Reply to J.M.’s The buzzword and the rabbit hole

Dear Editor,

I am surprised, Ms. J.M., you mention former President George W. Bush as an example to criticize former President Trump’s inaugural speech in January 2017. George W. was not intelligent enough for the job in the first place so he picked Dick Cheney as his Vice President to advise him. Anyone who puts our armed forces in harm’s way with faulty intelligence and invade two countries for revenge is not qualified to be President.

Once it was determined Osama Bin Ladin was the master mind of the September 11, 2001 attacks, our U.S. Special Forces could have been deployed to search for for him and bring him to justice or eliminate him and his cohorts. There is a difference between hate speech and telling people the hard truth. I guess you are trying to say that former President Trump’s rallies are putting citizens in danger with his presence in their town?

Or are you saying he doesn’t have a right to express his views and his vision for America? Remember the 1st Amendment, Ms. J.M., or does that apply only to Kamala Harris? Climate change, Ms. J.M., has been going on since our Earth was created and will continue to do so. The United States should not and cannot shoulder the burden of the radical climate agenda!

The cages you mention to temporarily hold illegal immigrant children were created by the Obama Administration as so many children without parents were somehow crossing the border? As for books being censored for children, I ask you this: Would you want your children, as they were growing up, to read books like “Gender Queer” or books on homosexuals, Transvestites, or “drag queens”? This whole lie of Donald Trump overturning Roe Vs Wade when it was the United States Supreme Court that overturned their 1973 decision to give the power back to the states to decide. If you watched the debate between Harris and Trump, he made his personal stance on abortion clear.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake finally got the chance to clarify her stance on abortion in the debate against Democrat Ruben Gallego. She also mentioned adoption as an option to abortion. No candidate is saying a Woman should bare a rapist’s child. Gun laws, Ms. J.M., are not loose but criminals are because of liberal Judges and District Attorneys. School Districts should be making schools safer from intruders plus insisting Police presence on every campus.

Law abiding citizens have every right to defend themselves, their families, and others around them! Instead of more gun control how about criminal control? Wait a minute, seems to me all the phony charges brought against former President Trump are an example of attempted false imprisonment of a rival of the Democratic Party. For those of us that love our Constitutional Republic and want to enjoy our God given freedoms the choice is clear. For people of your mindset, Ms. J.M., that live in some Marxist Utopian fantasy I only hope you will some day see the light!
