Democrats want DSA-ers to stop saying the quiet part out loud

- The Washington Times

The Democratic Socialists of America and its radical goals for America don't worry Democrats so much as the fact that DSA members are saying them out loud, and potentially ruining the chances for all the socialists who've quietly infiltrated the Democrat Party to a) win their own elections and b) push the socialist agenda secretly.

Communism cannot exist when citizens know their rights are from God

- The Washington Times

Remember when Barack Obama used his presidency to declare a "Cuban thaw" and in December 2014, threw open America's doors wide to forge a "new course in relations" with Cuban President Raul Castro and his communist government? Yeah. That went about as well as could be expected. Fast-forward to today.

Nicaragua communists are the dream of Democrats

- The Washington Times

Nicaragua's 80-year-old communist dictator, Daniel Ortega, announced his country would no longer hold elections. Republicans look at that and go, holy cow, what a tyrant. Democrats look at that and go, how do we do that here?

For the love of America, please stop calling them progressives

- The Washington Times

Allowing leftist politicians to get by with hiding their anti-American ideologies under the cloak of a safe Democrat Party is a bias of the worst kind. It doesn't just advance a lie. It advances a cover for a very destructive force that is rapidly seeping into the government and destroying America.

The New York Times was right to report on Qatar-gifted Air Force One

- The Washington Times

The Department of Justice has subpoenaed four New York Times journalists for reporting a security matter that required President Trump to fly home on the old Air Force One, not the Qatari-gifted plane, from the NATO summit. This is not a fight the White House should win. It's not even a fight the administration should wage.

Happy 250th: Let's reclaim 'innocent until proven guilty'

- The Washington Times

The key to maintaining liberty is to understand that the roots of tyranny grow and spread in a godless society. As America grows more secular -- as America turns from God and church and traditional values and morals -- so crime spikes and lawlessness spreads and government grows.

Civics, as a matter of national security

- The Washington Times

A survey found 58 percent don't know the main purpose for the Constitution; and 57 percent don't understand why we declared independence from Great Britain. That's not just a sad commentary on the state of the education system. It's a frightening harbinger of the country's loss of freedoms.

Democrats happily blow tax dollars filing frivolous court cases

- The Washington Times

And so begins another round of reckless, feckless, frivolous, costly court dramas, courtesy of Democrats who love, love, love to spend tax dollars on their anti-constitutional designs. If Democrats had to pay for their own legal lawfare, court dockets everywhere would suddenly clear.

House Republicans are investigating American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten to see if she used union dues to pay for the writing and promoting of her book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers." It's expected that her primary defense will be to call out Republicans as fascists.

Republicans aren't guilt-free on the growth of DSA

- The Washington Times

Former President Ronald Reagan used to talk about government as the enemy of freedom. He used to warn that the scariest words in the English language were, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Republicans seem to have forgotten that, though.
