed, you should pray for them. Of course, you must treat them with civility and respect, but that does not mean you must treat their vile ideas and plans with respect. You should not. Senator Jesse Helms was called "Senator 'No'" and you must strike a similar line in the sand. Be courageous, because we are behind you.
