Democrats may find that the defining moment of their supermajority may be the first government shutdown Vermont has seen in generations. Despite passing the largest budget in the history of the state, the Progressive wing of Vermont’s Democratic Party are suddenly asking for even more.
I have been told we are to work things out by crossing over party lines. Not in this Vermont Legislature — not one amendment or Republican bill is brought up or gone through because the ruling parties are negative to the core, or against common sense free speech.
It seems that the “loyalty” that has held their party together is beginning to fray. And this is giving Republicans an opportunity to earn small wins despite a deck stacked against them.
Democrats are now proving that even in the quaint settings of our beloved Green Mountains, the sense of entitlement to power is leading them to abuse the supermajority entrusted to them merely because they are feeling threatened by the minority of the Vermont Progressive Party.
The Democrat Party seems to be bent on further tumult beyond justification. But that’s part of their brand; you can always count on Democrat lawmakers to meddle and complicate something that used to be so simple.
I could go on, but if these things don’t bother you then there’s no point. Unfortunately too many will vote against our best interests.
“When you look at this party, today’s Democratic Party, it’s controlled by fanatical ideologues who hate freedom. They despise the Constitution. They actively find ways to undermine our God-given rights enshrined in the Constitution like freedom of speech.”
Many people, including myself, are starting to get their offers to pre-buy home heating fuel for the upcoming winter. My offer was almost 35% higher than what I paid just 6 months ago. Others are telling me they are paying 50% to 70% more.
“Democrats, I want to meet you. Five or six Democrats out of 10, maybe more, understand that we can work together on pensions, and must — that we can work together to make Vermont more affordable, particularly for the elderly on fixed incomes and our young people. This is our future.”
While many on the right are going after the left’s shifting definitions for the word “woman,” the one that is getting attention right now — and ought to get the attention of Republicans who want to win in November — is the fact that the White House website is now changing the definition of a “recession.”
This week, two Democrat candidates vying to become Vermont’s next attorney general had what could be their final debate before the primary election on Aug. 9 — and both revealed strong left-wing views regarding the office and its role.
Democrats usually see a particular group of people as the problem, so their solution is either to eliminate that person or group of people — or compel them by force to behave differently. That’s why Democrats are becoming the party of punishment.
