From My Heart
I suppose you have been watching reports about this new wing of the Democratic Party, calling itself the Democratic Socialists of America. There are several folks running for the House, the Senate, and Governorships around the country. These candidates are being endorsed by the likes of George Soros, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and many other extremists within the Democratic Party.
So, what is the platform of these self-proclaimed Democratic Socialists of America? They have the kind of platform you might expect, as they have become emboldened by a few of their candidates having success in various places. They literally believe America wants to become a Communist country. Don’t let the term “Socialist” throw you: these people are full-blown Communists. They want a Communist America!
You might remember a few weeks ago, the Democrats in Maine replaced their Senate candidate who had several accusations against him from women who accused him of some serious felonies. The Democrats had an emergency meeting and chose a new candidate, Troy Jackson, to run against Susan Collins. I am not sure why they feel the need to run a candidate against her, since she votes with the Democrats far too often for my liking! But the fellow they chose is an outright Democratic Socialist.
In an acceptance speech, Mr. Jackson laid out his agenda. His agenda is abolishing our nation’s borders, emptying the prisons, single-payer healthcare, abolishing the United States Senate (of all things, since he is running for the Senate), abolishing the Supreme Court, abolishing the Dept. of Justice, abolishing the Dept. of Homeland Security, and granting full amnesty and citizenship to all illegals! What could possibly go wrong with a platform like that?
One of the “lamestream” news networks asked Bernie Sanders if he vetted any of the Democratic Socialists of America candidates he is endorsing! He said he had not, but he did not feel he needed to because they have the right formula for what is good for America! Meaning, the end justifies the means! I think he meant these candidates have the right formula for what is good for Bernie Sanders!
Pray for your country and for our legislators to be strong and make the right decisions! Communism, Islamists, and radicals of all types are becoming more and more bold as they seek to control our government! Pray for folks to stand up for our laws and for the Constitution.
Have a great day and may the Lord bless you richly.
Pastor Norris
