Letters to the Editor

Democrat policies are geared towards weakening and destroying this country. The democrats and the RINOs who support them must be held accountable. They attack small businesses and those who desire to work and make something for themselves and their loved ones. They do this by injecting an overwhelming burden of government red tape and mandates which reach into every personal business decision. They demand that business owners cast their belief systems aside and embrace despicable practices by those they are forced to employ or serve. They create large groups of people who are government dependent through welfare or other government handouts. They engage in propaganda campaigns geared towards creating a victim mentality. They support causes like defunding the police while encouraging criminal behavior by mitigating any punishment associated with the crime of a perpetrator. The law enforcement personnel who actually fight crime and place themselves between evil people and their victims as well as citizens who fight back against crime are simultaneously put through the wringer in the ‘criminal justice’ system and face charges and penalties much higher than the career thug faces.

In government schools they push the propaganda of confusion in our young people and especially the very young, even at the kindergarten level. Gender confusion, sexual orientation confusion, the teaching of critical race theory which says all white people are genetically racist and must continually apologize for their existence. The re-writing of history to portray the United States as a thieving, lazy, and gluttonous society from European decent that was created on the backs of the virtuous and humble of all other races. They teach that a common American heritage built on freedom and individual responsibility that anyone willing to come here and adopt is nonexistent, either now or in the past.

They have shut down our energy independence through their attacks on domestic oil, gas, and coal while making deals with corrupt nations like Russia, Venezuela, and Muslim countries in the Middle East to import their oil and gas. One of Biden’s first official decisions in office was to cancel the Keystone pipeline. They prohibit drilling on federally controlled land and deny the applications for exploration. Since the democrats have been in control, we have gone from energy independence and exporting oil and gas to having to beg countries, not friendly to us, for their oil and gas imports.

In return they tout ‘green’ energy such as solar and wind. On a commercial basis, neither solar or wind devices can create enough energy to replace the energy it took to manufacture or maintain them. Tax payer funded subsidies along with oil, gas, and coal used in the manufacture process are required for their existence. In addition, many of the key materials needed for manufacture are mined from open pits and largely imported from other countries. That is correct MINED. Gas, coal, and oil are still used almost exclusively to power the generating stations required for recharging the batteries found in electric vehicles. The green energy idea has only weakened our economy and our nation as a whole. If someone develops an alternative energy that is proven to be equal or superior to what we have now, as well as being cost effective, the American people will have no problem getting on board. If this is to be it should happen without government intrusion into ‘picking the winner’.

What about the disaster in Afghanistan that came from the chaotic pullout by the democrats? Billions of dollars of state of the art weapons and war equipment left in the hands of our enemies; the killing at the hands of our enemies of 13 US service members placed in an untenable situation while evacuating; the abandonment of our allies and those who worked alongside US forces who are still being hunted down and murdered by the Taliban; the worldwide loss of faith in this country by anyone who would have considered helping us in war; the damage in morale of our Armed Forces to see our longest war end in such cowardly chaos perpetrated by the democrats.

On the world stage, because of the corrupt and weak democrats in power, we could be witnessing the opening salvo of World War 3. The smell of weakness and the ability of this administration to be bought has emboldened enemies like Russia as we are witnessing in the Ukraine. We have yet to see what the Communist Chinese will do against our ally Taiwan. Biden and his family have always been corrupt but that coupled with his lack of cognitive abilities have put our country in extreme danger.

Since the democrats took control, the southern border of the United States is completely open with 100s of thousands of illegal aliens entering the country unchecked by the federal government. The border wall has been defunded and agencies such as the Border Patrol are now tasked with welcoming the unvetted law breakers and providing them with transportation to interior parts of the United States to be released in unsuspecting communities. These illegal alien law breakers from all parts of the world are provided with housing and sustenance at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. The crime and disease they bring into our communities is a natural product of the process. If you are in opposition to this or any other democrat policy, they un-hesitantly label you as a racist. If you speak of the constitution and our rule of law forbidding these actions you become a radical, anti-government, right winger.

The out-of-control inflation and costs of all goods makes our money worth less every day, the near unaffordable price of gas at the pump, the non-availability of many dry goods and food items, over-taxation on income, business, and property; all democrat created and promoted.

The democrats are responsible for the draconian COVID19 shutdowns we have had to endure for the last two years. The manmade virus from China and its worldwide ill effects, up to and including death, with no one held accountable. The jobs and small businesses which have forever disappeared because of the ineffective lockdowns. The damage of these mask mandates to our children and the multiple vaccination requirements which have both proven completely ineffective. The entire episode has been predicated entirely on controlling people and training them to do without freedoms.

Why are we not even allowed to question China’s integrity? It is because of the large number of politicians in China’s pocket, such as the corrupt Biden family but we can’t forget this lineage started with the corrupt Clintons and their payoffs from the Communist Chinese in the 90s. How many remember the many executive orders under Clinton removing classified items from the Department of Defense and moved to the Department of Commerce so they could be sold to the Chinese government? China couldn’t even get a satellite in orbit before then, now they threaten us with reaching our shores with nuclear warheads.

Only the delusional would argue that our country is headed in the right direction. If we could somehow immediately halt all of these destructive democrat policies, we will still have the long, painful, and arduous burden of repairing the extensive damage done. The longer they remain in power, the further we will be from being able to rescue what was once a great nation and the opportunities it has provided for its people. Get educated and get involved. This great Republic has been ours to keep or to lose. How sad that something as simple as national apathy and cowardice could cause our demise.
