Buttigieg seeks to reclaim American values for Democrats
The Gazette ^ | 5/18/19 | James Q. Lynch

Posted on 05/18/2019 4:50:30 PM PDT by madprof98

“So whatever we do now will decide not just what the next four years looks like, but what like but the next 40 years will look like,” Buttigieg told more than 500 people at the Wildwood Smokehouse & Saloon. “That’s why we’ve just not got to win an election, but win the era for our values.”

Republicans have made claims on those values and Buttigieg is reclaiming them, said Sarah Prineas, who introduced him.

Buttigieg “doesn’t pay a whole lot of attention to the giant, orange elephant in the room,” she said. “He is a uniter. He makes us feel like we’re in this together.”

Buttigieg, who made a stop at the Iowa City farmers’ market ahead of the rally, contends his rhetoric about values appeals to not only his Democratic audiences but to voters “who are not tribal, committed partisans.”

***

By appealing to shared values “like freedom and security and democracy and faith and family ... means there is more to reaching out to independents than moving into the center.”

“These are things that don’t belong to one party unless we surrender them on my side of the aisle,” Buttigieg said. “If we do that, we shouldn’t be surprised that someone family oriented or faith oriented of shooting [?] oriented thinks the Republicans are the only ones speaking to them.”

***

Republicans weren’t as generous in their assessment of Buttigieg’s campaign swing through Iowa.

“Pete Buttigieg hasn’t been properly vetted by the American people yet, but we already know he’s fully embracing the 2020 Democratic platform of late-term abortion, government-run health care, abolishing the Electoral College and court packing,” Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said.

The only flag Buttgig can wrap himself in is the fag flag, and that is a symbol they stole from the Bible.

Caligula did not marry his horse, but he did make him a senator. He did impregnate his sister, though.

Which American values are those?

I think there is a stark gap between what we see as our values (as perceived and implemented by our Age-of-Enlightenment Founders, values such as the Nation State, limited government, consent of the governed, separation of powers, and free markets) and what the Democrats see as our values (embrace of various human "rights", wealth redistribution, social justice activism, and environmentalism).

In fairness, they have been able to articulate and promote their values through the media, academia, and Hollywood better than we have.

None of which he actually believes in.

Because they were smart enough (and insidious enough) to infiltrate those forums. Now they own them and we’re fighting a comeback action.

Yeah!

It is for damshure that "Democrat values" are NOT American values!

Democrats are the party of death!

Let us make no mistake about it:

A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!

America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!

So other wise pointing out the obvious, your missing the point that they vote for these idiots because they hate this country anyways!
