It really is the most important election in our lifetime.

It’s the nature of elections that they get described as, “the most important election in our lifetime.” That description has been used so frequently as to have lost its meaning.

Too bad.

Because it’s probably true this time. That’s because the two major parties have never been farther apart. And for you folks who believe that culpability for that divide lies on both sides, I’ll grant you that – but only if you apportion that culpability on a 90/10 split in favor of the Democrats.

That’s a long way of saying that the Democrats have jumped the rails. The Democratic Party of today would be unrecognizable to Democrats of old like John F. Kennedy, Daniel Patrick Moynihan or Sam Rayburn of Texas. Democrats of that era believed in the Constitution, believed in the rule of law and were steadfast in their resistance to socialism and communism.

Such is not the Democratic Party of 2026. In this midterm campaign, Democrat candidates are doing their best to distance themselves from their own far-left statements from primary season. But all that looney stuff they said when they were playing to their base – believe it. Otherwise, ignore it at your peril. The looney stuff like abolishing the Senate, abolishing ICE, closing prisons, opening the borders and doing away with presidential elections is what this bunch of Dems really believes. Don’t think otherwise.

But for now, they’re hoping you’ll forget all that. They’re busy running on lowering prices for gasoline, groceries and housing. It’s a crock – campaign slogan and soundbite stuff.

As I have been saying for weeks, the quiet part is that the Dems are loving high gasoline, grocery and housing prices. It gives them something to distract voters from their lunatic statements of just months ago and – far more important – it gives them something to run on by which to gain office. By gaining office, they would then be free to pursue that in which they are truly interested.

And no, it’s not more affordable gas, groceries and housing.

It’s fundamentally changing the institutions and the very foundational concepts of the country. Dems don’t want incremental policy changes toward the goal of making life better and prosperity more widely shared. They want to take the house down to the studs and start over.

They reject the limitations imposed upon government by the Constitution. They reject the idea of controlled, orderly immigration. They reject the institutions and mechanisms of law enforcement. They reject the superiority of citizens over government. And they reject capitalism and individual economic freedom.

These rejections of long-standing beliefs and institutions animate a Democratic Party that concurrently wants to confiscate lawfully earned personal wealth for redistribution to a fractious coalition of unions, NGOs, the professoriate, those here illegally and the dependent class – constituencies that Democrats count on to keep them in power.

So, don’t be confused. This midterm isn’t a candidate or policy election. It’s a referendum on the foundational institutions and beliefs of the nation.

It really is the most important election in our lifetime.

    Isn’t ANY organization that is actively destroying the USA and our foundation of Western Civilization by using a perverted twist of our own laws to conspire to overthrow our Constitutional Republic, a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION? YES! Therefore, they are subversive ENEMIES at WAR with the Citizens of this country and should be arrested and charged with TERRORISM and thrown into military jails and stand trial for TREASON in a military court (as in WW2) and punished accordingly.

    The President is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces and has the authority to wage domestic war against domestic enemies in the process of conducting internal wars against the American people by way of infiltration in every governmental (legislative, executive, judicial), educational, medical, religious, and commercial or trade organizations. Why doesn’t President Donald Trump make this well known in that these midterm elections may in fact be the desperate vehicle by which the ENEMY is HOT to make a last stand to steal away our Republic and establish their RED-GREEN alliance dictatorship with the International/Globalist versions of the Communist (Red) and Islamist (Green) to rule our country in the manner that Paul’s comments have predicted?

    This ENEMY, as earlier stated in my post, has absolutely NO intent to abide by the rule of LAW as we have seen by the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attempted assassinations of President Trump. The Enemy does not hide their published subversion plans and methods (“Unrestricted Warfare”). They have the fake media and the billionaire benefactors, both domestic and foreign (CCP), to saturate the American society with the propaganda of hatred for America’s founding principles while worshiping their DEMONIC plans of conquest in favor of TYRANNY wrapped in a “justice for all” remake of society as Paul had detailed. How much domestic infrastructure destruction can 25 million illegal aliens of unknown loyalties as installed by the previous subversive Presidential regime be capable of creating havoc on American society?

  4. I call the dribble “lunatic statements”. I only wish I could call 911.

    I’m a little bit amused that a lot of older Dems are aghast at how blatant the socialist subversive rhetoric of the current crop they fostered is. When you do nothing but bash the traditional institutions of the country every chance you get, what kind of legacy do you think arises? Now they can’t control them, and lack both the will and the relevance to stand up to them. They’ll beat bongos and tambourines at their No Kings rallies, but the young socialists mock old hippies the same way they do conservatives. Dearie, dear. What to do.
