Aurora, Ill.
Nipping it in the bud is actually a gardening term which proves itself true and I believe can be adapted to other circumstances especially the voices of the Republican Party candidates for governor. I want to start with Richard Irvin’s blaming governor JB Pritzker for crime in Illinois. It is basically anti-Republican because Republicans supposedly believe in small, local, government.
Policing lies in the lap of the local municipality. Mayor Irvin’s mythical, wild west, stance behind the podium of not in my town of Aurora, did not work.
Crime is up, drug use is up, no matter how much he suppresses statistics.
Republicans need to be open to revisiting the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Not to take away guns, but adapt it to today. Back then the need was different. There were not so many with mental disease and dysfunctions along with opioids, prescribed or not prescribed.
Republicans want their guns and law and order, but call efforts to help those who are prone to violence as socialists and Marxist. I dare say that most Republicans would not recognize Karl Marx if he returned to us.
Too much in the Republican Party is standing behind the podium fear-mongering, falsely defaming the other with no policy, or ideology to move the Country forward.
It is not my father’s beloved Republican Party.
Republicans claim to have Christian alliances. If we must, keep the Second Amendment as it is and let us return to Biblical stoning and having COVID people march through the streets to colonial methods and say unclean.
The Republican candidates in Illinois need to follow Paul of the Scriptures and put away childish things, vain imaginations, and delusions. Even children know the difference. Those such as Tucker Carlson and Richard Irvin’s ads need to come to their senses. Let’s nip it in the bud and run decent, reality-based, campaigns.
