Never surrender to the radical left

June 29, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal

Jeff Erding, Fillmore County Journal - Jeff Erding

The Democrat Party that once fought for the middle class has gone the way of the dodo bird. It no longer believes in the greatness of America or the premise that with hard work and ability, anyone can succeed. It seeks to impose a New World Order ruled by Socialists, and it cares nothing for the suffering that law abiding American citizens are subjected to. All they care about is the power to implement their policies so they can achieve total control of property, people, and the means of production. The current anarchy, destruction of history, and persecution of people of faith are well documented in the formative years of Communist dominated nations. The Democrat party is now controlled by radicals who want to tear America apart piece by piece and rebuild it as an entity that fits their repressive, hateful ideology.

I can prove it:

Consider H.R. 5383: The “New Way Forward” act, introduced  December of 2019, has a stated purpose of overturning all current immigration laws, transforming America into a borderless refuge for criminal aliens. Read it yourself at Congress.Gov. Sponsored by 44 Democrats, including Omar and McCollum of Minnesota, here are a few “highlights”.

•No crime committed by an immigrant would trigger deportation, not even crimes like rape, child molestation, armed robbery, assault, murder, or felony drug charges. Deportation would only be indicated if the sentence included at least fiveyears in prison, and even then an immigration judge could rescind deportation.

•Using false documents to enter America would no longer be a crime.

•Drug possession or addiction would not be grounds for refusing entrance to America or grounds for deportation.

•Illegal entry to America would not be grounds for deportation, and would not be a crime.

•Individuals fleeing incarceration for criminal activity in other countries would not be subject to deportation.

Think that’s crazy? Wait till you hear the best part. Deported criminal aliens would be entitled to reparations. That’s right folks. You, the taxpayer, would have to pay to contact previously deported criminals and buy them a plane ticket back to the USA, about 440,000 of them at a cost of a billion dollars or so BEFORE the cost of providing them free social service benefits such as health care.

But Democrat leadership killed this travesty, right? Wrong! Far from dead, in January it was sent to the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship. My guess, it will stay there pending the November elections, hoping enough people like Dan Feehan will sneak into office and vote for it. And don’t think he won’t vote for this and any other radical legislation Democrat leadership tells him to. Nancy Pelosi did not hand pick this guy without eliciting assurances he will vote her way 100% of the time. I spoke with him personally, he is not pro-life, he is not pro-second amendment, he is not for limited government.

Democrat Jordan Fontenello is running against our 28b Representative Greg Davids. He wrote a commentary in the 6/22 Journal designed to convince us what a great job he will do, reaching across the aisle and working for his constituents. Okay, let’s hear some specifics. Would he vote to protect our right to keep and bear arms? Would  he vote to end the recent tyranny of  authoritarian rule forced on rural Minnesota by  Governor Walz? Would he vote to support the sanctity of human life, born and unborn? Will he support the tax and spend policies that favor the wish list of the Metro over the needs of our own District 28b?

The forced isolation, rioting, and looting of the past couple  months are a preview of life under socialism. H.R. 5383 tells us all we need to know about the agenda of the radical leftists who control the Democrat Party.  If we want to preserve the qualities of goodness and freedom that exist in America, this is no time to be cowed into silence. We must exhibit the courage of our convictions.

Finally, an appeal to local clergy; Please respond in writing to recent smears of Christianity by Van Gorp and Rendahl.  Thank you!                     

God Bless,    

Jeff

    Excellent article and important to hard working Minnesotans who are so used to voting DFL and not realizing where the party has gone. You won’t find a more fair minded person than Greg Davids to represent you and it is extremely important for your readers to know the only real reason to try and steal solid seat is to implement an agenda that will hurt Minnesota. Keep up the articles !!!!!

    Jeff,

    I couldn’t agree more with what you are saying!
    Thank you for your voice of reason. Keep up the good fight, our country is being
    attacked from within.

    I just read Van Gorp’s editorial, titled Correcting Myths, and am sitting here shaking my head
    wondering how people can think so differently and see things so differently.

    Thank you, again.

    Jeff,
    Excellent common sense argument. It’s difficult to argue with you when one uses logic instead of “feelings”.
