What Redistricting Means To You

The Colorado redistricting battle has hit national news cycles in recent days, with the Washington Post labelling the fight as dirty and underhanded, especially on the side of the liberals (Link to article here).  But wait!  Don't the liberals love equality, tolerance, trees, endangered species and independents?  Apparently not.

Republican Senator Greg Brophy tried to get the redistricting meetings held in public, so we the people could see the antics of our elected officials.  But that was too much for the liberals.  They have been crafting maps in private for months, perhaps years.  And they know that the liberals in the state court system will bend in their direction.  They want to keep liberal socialists like DeGette, Polis and Perlmutter in power, while taking stabs at unseating Tipton, Gardner and others.  This is the constant battle of politics, and you need to know about it.

Most people think that politics is about doing the greater good.  If that were the case, we would already have redistricting maps drawn that made sense.  There would be equal numbers of Republicans, Democrats and Independents in each quadrant.  Each district would not end near Denver, but would represent geographic sectors as well.  But the proposals the socialists put forth do anything but that.  Why?  Because they understand the nature of politics is to win, to impose your views and values on others.  This is why redistricting matters.  If you want a socialist state, keep silent.  If not, contact your state senators and representatives and let them know you are watching this process.  It reveals their true agenda.  And it will probably end up in the hands of liberal judges before it's all over.

Dennis,

Which Constitution are we supposed to follow? The original or the current version?

The original was designed as a Republic with limited voter franchise. Now we have unlimited voter franchise.

I prefer the Bible, it never changes.

The proof is on the news every day.

Stay focused on the Constitution. The Bible is our spiritual guide. The Constitution is our political (policy) guide. Very few politicians pass the litmus test of the Constitution.

This is proof that many elections do not produce men of virtue, often to the contrary.
