CHAPTER NEWSLETTERS

© 2024 by Peter Coe Verbica,
Chairman emeritus,
California Congress of Republicans

Thank you!  Thank you!  Chapters, members and friends of the California Congress of Republicans (“CCR”), thank you! We could end our message here, because really, our primary message is to reiterate our unbridled appreciation.

Now, if you are familiar with our noble work, you know that CCR is a guardian at the gates of Western Civilization.  We are a 501(c)(4), a non-profit organization which operates exclusively to promote social welfare.

Before we begin, we could ask you a question.  What is the biggest difference between Republicans and Democrats?  Republicans sign their checks on the front, and democrats sign on the back.  We are the payers.  Democrats are the takers.

And, if you are wondering, how do you confuse a Liberal, you do not. They are born that way.  Our primary goal is to bring common sense to the ignorant, so that as they grow older and wiser, they will realize with assurance who is their friend and who is their enemy.

The words herein are board and batten of a barn still under construction; as such, it is a barn constructed with rough but reliable wood.  It is unfinished carpentry, and it may leave you with a few splinters.  But know that the timbers are solid.  The joists are square, and the trusses are true.  The clerestory windows invite the light.

For those who hate Trump, we have a simple truth: if you hate Trump, you are really going to hate Communism.  As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. acknowledges, today’s Democrat party is not the party of his famous uncle, John F. Kennedy.  It is not the party of Harry Truman.  It is a party placing a dark shadow over the First Amendment.  It is a party looking to silence and intimidate.

We understand the nuance of what being “unburdened by the past” really means.  It is code-speak for Marxism.  Communism is an indelible stain upon the history of humanity; it is a scourge responsible for killing more than 100 million people.  How ironic that Leftists cloak themselves in the assurance that they are the saviors of democracy.

George Orwell warned us of such propaganda which replaces up with down and good with vile.  As Ayn Rand illuminates,

“There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end:
communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism – by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”
