Nailing Letters to the Door: Why I’m Calling Minnesota Republicans Back to True Liberty
Minnesotans, gather ‘round—it’s time for some straight talk from the campaign trail, where the rubber meets the frozen road. I’ve been out there, boots on the ground, ears open, listening to farmers in the fields, teachers in the towns, vets at the VFW, and everyday folks who just want to live free under God without some syndicate breathing down their necks. What I’ve heard loud and clear: most Minnesotans share the same core hunger—for liberty straight from the Creator, not handouts from grifters; for a government that serves, not lords; for a system where your voice isn’t drowned out by parasites.
But here’s the gut punch: too many well-intended Republicans—good-hearted folks who genuinely believe in the values of our constitutional republic—keep getting it wrong. They’ve been played by the same rigged game I laid bare in my piece on why the ill-intended keep hijacking our elections: that tiny knot of 250 insiders rigging endorsements, poisoning communication, and propping up puppets while the majority of us get screwed. They’ve bought into the label game, demanding everyone slap on the “Republican” sticker or get frozen out, while dismissing voices that don’t fit the mold.
And that brings me to something deeper, something rooted in my own walk as a man of faith working for the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The word “Catholic” comes from the Greek katholikos—meaning “universal,” “according to the whole,” “throughout the whole.” It’s not about one narrow club; it’s about the faith embracing all who seek Christ, many expressions of the same truth, one Body under one Savior. Different accents, different paths to the same altar, but united in the essentials.
Think back to Martin Luther in 1517. He nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg—not to shatter Christ’s Church, but to call it back to purity. He wasn’t trying to leave; he was warning the misguided and the ill-intended that they’d strayed from the teachings of Christ. The bad actors and gatekeepers of the day cast him out, branded him a heretic. But history shows the truth: Luther didn’t abandon the universal faith—the misguided and corrupt had drifted from it.
That’s exactly where I stand today. I’m a Republican because we are a constitutional republic—freedoms flow from God, not man or institutions. The Magna Carta in 1215 was the first bold reflection of that spirit: a charter forcing a king to recognize limits, that rights aren’t granted by rulers but are inherent, God-given, protected by law above any crown. Our Founders built on that rock—life, liberty, pursuit of happiness endowed by the Creator.
I’ve nailed my own letters to the door: my rejection of the MNGOP’s coercive ultimatum, my exposures of the rigged endorsements and fraud empires, my calls to torch the farce. The misguided and ill-intended cast me out, smeared me, cut off data access. But a change is stirring. A new appetite for truth is rising across Minnesota.
If Republicans who truly hold to genuine republican values—God-given liberties, no collectivism, no top-down “fixing” of people—want to win more hearts and correct course, stop the labeling obsession. Stop demanding blind loyalty to a broken brand. Listen first. Discern intent before dismissing.
On the trail, in my team, in the Parrish for Governor intelligence cell, I’ve met warriors who get disparaged at first glance because they don’t look or sound like the old guard’s idea of “Republican.” Some don’t even use the label. But they live the values: faith in Christ, love of neighbor, hatred of fraud, defense of the vulnerable. Like the most faithful Christ-like people I’ve known for decades—some never call themselves “Christians” out loud, yet their lives scream it. Same in politics since I first jumped in back in 1982: the truest defenders of our constitutional republic often shun the “Republican” tag, but they believe fiercely in America, in liberty from God, in being left the hell alone to build, farm, raise kids, and fight the good fight.
Hosts of Minnesota—remember the war I described in “Hosts and Parasites”? We’re the doers, the givers, outnumbered but outgunning the bloodsuckers if we connect. The parasites thrive when we divide over labels. The DFL syndicate, the nonprofit leeches, the election riggers—they want us fractured.
To the well-intended Republicans: Open the door when someone nails a warning letter. If they come with the same hunger for liberty, the same disdain for grift, even if their customs at the table look different—welcome them as hosts with common virtues. Don’t turn them away. Teach the misguided to listen before judging. Rise up, speak truth, and watch the majority join a righteous cause.
We’re not leaving the republic—we’re calling it back. Guided by faith in Christ, with no mercy for the thieves.
