As an opinion writer, my articles normally lean right. I consider myself a constitutional conservative with libertarian leanings. I try to share my ideology relating to news stories and current events by explaining my viewpoint, doing my best to elaborate on the reasoning behind my beliefs. This method also helps me see and analyze contrasting opinions. Sometimes, it helps me anticipate political plans or objectives.
I began my foray into writing with the beginning of the 2016 campaign season and the threat of Hillary Clinton as a possible US President. I felt the need to try to do something to help the candidate that held views most like my own. I was truthfully torn between Ted Cruz’s Constitutional adherence, and Donald Trump’s combination of business experience and the audacity to speak his mind.
Trump won me over by standing up to the against the media and their attacks fueled by thinly veiled Democratic campaigning. It was something no other Republican politician or candidate since Reagan has had the “cojones” to do. Supporting a man like that as my party’s nominee with my writing was the inspiration that I needed.
I try to view different channels and news shows on TV & radio to get a broader perspective. I like to filter different opinions in my thoughts using experience, common sense and logic to see the “big picture” and get the words on paper.
Using this method, I feel that I have gained an advanced idea of what the Democratic National Committee will be promoting on their national platform. A political party’s platform is an announcement of their beliefs and goals in order to gain public support. Knowing an opponent’s agenda and tactical plan gives a major advantage. You can decide your potential options for counterattack.
The goal of this article is to share my evaluation of the likely Democratic approach for the most important issues to our country. Hopefully, this forward-looking analysis will help enlighten many people as to what the liberals have planned for the next election cycle.
Here is my prediction for the Democratic Platform and talking points for the 2020 Presidential campaign:
ECONOMY: Give people more “free stuff” (forgive student debt, increase spending) to encourage them to vote for us. Also, the election of 2016 was illegitimate since Trump colluded with the Russians. He is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hateful bigot.
IMMIGRATION: Let anyone in, using minimal or no background checks. Deny all existing evidence of illegal voting by non-citizens, knowing that it’s not for the Republicans. Also, the election of 2016 was illegitimate since Trump colluded with the Russians. He is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hateful bigot.
ENVIRONMENT: Use “climate change” to increase governmental regulation to stymie any economic boom, forcing more people to accept the “free stuff” mentioned previously (more votes!). Also, the election of 2016 was illegitimate since Trump colluded with the Russians. He is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hateful bigot.
NATIONAL DEFENSE: Continue to use the military as a “social experiment” to promote our leftist agenda. Cut the Defense budget to free up money to yet again, give out more “free stuff”. Also, the election of 2016 was illegitimate since Trump colluded with the Russians. He is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hateful bigot.
HEALTHCARE: The government should be in control it, so that we can have total control and ensure you vote correctly (DEM) if you want your prescription or operation. Also, the election of 2016 was illegitimate since Trump colluded with the Russians. He is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hateful bigot.
EDUCATION: Expand our liberal indoctrination program at every level and grade to ensure gaining future votes. Also, the election of 2016 was illegitimate since Trump colluded with the Russians. He is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hateful bigot.
ABORTION: “Late-term. Post-term. Anything goes. All are welcome “. Also, the election of 2016 was illegitimate since Trump colluded with the Russians. He is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hateful bigot.
Make no mistake, even with currently 20+ Democrat presidential candidates, they stand united on the above issues of their platform. The liberal candidates may change their approach on presentation or misrepresent themselves depending on the crowd, but these are their core beliefs.
They have no innovation. They have no new ideas. The core purpose of their party has always been to merely get more votes to enable them to “fundamentally transform” (Obama’s term, not mine) our Republic. They merely give lip service to the values, ideals and freedoms that have made us an economic and military superpower in less than 250 years of existence.
Our Constitutional system keeps them from forcing their agenda upon us. It is a roadblock. They think they know what’s best for us. They’ll surreptitiously deny and remove any and all rights that get in their way.
They deplore the Second Amendment and try to erode public support for it by shifting the blame for horrific crimes to the gun, instead of the evil person using it.
They have gone after the First Amendment by creating terms like “hate speech” and by using “political correctness” to silence or stifle true freedom of speech.
In literature, a “Faustian bargain” is a deal made with a higher power that the bargainer recognizes as evil or amoral. Faustian bargains are, by their nature, tragic or self-defeating for the person who makes them, because what is surrendered is ultimately far more valuable than what is obtained, whether or not the bargainer appreciates that fact.
Know this truth. Democrats only want your vote for extending their own power. Giving it to them is truly a “Faustian Bargain”.
