When people say all politicians are the same beware!

            Well intentioned voters need to realize the groups that dominate our political party's it will be their philosophies and ideologies that will reflect the overall nature of the party…

            When you consider the fiscal chaos our federal government and most state and local governments are in we need to ask ourselves what we have in common with those whom we ally with… In this example we as Rhode Islanders pay among the highest taxes in every category in the country but yet, we still continue to vote in the same politicians who have brought all this on.

            Our state has been dominated by the Democratic Party for over 70 years in which the party has been taken over by government labor unions and liberal minded people who hate everything that made our country great…

            Those of you who are well intentioned who have been voting Democrat all your lives need to realize the nature of the groups that control the party whom have little regards for those who do not believe as they do…  Here are just a few groups that make up the party in which I hope you do not approve of, but if so, so be it…

            First, we'll begin with criminal rights activists whom have little regards for victims. As a conservative I believe if the sentences reflected the severity of the crimes there would be no doubt much less criminality. Also, illegal immigration rights activists who believe in open borders in which most illegal immigrants come here because our country has become "the land of free services" and many have criminal records. The truth is if English was the official language of our country we would save countless $billions in by-lingual services in which we should also secure our borders. However, the majority of the Democratic Party believes otherwise…  Also, groups that distain traditional family values in which foul language and perversion is now the new norm… Next, you have abortion rights activists who even believe in abortion at full term; tell me that isn't murder…. The so called artists of our day who believe in total expression with no limits have designed a culture for the express purpose to demoralize our society; another branch of the party… In addition you have groups like the ACLU, NAACP and Atheists who loath people of faith and have little regards for people who are dignified… Also, everyday we are overwhelmed by the legal profession begging us to sue one another over anything in which we can no longer afford  insurance or represent ourselves in a court of law… Yes indeed, another branch of the tree… These groups and like mined people have embedded themselves in our legislatures, local offices, social services, public education, judicial systems, mainstream news outlets and even in our houses of worship etc…

            When you consider the turmoil in the Middle East that has been going on for centuries and the need to be energy independent that would bring energy costs down, create millions of desperately needed jobs that would infuse our economy with much needed tax revenues we need to realize the dishonesty of the environmentalists who are also a part of the equation… Another groups that we need to be weary of is those who loath our military in which just recently General Dampsy stated," Our military force is so degraded and unready it would be immoral to use force".

            In 1887 Alexander Tyler, who was a Scottish Historian, explained the fall of the Athenian Republic, some 2,100 years ago and stated, "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship." He went on to say, "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back into bondage."

            My Fellow Patriotic Johnstians in just over the past 5 years at the direction of our very liberal president and under the leadership of the Democrat controlled U.S. Senate when you consider the increase of food stamps, free cell phones, utility and housing assistance, the influx of illegal immigration and the lowering of standards to qualify for Social Security Disability coupled with the lack of transparency regarding the IRS, U.S. Justice Dept, Fast and Furious and Benghazi etc, the ship is going down and more well intentioned life long Democrats need to open their eyes to the above truths…
