— Civil servants should refuse to implement cruel policies, even if it costs them. DD: My fighting political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination in the federal government cost me big time. To advance in the federal government, you have to be a Democrat. If I had become a Democrat, even though I was not a minority, female, or veteran, the Democrats who ran the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 because I earned three job-related masters degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. None of my coworkers came anywhere near close to doing what I did. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

— To advance under socialism, you have to be a socialist. To advance in the federal government, you have to be a Democrat. If I had become a Democrat, even though I was not a minority, female, or veteran, the Democrats who ran the federal government would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 because I earned three job-related masters degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that you reject, the more RINO that you are. RINOs have far more in common with Democrats and with Libertarians than with Republicans, and especially RINOs who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, poor, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Most commonly, RINOs reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. RINOs want the Republican Party to be the Democrat Lite Party. Far too many RINOs are really Democrat plants. – Dave Diersen

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. How strongly do the Republican candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot in your precinct promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform? RINO and Democrat plant leaders want Republican candidates to downplay, if not ignore, if not work against the aforesaid planks. RINO and Democrat plant leaders want the Republican Party to be the Democrat Lite Party. The Whig Party collapsed in the mid-1850s because it failed/refused to oppose slavery. – Dave Diersen
