Imagine an election in which the presidential candidate from the opposing party does not appear on your state’s ballot.
Now imagine this being the case in all fifty states of the disunion.
This from frontpagemag.com.
The communists/globalists of Colorado announced they will determine who the Republican presidential candidates can and cannot be. California is trying to follow suit.
California may be the next state to ban former President Trump from its primary ballot over 14th Amendment concerns. Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis [C/G] requested Wednesday the state look into ‘every legal option’ to do just that.
Kounalakis wrote to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber (C/G):
Based on the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling … I urge you to explore every legal option to remove President Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.
Further:
This decision is about honoring the rule of law in our country and protecting the fundamental pillars of democracy.
This foolish woman speaks with forked tongue: Abusing the political ideals—“rule of law” and “pillars of democracy”—to deny a large segment of the population the right to vote for the candidate(s) of their choice violates both the rule of law and one or more of the pillars of democracy.
NOTE: John Locke—English philosopher, physician, writer of ‘man has three natural rights: life, liberty, and property’—wrote that freedom in society means being subject only to laws written by a legislature that apply to everyone.
Adherence to the rule of law helps to preserve the rights of all people in a democratic society.
The pillars of democracy are: opportunity for education, equality before the law, the citizen’s freedom, and voting rights.
The ruling class preventing members of the opposition from voting for their candidates of choice IS NOT rule of law NOR in accordance with the pillars of democracy.
Finally, however, State Republicans have started to take action to follow suit.
Lone Star State Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham Tuesday night:
Seeing what happened in Colorado makes me think—except we believe in democracy in Texas—maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he’s been president, disrupting our state far more than anything anyone else has done in recent history.
While condemning the Colorado decision, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pondered aloud what the limiting principle would be for that policy.
He asked Wednesday at a campaign event in Iowa:
Could we just say that Biden can’t be on the ballot because he let in 8 million illegals into the country, and violated the Constitution?
Push this further and we may have a presidential race in which the candidate from the opposing party does not appear on the ballots of the most Leftist and Republican states. A crazy scenario, yes, but one that is no longer entirely impossible.
The following is a popular speech given by Daniel Greenfield—a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism—some years back at the South Carolina Tea Party convention in which he laid out the cold or slow civil war we were in.
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here.
What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win. It means they don’t believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections. That’s a civil war.
The idea that the two parties transfer power through elections is on the verge of collapse. And there is no sign that the pressure on that system will soon abate.
Communists/Globalists prevent Republicans from appearing on ballots. It’s not just Trump. Look at Oregon.
While the proposal to ban Republicans from running for office had $2.5 million behind it, the opposition had none. A fifth of the votes in favor came out of Multnomah County: the home of Portland. Put in charge of determining what Measure 113 actually meant were Democratic officials appointed by Democrat governors who were serving as Secretary of State and State Attorney General: who of course decided that it meant what their party wanted it to mean.
The proposed purge of much of the Republican State Senate delegation is a demonstration of what democracy looks like when it’s uncoupled from constitutional protections, free and fair elections, multiparty representation and even-handed laws.
Communists/Globalists keep covering their actions with the word “democracy,” but they mean social democracy, not actual elections.
We are a Constitutional Republic. To quote Benjamin Franklin, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.”
And the second part of that quotation, “Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
Final thought: The recent term bandied about has been “Civil War” but more accurately will this not more likely prove to be a War of Independence II?
