THE DEMOCRATS JUST WON’T STOP

This was published as a letter to the editor in the Saturday, August 8, 2025 issue of the Sheridan Press. Reprinted here for those folks who don't read the paper.

First it was the “principled” opposition to the deportation of vicious criminal aliens whom Biden allowed to waltz into our country unvetted. Then it was the howling about the current 2.6% inflation rate without a syllable about the outrageous Biden era 8.5% price hikes. Now it’s their latest rant about the “authoritarian,” allegedly racist redistricting proposed by the Texas state legislature.

What is omitted from their current screeds is the fact that the Democrat Party has been gerrymandering districts in the deep blue states for many years. Just take a peek at the 13^th congressional district of Illinois if you want to see the lengths to which they’ll go to lock out Republicans from Congress!

In fact, there are nine deep blue states in which, despite the fact that Republicans comprise between 35-45% of registered voters, there is a grand total of 1 GOP member of Congress (Senator Collins of Maine). All the house seats in these nine states and all the other senate seats are Democrats! This is “defending democracy?” Looks more like taxation without representation to me!  

This latest furor in Texas has Democrat legislators absconding to blue states thus creating the lack of a quorum for approving the new redistricting plan. It’s not the first instance of such infantile Democrat behavior and likely won’t be the last.

This latest example of unprincipled, one-sided, juvenile behavior reaffirms my long held belief that the real goal of the current Democrat Party is the deconstruction of our constitutional republic and its "fundamental transformation" of our country into a form of "people's democracy" ruled by a one-party elite similar to the methodology employed by the Soviet Communist Party back in the day. It also gives credence to the claim that they are far from being ‘liberals" but appear to have more in common with the radical, totalitarian French Jacobins of the late 18^th Century than with 20^th Century liberals.

As evidence of this claim, take a look at the Democrat nominee for Mayor of New York City – Mr. Mamdani. Once you see who he is and the almost unbelievable level of support he’s receiving from Democrat party leaders, I think you’ll join me in saying, “The prosecution rests on count 12,775 of the indictment, your Honor.”
