Speak
out against party lines, Comrade, and you will soon be consigned to
the ash heap of history. That is what being a members of the
Democratic party have been shown repeatedly. Have an idea different
than the party’s? No, you don’t, or else. Sound familiar? Anyone
who has read history knows that these are the utterings of Communist
or a NAZI. In the twenty-first century, this is a Democrat.
Take
for example former Democratic
Rep. Dan Lipinski. He
WAS one
of the few remaining conservative Democrats in Congress. Since
his views were not party lne he went
under siege from the left in
his own party,
battling for his political life against progressives teamed
up to replace him with
a candidate that
was far
more in line with liberal orthodoxy. He
knew he didn’t stand a chance. Before his defeat he stated, “There
are Democrats who are a lot more conservative than I am on issues.
(who
are silent.)
I wish there were more moderate Democrats.”(who
had their own mind.) In the 2020 primary Lipinski was defeated in the
Democratic primary by progressive challenger Marie Newman.
Another
Democrat Representative, Jeff Van Drew, also could no longer be a
clone to the party. Van
Drew was the Democratic nominee in New Jersey's 2nd congressional
district in the 2018 election. He was elected with 53% of the vote
against Republican nominee Seth Grossman, who received 45% of the
vote. "I’m proud to be a Democrat because to me it always
represented working people, middle class people and issues of
compassion."
However,
after a short time on Capitol Hill he became extremely disgruntled
with the old guard of the party, who are controlled by the Lefist
elite both inside and outside the United States, and the new, ever
growing, Progressive pro-Communist ideolgy being pushed down his
throat. On December 19, 2019, Van Drew announced that he would be
leaving the Socialist Democrats and joining the Republican Party, and
he officially did so on January 7, 2020. Here, in his own words, are
his reasonig and hopes and fears for America.
"My
decision to leave the Democrat Party was one that was not entered
into lightly. The pressure of party bosses, activists, and even my
colleagues, was great, but the Democrat Party has changed. It is no
longer the party that my grandparents and I grew up admiring. It is
not the party that once allowed for and encouraged free thought and
robust debate. Now, it is a mob that drives policy decisions with the
goal of starting over with a new system of governance."
"I
was always told that Republicans would marginalize me, push me
aside and treat me like dirt. This could not be further from the
truth. I have been welcomed with open arms, and even when I have
disagreed on some issues, my views have been respected. The picture
of Republicans that is painted by Democrats and their allies in the
media is mostly false; in fact, many of my former colleagues firmly
believe the Republican Party is the sole cause of many societal ills.
It is this unjustified logic that allows them to treat their
colleagues, their constituents and their fellow citizens with disdain
and call them deplorable, or worse. We must work in concert to keep
America unified and push back against that ignorance. I have never
been driven by partisan politics, only a desire to better the lives
of my constituents."
"America
is under immense pressure to turn its back on the things that have
made it exceptional. Make no mistake, many proposals put forth by the
House majority in this Congress, while cloaked in the language of
good intentions, are not governed by truth and are communistic in
nature. Many continue to run away from America. I cannot – I must
run toward America. I will fight for my district, my state, and my
nation."
"Winston
Churchill once stated – “…that democracy is the worst form of
government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”
America is not perfect, but it is better than every alternative."
"I
will always be focused on supporting proposals that keep America
strong and prosperous. We must continue to provide our society with
the opportunities on which our past, present and future generations
have and will continue to thrive. We cannot stand by and idly watch;
we must be actively involved in the fight for this nation. I love
America and the opportunity for which it stands. We must continue to
improve ourselves without destroying all the values that have made us
great."
THIS
IS A PATRIOT - THIS IS AN AMERICAN
