Confused Republicans Vs. Determined Democrats
— Tom DeWeese —
The Democrats and their Leftist supporters are operating from an agenda. It is concise, detailed, all encompassing, and completely documented. They know exactly how to enforce it and will not back away no matter the defeats they experience. Republicans, however, have no such determined agenda. Instead, they operate from bits and pieces of ideas about freedom and limited government. But what do they mean? How do they know when they have won or lost? If you don’t know for sure what your goals are, how do you know what needs to be done to achieve them?
In 1992, the UN presented Agenda 21, based on three goals: Social Equity, Economic Prosperity, and Ecological Integrity. These encompass every aspect of human society. Ecological Integrity became the enforcement tool for “Sustainable Development,” Social Equity took over as the thought police, and Economic Prosperity was determined by rule compliance. Most notable were the 17 goals of Agenda 2030, the Green New Deal, and the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. The bottom-line goals are the elimination of free enterprise, private property rights, and individual choice—the three pillars of Freedom.
For thirty years, this agenda has been slipped into policy as government has grown to massive size, dictating how we live, what transportation we use, and how private enterprise must comply in producing their products. Under the social equity Thought Police, our interactions with neighbors and community culture are being torn apart under the label of racism. Now we face an AI threat to our personal privacy, job availability, and the earned currency in our pocket.
The response from Republicans has been confusion. Instead of attacking the root of the agenda, they try to be “reasonable,” offering the “Green New Deal Light.” The National Association of Realtors should be protecting private property rights; instead, they lead in pushing “Smart Growth,” the destroyer of property rights. The American Farmland Trust’s method of “preserving” farms is acquisition and control of development rights. State governments are using eminent domain to take private property for private corporations. Free enterprise and property rights are dying. The Republican leadership response? Nothing.
In 2024, the election of Donald Trump was aimed at returning the Founder’s ideas of freedom to American society. But while patriotic Americans took a breath, the Democrats dug in. The World Economic Forum held an Urban Transformation Summit in San Francisco to design a plan to keep the agenda moving forward at the local level. They have been training over 20,000 private NGOs to take their agenda directly to state legislatures and city councils. These are the shock troops to carry forward the agenda. On October 5, 2025, the WEF held another summit in Wichita, Kansas, announcing that Kansas has been chosen as the “Laboratory for Remobilizing Globalization!”
Republicans accepted the fairy tale that the Democrats were finished. They did nothing to ensure fair and honest elections. The election day shock grabbed the nation. In the Virginia election for Governor, the day before the election, Democrat Abigail Spanberger had received 125,000 early mail-in votes. But on election morning there were 300,000. In the Attorney General race, fifteen minutes before the polls closed, the Republican vote count suddenly dropped off and his opponent rocketed up, giving him the victory. In New Jersey, research shows a steady total of about two million votes for fifty years. Suddenly this year, there were over three million votes cast, and the Democrat received 1.7 million.
The real neglect is the failure of Republican leadership to take control of the voting process to secure fairness. They decided to accept the Democrat plan for mail-in and early voting. The fact is Democrats created and control the system. When Republicans vote early, they are telling Democrats how many votes they need to create to assure their candidate will win.
Today, the fear is growing that this disaster will repeat nationwide in the upcoming midterms. Americans at the local and state levels must take the lead.
Demand the complete restoration of the election system, eliminating voting machines, early voting, and mail-in ballots; clean the voter rolls and require handwritten ballots on election day. The Republican Party had better find new leadership that wants to win and knows what they are fighting for. Define the agenda for FREEDOM and fight for it!
