I believe it is obvious, but before anyone breaks out the boiling oil, tar, and feathers and secures a rail sufficiently strong to hoist me upon, let me state that Liberal was not me!   I do not recall ever being a liberal politically.  I desire to be quite liberal in my charitable giving.   I believe strongly in being generous (liberal) in our willingness to give to good causes and the Kingdom of God. 

I hope everyone has read far enough to realize that the former Liberal I speak of was not me.  If you are still with me, I would like to address some of the current political climate in America.  I want to focus on how it has, does, and will affect everyone.   I realize that my objective is lofty and one that I may not attain but it is worthy of me giving the old college try. 

Over the past decade, I have talked with numerous liberals, some still in the Democratic fold and some straying from the plantation.  I found a surprising unanimity on some things.   One is that the Left in America is not a homogenous entity but a blending of numerous factions.   

The Left has largely adopted the Middle Eastern philosophy, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”  Thus, they have worked with and even allowed the coopting of their Party Platform by the avid activists on the Far Left to lead the way.   Almost all of the Leftists leading the Party have a disdain for anyone embracing conservative views or embracing Judeo-Christian values.  Therefore, those on the Far Left who hate us are deemed as welcome allies in their quest for power.

It is an unfortunate condition in America that the purveyors of Democratic Socialism or Marxism have hijacked the Left.   Those staunchly entrenched in the Marxist/Socialist philosophy control the Party mechanisms and drive the bus.  They have the singular objective of fundamentally transforming America into a socialist paradise. 

There are a few more traditional, moderate liberals in the Party who are beginning to realize that this agenda will swallow them up and eliminate their position and power.  However, they see no viable pathway to regain control of the Party, so they stay on the proverbial plantation.

If anyone had been paying attention in the early and mid-1960s, they would have quickly realized that there was a hijacking underfoot.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Black community were viewed as useful tools in obtaining their objective.  Sadly, few seemed able to embrace the reality of the high jacking of the Party, but it is. 

The ultra-far-left left-liberals in the Democratic Party viewed Black people as useful and expendable foot soldiers for their cause.   They manipulated and seduced them into believing they were the Party that genuinely cared about their plight.  If one researches LBJ’s views, one will quickly realize that control was the objective, not rectifying any perceived wrong.

The Uber Left has always viewed Black people and now Hispanics, LBGTQ, Transgender, etc., they can manipulate as people to be pitied, patted on the head, tossed an occasional bone, and used as their mascots.  They do not care about the needs of any of those groups.  They care about power and control. 

History reveals that it has been the Republican Party throughout our American history who have taken action that truly benefitted all ethnicities, not the Democrats.   But you never hear that from the media and will never hear it from the far-left activist professors in our institutions of higher learning.

Out of the civil rights and anti-establishment movements of the 1960s came people such as Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Medgar Evers, and others.   Those activists of the 1960s became educators, politicians, and activists of today.  They have been allowed to shape the minds of our youth for decades.  They have successfully produced generations of mind-numbed activists who follow their leaders like children, and rats follow the Pied Piper. 

According to the liberals I spoke to, there is growing trepidation in their ranks over the direction of their beloved Party. Those who love Big Government but want to maintain Capitalism and most of our freedoms seem to be waking up to the reality that the Far-Left Activists have hijacked their Party. Some realize that their future, position, place, and power are becoming endangered, and they, too, will be swallowed up by the destruction of those in control of the agenda. 

Academia is in bed with the Far Left and is the source of advancing that philosophy and ideology.   The entertainment community is joined at the hip with the Far-Left Socialist Communist agenda and ideology.  Those in the Old Democratic Party who would prefer a somewhat more moderate approach to government are realizing that the handwriting is on the wall and their days are numbered, too.  Many of them believe, as do I, that it is too late for the Democratic Party to return to any semblance of moderation.

One of my significant concerns came to fruition in 2020 when Biden was declared the winner and became President.  When they retook the Senate, it posed a threat to our Constitutional Liberties and Freedoms.  The weaponization of government agencies was entrenched.  We may never root out the corruption of the Deep State.

The RINOs within the Republican Party, the Never Trump Advocates, and the Liberal Activist seem to be traveling the same path, and that is cause for concern.  The RINOs and Never Trumpers actively worked to prevent Trump from winning in 2024.  Thankfully, their efforts failed, and hopefully, the GOP will back him as he attempts to work for the people and the Republic.

One of the liberals, now a former liberal, said, “I hope Trump wins in a landslide in 2024 and the Republicans reclaim the Senate and keep the House.”  I was surprised at that declaration, and he explained his reasoning.  He said, “If that happens, there is hope that the Democratic Party will realize its own failure and those who want to move more to the center will regain influence and control of the Party mechanism.” 

In a very real sense that would mean a divorce within the Party by the Far Left and the Left.   It would be bloody and could mean the end of the Party or its resurgence in a position more palatable to millions of voters who would see them as an alternative. 

If the Republicans will follow Trump’s lead, they have the opportunity to relegate the Ultra Liberal Leftism to the trash heap of history.   Will they do that?  They have not in the past, so there is cautious optimism that they will now. 

Donald Trump has the unique ability to talk to and resonate with people from all spectrums of life.   He can communicate with those in what is deemed ‘flyover’ America, those in the urban centers, the rich and the poor.   Why?  Because Trump is Trump and can be nothing else, and that strikes a chord of hope in many hearts.   They believe he means it when He says, “America First.”  Those in the African American, Hispanic, and other ethnic communities are beginning to awaken and see that his policies have been better for them than the age-old Democratic offerings.

We have been granted a small, very short window of opportunity.  No, I do not see Donald Trump as our savior; that is Jesus.  However, I believe he has America at heart and wants to help all Americans.   In this election, his message resonated with the working class, and he was given a clear mandate.  My plea is not to waste this opportunity. 

If the Republicans will seize this opportunity and follow the lead of the President, we can see a new era of conservatism, constitutionalism, and Americanism well into the foreseeable future.   Will that happen?  That depends on you and me.  Therefore, I ask that you join me and the millions like me and pray, work, and keep the pressure on the elected officials to ‘do the right thing.’

God bless you, and God bless America!
