Conservative Thought

 The Democrats go on to say, “We believe in a Colorado where everyone has a fair shot.” Really?  How exactly can you possibly do that? Those older than me used to say, “Life isn’t fair.” I believe that’s true and thus you work harder, pray more and don’t give up.  We were taught “You don’t get something for nothing.”  The problem with too many of the younger generation is that they feel entitled and expect the government to take care of them.  When that doesn’t work, they give up or become a professional rioter.

 

Well, lets move on to the “meatier” proposals. I could go for days but please, just go and read for yourself.

Religious Issues:

​

• Uphold the separation of church and state. No religious doctrine should dictate government policy. (In all reality, they have it backwards. It should say, no government policy should dictate religious doctrine.)

• Uphold the separation of church and state in our public-school education.

• Oppose book bans and fight attempts by School Districts to ban books that educators have deemed appropriate.

• Restrictions on academic liberty. (Teachers can promote socialism, sex modification or anything else.)

• Hold all religious entities accountable to the same civil rights responsibilities as all other government and public entities.

• Keep public money in public schools; no vouchers or private school tuition tax credits.

Taxpayer Monies for Free Programs:

​

• A diverse, equitable, high-quality, and affordable or FREE education

• Statewide health care financing system

• Housing or shelter for immigrants

• First-time homebuyers' down payment.

• Universal Preschool in the state budget.

• Free or low-cost mental health, behavioral health, and substance use treatment, including telehealth services.

• Free public schools

• Free health care and lifelong learning into public school buildings.

• Free public preschool availability

• Free trade schools and community colleges

Political Issues:

 

• Oppose political retaliation by the government. Firing employees for their views and weaponizing agencies against critics are hallmarks of authoritarianism. Protect the right to protest without militarized response, surveillance, or prosecution. (They didn’t care much about this when the military were removed from jobs due to refusing vax or doctors losing jobs and put off social media for warning about vax.

• Protect government employees and members of the military who refuse unlawful orders that violate their oath. (Who determines what an unlawful order is? Members of the military or the Democratic Party in Colorado? Or are they advocating sedition?)

• Support independent redistricting commissions, except as needed in defense of democracy. (In other words, except Rep. party redistricting)

• Oppose any attempt to transform our democratic republic into a dictatorship. (What does this mean? Who decides, the Democratic Party?)

• Oppose the concentration of political power in the hands of the ultra-wealthy and foreign interests. (I guess they don’t mind the money sent to Bennet’s campaign)

• Expand media literacy so the public can recognize propaganda, and mis- and disinformation. (The Democratic Party wants to tell you how to recognize propaganda and disinformation.  They certainly have practiced and developed the art.)

• Abolish ICE, prosecute agents (They have no authority to do this!!)

Socialist and Far Left Agenda:

​

• Equal pay (For what? Doctor and grocery clerk?)

• Assess reparations/land transfers to POC (People of Color) for previous takings of life, liberty, artifacts, and land. We support consideration of new lands for native tribes and peoples along the front range. 

• Bodily autonomy and well-being. (sex change, abortion, men in women’s sports)

• Allow all people living in Colorado to access state provided public services without checking immigration status. (Plus get to vote.)

• Uphold sanctuary city laws. (Finally they admit to being a sanctuary city)

• End the practice of treating undocumented immigration and crossing the border as a criminal offense. (Ugh, it is! It’s illegal!)

• Advocate for immigrants, regardless of documentation, to receive the benefits from the money they put into our social services as income and social security taxes. Any worker who pays into the system deserves access to the benefits and/or tax refunds if they file taxes.   (If they file taxes.)

• Explore universal basic income pilot programs in Colorado, studying their impact on poverty, workforce participation, and family stability.  (This is giving eligible people $500 a MONTH with no strings attached. It is happening in many cities already...this is ON TOP of welfare, SNAP benefits, housing subsidies and free healthcare...generally, it seems to be: creating government cash-payment programs that provide residents with regular money regardless of employment status, to reduce poverty and income inequality.

There is so much more that is certainly questionable and undeniably not a power of the State of Colorado or the Democratic Party.  I’m pretty sure, however, that most Democrats would agree with the platform, even though it is unrealistic, anti-Christian, racist, socialist and totalitarian, something they usually call the Trump administration.

​

This is where the Democratic Party is taking us.  Better hope you don’t own land that used to belong to Native Americans because reparations could be costly and don’t say “illegal” you could go to jail or get sued.  (Their lawyer will be paid by your taxes.)
