(Aug. 12, 2026) — Stepping out of character, today will be a sermon on the dangers of apathy which is the destroyer of relationships all the way from the personal level to the national level. Although one may be afflicted with apathy, it is a guarantee that the other side is not so afflicted and will take unwanted action and power without your consent.
Today Washington, Oregon, California and Colorado are political disasters controlled as one-party states by an increasingly tyrannical Democratic Party. California is the worst as the Jungle Primary system favors general election ballots often with zero representation by the Republican Party. Arizona can be viewed as a “refugee state” for escaping Republicans, Conservatives and believers of Capitalism free enterprise fleeing from the despotism of the aforementioned states. What is even more dangerous is that the Democratic Party is engaged in its own civil war between “traditional” Democrats and the ascendant “Socialist Communist Democrat Party” which is winning. All Americans will suffer in poverty and oppression if this travesty succeeds.
However, all is not right even here in Mudville, Arizona. Yavapai County is the center of Conservatism, but too many Republicans are sitting on their keisters and fail to vote. In the July 21 primary, only 54% of registered Republicans voted which means 40,470 registered Republicans failed to cast a ballot! This failure to vote is literally turning Arizona into another Blue cesspool state. Kari Lake lost to Katie Hobbs only by 0.67%, or 17,000 votes. You do the math as to who could have won if only Yavapai Republicans had done their duty, making the Veto Queen a thing of the past. Our kids are being cheated as a result of our laziness.
The remainder of today’s sermon is directed to Arizona Precinct Committeemen. If you are not already a PC, then join to make a difference. Get off your butts, as you have a job to do with the general election just a few short weeks away. Thinking that the other guy will do it is the foundation of Socialism and Communism. The other guy is thinking exactly the same thing, that you will do it, resulting in nothing getting done. We Republicans have seen the evil that Arizona Democrats do and they want to take it to the next level if we let them. We have to get the vote out if Arizona continues being a free state. We are shooting at 60%+ voter participation to overcome “Too big to rig” voting fraud committed in our Southern counties.
Laziness is a virtue but only after the job has been completed. When your PC Captain contacts you, it has been your pledge to answer and take action. Knocking on doors for the primary was a real grind in 90+ degree weather but the great news is that the weather will be perfect leading up to the general election. It is a little scary when you first go knocking, but it gets really easy with practice. We will show you the path. If you are unable to walk, then do phone calling, donate money, do anything to show the Democrats who’s boss and show these rascals the door.
Communism and the destruction of the US Constitution seems like a fable but it is actually happening in America. If you don’t stop it, who will? Ask any Jew who took a train ride in Germany but managed to survive. It is coming here, and one’s Christian faith alone will not save you this time. Put on your boots and get out the vote to win!
