A Fight For Our Democracy

Beginning with a religion of hate for Christians and Jews, New York City's socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, declared, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.” When you couple this with another radical socialist and ally of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, who said, “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state,” you can appreciate the fact that the late President Ronald Reagan was right when he said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: “I'm from the government, and I'm here to help” (See Decision: The Evangelical Voice For today, October 2026).

As we look at what is happening across America, there should be little doubt as to what the Democrat Party has in store for us if they are able to prevail in the upcoming mid-term elections. While it is true that there are Democrats who will tell you that this behavior does not represent the party, it does not change the fact that what is happening 'right before our eyes' has a purpose that has been in the planning stages for decades: the destruction of the United States of America. Unless we can stop it, it is coming for your children; your grandchildren; and for you. If you do not believe me, just look to Europe and what has happened to places like England and France. Wake up people!

Their names are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Abdul El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, Hassan Piker, and Bernie Sanders. Like a cancer that is finding its way into our towns, cities, and neighborhoods, their calls are to “defund the police,” “end support for God's chosen people, Israel,” “take over public ownership of utilities, banks, major industries, and private businesses” and “open up the borders and permit everyone who crosses over to vote.” But there is more....

In Minnesota, they are Amy Klobuchar and her 100% voting record on the killing of our babies and her support for turning boys into girls and girls into boys. They are Kieth Ellison and the damage he did by looking the other way when the State of Minnesota was being ripped off by his Muslim brothers and sisters to the tune of billions of dollars. They are our Secretary of State, Steve Simon, and State Auditor, Zack Filipovich, for being part of Tim Walz's team of destruction. But there is more....

Her name is Peggy Flanagan. As Tim Walz's right hand lieutenant governor, she not only “cut” her eye teeth working for her progressive “hero,” the late Paul Wellstone, but she knew exactly what was happening under the leadership of a governor who almost destroyed the state. And if that is not enough, she not only received assistance from Bernie Sanders in her campaign for the United States Senate, but she denounced Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip as genocide, called for the abolishment of ICE, and championed the support of Medicare for everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, having Margaret “Peggy” Flanagan representing Minnesota in Congress, after what she and her boss did to us, would be like giving a gun to the enemy. For lack of a better vernacular, this woman is a danger to America.

So what is the point? What is the bottom-line? It is namely this: until the Democrat Party stops killing our babies; until the Democrat Party stops supporting homosexuality and the mutilation of our children through gender altering surgery; until the Democrat Party is willing to stand up to a culture that is trying to destroy America and the State of Minnesota through theft and intimidation (See Europe); until the Democrat Party no longer supports Democratic Socialism but stands on the infallible Word of God, you are lying to yourself if you claim to be a Christian and, yet, continue to vote for a party whose mantra has become death and destruction across America. The Battle For Your Soul (Turning Points)!
