For Love of Country: Why it's time to leave the Democratic Party behind
Fox News ^ | April 30, 2024 | Tulsi Gabbard

Posted on 04/30/2024 5:48:00 AM PDT by Reno89519

We have no time to waste. We live in troubled times. Our nation is bitterly divided. Our future as a republic, as a union, appears bleak. The news – the noise, the insanity, the darkness – is something many of us want to shut out. There are times when all I want to do is grab my surfboard and paddle out into the ocean, or go for a hike in the mountains, and appreciate the peace and majesty of Mother Nature.

But there is too much at stake, in this moment, to put our heads in the sand and go about our lives with blinders on hoping the insanity will fade away.

...

The party I joined over 20 years ago no longer exists today.

I could no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party, which is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers fueled by cowardly wokeness who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-White racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, allow our borders to remain open while claiming they are "secure," weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and, above all, drag us closer to nuclear war with each passing day.

I left the Democratic Party and became an Independent. For the sake of our country, peace, freedom and our hope for a prosperous future, I urge you to do the same.

...

Will you join me?

Aloha.

And maybe she has been naturalized, but that is still NOT a natural born citizen. It would be good of her and others to transparently talk about this, not ignore it as post-Obama not being important.

I believe through her mother, she’s eligible for Condular Report of birth abroad as born before Feb 15, 1990.

There is no Democratic Party. There’s a Democrat Party. Quit crediting them with a virtue they lack.

Last I heard, she still identifies as a socialist.
And like with RFK, Jr., that dog doesn’t hunt.

Do we have to hear this all the time?

Reagan was a former Democrat. The keyword is FORMER.

It is good that some people see the light.

Agreed, but apparently that is not good enough for many people here on FR.

I figure they just don’t want her as VP.

I left the Democratic Party behind decades ago.

So, Tulsi, tell me where you stand on:

1) Gun control
2) Abortion
3) Border security
4) Global warming
5) Rebuilding the military
6) Taxation
7) Regulatory rulemaking and mandates
8) Infrastructure maintenance
9) Homosexual/Transsexual matters

Tell me why I should believe anything you say in answer.

Well, Trump has done a 180 on several of these. Each of us have one or more red lines. For me, border security is number one, which is why I have pointed out his changed views, varying positions, failed promises.

Anyway, I don't support or encourage Gabbard as VP but I seriously think we should expect and not be surprised if she is Trump's choice. I think another might be Sanders. The others don't have great national standing or add much to help Trump.

Would you vote for Bernie Sanders, avowed communist, to be Vice President?

I’d be super OK with her as Trump’s running mate. She’s smart and can speak to women and moderate Dems.

Thanks

Too many Sanders, I suppose.

My preference is Harlan ...
