Save the World
This is your favorite deplorable talking to you again. Yes, this is your opportunity to save the world. Not from an attacking hoard of monsters from outer space or from a green slime but from our own government.
Crime in Democratic controlled cites is rampant. I looked at the FBIs crime statistics for 2021 and the murder of Police offices is the highest it has been since they started keeping records. Inflation is at a 40-year high, and the cookie monster does not like us anymore.
I am looking at the Bandera County sample ballots for the March Primary. On the Republican ballot there are ten non binding propositions. The first one is secure the border and number two is for the elimination of property taxes within ten years. The remainder of the non-binding propositions are exceptionally good also.
Guess how many non-binding propositions the Democrats have on their ballot. ZERO, ZERO and yes ZERO. This attitude permeates the entire Democratic party. Its no longer what’s best for this country, it’s all about themselves or other countries and how to eliminate hundreds of your freedoms.
Now Biden has started sending American troops to other countries like Ukraine. This is after he deserted Afghanistan and was solely responsible for the deaths of numerous American military members. Was he held accountable for this disaster? No, what is his plan? I have heard nothing. A sad situation.
How did we get to this point in history and what can we do about it? We are in this terrible situation because of apathy. For so long we trusted our government at all levels. We respected their word and we assumed that they cared about us, our Country, and our way of life. We thought that that they would always do what was best for this country and us. How were we repaid for our trust and support? With lies and deceit on both sides of the aisle.
Because our respect and trust has been abused by our government it is time for us to take back our government, Country, and our way of life.
We can start this process by going to the polls in the March Primaries and vote all these non-American politicians out of office. Business as usual must stop and you are the only one that can make this happen.
Do your homework, do not vote for someone that says one thing and does another. Do not vote for someone that does not keep their word or campaign promise. Do not vote for someone that is not a firm supporter of the U.S. and Texas Constitution. Talk to your relatives, friends, and neighbors. Each one of you should generate at least a hundred votes.
In closing I want you to understand that we will not eliminate all the rotten apples from our government immediately. This process will never end. It got this bad because we did not pay attention. It got this bad because we looked the other way.
Our government is like farm or ranch. It takes care and feeding every day. If we do not tend our crops and livestock, they will die. So too will our government, our Country, and our way of life.
