The Written Word of Democratic Socialists of America - Ep. 942 - July 13, 2026

The Democratic Socialists of America have put their agenda in writing, and the proposals raise serious questions about America's constitutional system, elections, military policy, immigration, and religious freedom. On Episode 942 of The Smith and Rowland Show, the discussion examines claims that the DSA has grown into a significant political force, with candidates winning Democratic primaries across the country. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland address proposals to abolish the U.S. Senate, reduce the role of the Electoral College, place Congress in control of the executive and judicial branches, shorten the workweek, reduce military spending, and expand government-funded programs. The conversation also focuses on why the founders created separate branches of government, how the Senate protects state representation, and what could happen if majority rule replaces constitutional checks and balances. The hosts discuss the risks of concentrated political power, the role of America's military as a deterrent, and the effect of reduced Christian participation in elections and public debate. They also examine the influence of college campuses, the silence of many church pulpits, the relationship between socialism and replacement theology, and the controversy surrounding the Democratic Socialists of America's position on Israel. Watch the full episode for a direct conversation about the DSA platform, constitutional government, individual rights, national defense, and the responsibility of Christians to understand the issues and participate in the civic life of the country.
