Thoughts on the Democrats
To the Editor:
In Response to: “Thoughts on GOP” Michael Thompson 5/12/26 Flipping his opening sentence, I’ll go with this: For those of you out there who still believe that the Democrat party is still what it used to be, it’s NOT.
Today’s Democrats:
• tell us to “follow the science” but don’t know what a woman is, including a DEI hire SCOTUS justice
• tell us to “follow the science” but believe that men can become women and vice versa when, in actuality, I believe that it is a mental illness
• love open borders and giving my money to illegal aliens
• claim to be a “big tent” party, squawk about “inclusivity” but ostracize you if you aren’t in lockstep with their progressive agenda
• want to abolish law enforcement and arrest ICE agents
• think elementary age kids should be exposed to pornographic books in school and that drag queen shows are appropriate
• refuse to stand for US citizens over illegal aliens at the SOTU
• refuse to stand for a sobbing mother of a slain Ukrainian refugee at the same SOTU
• think minors should have access to genital mutilation as “gender affirming care”
• support a Nazi from Maine for the US Senate
• support a Socialist mayor of Seattle who has now run a lefty favorite, Starbucks, to Nashville and who also waved “bye” to millionaires who left her state
• elected a Communist for mayor in the largest city in America who wants to abolish private property
• riot and loot, especially for the fentanyl addled St. George Floyd
• support killing infants in the womb
• support Islamists but denigrate Bible believing Christians
• elected and supported a dementia-ridden man for President which reminds one of “Weekend at Bernie’s and they supported his equally inept Vice President
• want me to pay for other people’s student loans
• are on the wrong side of most 80-20 issues
• are on the wrong side of nuclear and always available energy (let one of them take the first transcontinental air flight. I’m sure the batteries would weigh more than the plane)
• call for the assassination of our current POTUS
• protest with a theme of “No Kings” but dictated totally repressive, anti-freedom mandates during COVID
• talk about dictators and “No Kings” but bypassed traditional primary protocol and anointed Kamala Harris
• promote equity over meritocracy Former President John Kennedy would not be welcomed into today’s crazy Democrat party. I would welcome John Kennedy into today’s Democrat party. I could vote for Kennedy today because he espoused classic liberalism- Individualism & Autonomy; Limited Government; Free-Market Economics; Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law. Today’s Democrats are not “liberals.” They are leftists.
By the way Michael, the preponderance of mainstream media is left-leaning and is funded by leftists like George Soros. Imagine that- Conservative Republican donors support conservative, sane values. Democrat donors along with their Socialist / Marxist / Communist arm, fund off-the-wall crazy woke values. Also, FYI- the ballroom is not using your tax dollars so your claim is irrelevant.
I’ll go with common sense vs. nuttiness.
