Why I’m Running to Wreck the Left and Restore America First
Townhall.com ^ | June 18, 2021 | Matt Richards

Most days, it’s hard to recognize our country anymore. Every day that passes since President Trump left office, Democrats in Washington, the mainstream media, and corporate elites chip away at our constitutional rights, systematically attempt to rewrite our history, and cancel anyone who doesn’t comply with their agenda. In many instances, career politicians and weak Republicans are to blame, kicking the can down the road and refusing to stand up and do something about it. I’m not your typical candidate. I’m a conservative businessman, political outsider, demolition expert and Pro-Trump patriot running for Congress in Georgia to wreck the left and Make America Great Again.

My family didn’t have much growing up. At 17, I was sleeping on a dirty floor. I quit school and started working at an oil change shop to make ends meet. I’ll never forget the sense of pride I got from that first paycheck, and the value that a hard, honest day’s work instilled in me. I climbed the ladder, working basically every construction job you can imagine, and eventually started my own business. Today, Legacy Demolition is a multi-million-dollar enterprise, employing hundreds of hardworking Georgians. In short, I’m a proud product of the American Dream.

I believe President Trump was the greatest President of our generation. He built the strongest economy our country has ever seen, defended the Constitution, promoted our conservative values, and delivered a vaccine to the American people in record time. But the radical Left is working overtime to undo all of his accomplishments and put our country on a path towards big government socialism.

That’s why I’m running for Congress—to wreck the Left’s radical agenda and restore the America First agenda that has lifted our country to historic heights of prosperity and success. Biden’s disastrous policies will tank our economy, crush our jobs, and raise our taxes – threatening to destroy the American Dream. On top of that, Democrats are also launching an all-out war on conservative values in Congress – pushing abortion-on-demand, attempting to take away our guns, attacking our men and women in law enforcement, opening our borders, undermining our elections, passing a radical climate change agenda, and worse.

When I get to Washington, I’m going to take a sledgehammer to these radical, far-left policies and work to restore the pro-growth, America First agenda. Just like President Trump, I’ll use my business experience to create jobs, keep taxes low, cut red tape, and empower small businesses to succeed. As a saved Christian, I will fight back against the left’s evil abortion proliferation plan and defend innocent life at every turn. I will champion the Second Amendment and ensure that our God-given right to keep and bear arms is never infringed. I will champion election integrity measures by sponsoring legislation requiring photo ID and other election security measures nationwide. I will push back on the reckless and dangerous cancel culture that seeks to silence any conservatives who don’t comply. And I will always stand with our brave men and women of law enforcement and advance legislation that defunds any cities or states that seek to defund our police. I will stand with our military men and women, fight the rise of an aggressive, communist China, and bring manufacturing jobs and our supply chain back home. I have a bold plan to demolish the left’s agenda and rebuild with a better, brighter future for every Georgian and every American. And there has never been a more important time in our country’s history.

I’m not running because I need this job. I’m running to finally give hardworking Georgians a voice. Like you, I’m sick and tired of career politicians in Washington saying one thing and doing another, all while they take our hard-earned money. Enough is enough. It’s time to send a businessperson and an outsider to Washington to put an end to the Democrats disastrous policies, wreck the left’s radical agenda, and Make America Great Again, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

MORE LIKE THIS NEEDED!!!

Let’s just hope he never mean-tweeted or called someone a bad name on Facebook or his career will be cancelled before it even begins. Or that the “Republicans” aren’t able to “help” him.

“When I get to Washington, I’m going to take a sledgehammer to these radical, far-left policies and work to restore the pro-growth, America First agenda.”

*************

That’s all good and fine but the Left advances its agenda through the power and use of big government. Its the platform they use to launch their attacks against freedom.

Attacking the Left accomplishes little if you can’t shrink the weapon it uses. The best way to do that is to elect people who are committed to reducing the size and power of what has become an overbearing federal behemoth. Why vote for anyone who doesn’t make that a top priority and a firm commitment to voters?

If he gets elected the first thing the RNC will do is focus on converting him to a RINO. That is what the RNC does to every newly elected member. The indoctrination process begins the moment they arrive in Washington.

That will be good entertainment, but until you take a sledgehammer and crack some skulls of a bunch of RINOs nothing is actually going to be done about anything.

The Democrats are executing full on Marxist Cloward-Piven.

The creation of chaos by overloading government with massive social/welfare dependency as the means to a collapse the system. To collapse America and the elimination of the individual and free market capitalism in order to install socialism and a central authoritarian state.

What is happening today is the cultural Marxists ‘End Game’.

Steal the elections, install a puppet and finish the job.

They have already taken control of academia, MSM/Social media venues, Entertainment and created racial/social contention by a myriad of propaganda/crisis-activists posing as victims and agents for equity. Attacked our Judea/Christian foundations with persecution, blame and vile hatred.

Cloward-Piven is a political strategy of calculated chaos, first described in 1966, by two Columbia University sociologists, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.

The RINOs aren’t going to change and neither is the GOP for that matter.

We need a new party that is dedicated to conservative principles and committed to shrinking an overbearing government. That is the sledgehammer that is used against us. The Founders knew this would happen which is why they wanted to restrict its power.

It actually begins when they get staff on board when they decide to run.

Some years back, I was in charge of the construction of a large military project. A Tea Party candidate had supplanted a long time Dem congressman who was noted as pro-miltary over a long career. As I recall it, the new Chief of Staff was the brother of the Democrat’s Campaign Manager and they were going around to all contractors just to let them know the established avenues of monetary support were still greased for those that supported the machine.

It was then I had the further confirmation that being the “Tea Party” candidate meant very little.

An excellent commentary.

The Dems entire strategy essentially rests on one key thing: the power of big government. Its the platform they use to advance their agenda. That’s why they and their allies fight so hard to control it. Without it they are powerless.

Our only hope is to find a way to take this weapon out of their hands by reducing the size and power of what has become an overbearing federal behemoth. If we can’t do this the republic and our liberties are gone forever.

They tried that with Dave Brat and were unable to break him.
That’s why the Bush League Republicans teamed up to elect a CIA drone Democrat to replace him.

There is no hope for anybody with the Republican label. The party is what it is I’m afraid.

Nothing will ever change as long as we rely on the GOP as “our party”.

A new party is our only hope. Imagine what it must be like to vote for a party that actually stands for something.

The RNC doesn’t need to break everyone. They do succeed at breaking nearly everyone, however, and that’s good enough for them.

I hate to give the RNC credit but they are pretty good at turning people. They’ve been doing it for a long time. This is why the party never changes.

The RNC’s job is to protect the Deep State’s Right Flank.

That is exactly what it’s mission is.

After all the resistance the GOP put up to Trump I cannot understand why he still believes he can change the party.
