You’ve heard these words many times in the past year — the 2024 presidential race is “the most important election in our lifetime.” Is it really? Yes! Here’s one way to describe the environment surrounding this year’s election:
- On the one hand (the left hand, of course), we have the “forces of darkness” — those seeking to complete once and for all the take-over known as the “great reset” or the “fundamental transformation of America.” These Marxist-Socialist big government tyrannical elite are working to make permanent the unelected “deep state” bureaucratic ruling class.
- On the other (the right) hand, we have the “forces of the light” — those representing us who are hoping against hope for a return to conservative, constitutionally limited, representational government.
Ronald Reagan has been famously quoted saying:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream, it must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same….”
People, WE are that “one generation!”
You might ask what happened to our country such that today we find ourselves up against a “woke” Democrat-Socialist “army” that has “captured” each and every major institution. Seemingly overnight?
Actually, “overnight” took over a hundred years — starting in the Progressive era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries continuing all the way up to Whoever is Running the Biden Administration today in the 21st.

Like so many changes, the takeover was slow at first and then quite rapid.
And we allowed it to happen!
According to documentary producer and Palladium Pictures CEO Michael Pack appearing on Newt Gingrich’s podcast, it’s like two armies were at war:
- One (let’s call it the “blue”army) had lots of money, a detailed strategic plan for the “long march,” highly effective tactics, powerful weapons and a “win at all costs”
- The other (the “red” army) relied only on short-term plans and tactics, since they were devoted to spending most of their time and energy with family and career… but on weekends they did write powerful articles in all the influential journals pointing out the terrible things the “blue” army was doing.
We are only now beginning to realize that the consequences of this war are serious. To win it, we’ve got to get serious!
As Kevin Roberts of The Heritage Foundation says, “To save America, we MUST GO ON OFFENSE!”
If we don’t, starting now, our fate will likely be as Reagan described in the rest of his famous quote: “(… or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in a United States where men were free.”
The primary season starts in January, but it is only the beginning.
The Democrat “army” is ready for battle! Are YOU? Republicans will not win without each and every one of you.
We all need to support our favorite candidate in your primary — Door knocking, phone banking, letters to the editor, talking to neighbors, and of course, VOTING.
The Republican Convention is July 15-18 in Milwaukee, at which the Republican nominee for President will be confirmed.
Then, we need to do it again, all of it, all of us, ACTIVELY supporting that candidate against whoever the Democrats throw up against us (and it may well not be Biden).
And don’t expect that they will fight fairly — remember, they are the “win at all costs” army.
But only by getting serious will we have a chance to begin slowing down the forces of darkness. Only by continuing to be serious in turning back the takeover by the left will our Republic be sustained.
