Recalling Democrat Promises

I recall when Democrats promised they were only trying to help the poor with government programs, that they weren’t pushing communism.

I recall Democrats promising they too wanted immigration reform, that they stood against massive importations of criminals and terrorists, right before they stood in favor of open borders followed by their attacks on ICE and border patrol agents.

I remember when Democrats promised they only wanted very few, safe abortions, only in the first trimester. I recall Democrats saying there were against public funding of abortion.

I can bring to mind a time when Democrats promised they only wanted to control bad guys with guns, that they had no intention of suspending the 2nd Amendment to confiscate our guns.

I also remember Democrats saying they were genuinely interested in ending racism, and then, they started race wars across the country.

I remember Obama promising he only wanted to help us get insurance, that he was not pushing socialized medicine.

I recall Obama and the rest saying they opposed sex marriage, just before they started promoting it and funding it and praising it.

I also remember Democrats promising to support religious liberty, just before they started attacking it.

I can even recall when Democrats promised to work with Republicans to solve the debt and deficit problems which are crushing us.

I remember Democrats promising they were in favor of traditional values, patriotism, the U.S. Constitution and liberty and justice for all.

Oh well.

What will Democrats promise next?!
