“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” – Edmund Burke

Our Constitutional Republic is being quickly eroded as we watch. The progressive, woke, globalist power structure is flat out evil. They want to rewrite our history, eliminate the nuclear family, ruin our economy, normalize perversion and destroy our culture, all for the purpose of rebuilding it to their Utopian vision.

There is resistance, but it is disjointed and fragmented. Nationally, statewide and locally, supposed allies are undermining and backbiting each other. Nationally, the Democrats and RINO Republicans have, in essence, formed the Uniparty with the intention of concentrating their power. In the Arizona legislature, while the Democrats seem to always vote in unison, a few Republicans will switch sides, often negating the small majority they have.

Locally, our troubles are twofold. First, we have some Republicans bad mouthing some of our elected officials, lobbying to get their conservative ratings lowered. One wonders if this group has spoken to Ken Bennett, Selina Bliss and Quang Nguyen to ask them about their votes, the nuances, and compromises that take place to pass legislation. Do these relative new comers to our state and organization realize that by attacking our legislators, these legislators have to spend time defending themselves; time that could be better spent working for the best interests of their constituents?

Second, it looks like there are power struggles within our local Republican organizations. While contests to head these groups are generally healthy for governing the group, lobbying members with negative words about an opponent are counter productive to the governing body. It causes ill will and makes reconciliation that much more difficult after the vote. A much better way is to positively tell the members what the candidate wants to accomplish for the members. Afterward, reconciliation and compromise should occur. We should compromise our ideas among ourselves, but never our principals with those who seek to “fundamentally” change our country.

We need leadership that will gather all candidates for particular offices together and convince them to support just one candidate, (or two, where we can vote for two candidates). Using the last Prescott Unified School District election as an example, conservative Republicans had an excess of good candidates for a limited number of seats on the board. The Democrats had only the minimum number of candidates. As a result, we split our vote and the school board is much more liberal than it should be. It does not reflect the views of our citizens. This is a lesson we should learn for every office we seek. We need to limit the number of good candidates so we can sit them on the conservative side of the aisle.

All over the United States, the problem of having too many qualified, nonprogressive candidates running in local elections is hurting our cause. One of the most conservative cities in California is Surf City, Huntington Beach. For years they had a progressive city council because too many good Republican candidates split the vote. The last election, the Republicans got together and provided a limited slate of good candidates that represented their views. They were elected. Now Huntington Beach has a majority of conservatives on the city council. They are planning to do the same in the next election. This will enable them to get rid of the last “progressives” on their council.

Those of us who want to preserve the country and the Constitutional Republic we grew up with, need to stop undermining our own people, reconcile our internal differences and face the leftist, woke globalist progressive Democrats with a solid, single front.
