Letter: Republicans held accountable, Democrats not

Will Democrats ever get over President Trump’s 2016 presidential victory? Leftists have been calling for his impeachment since before he was even sworn in as president. The letter writer who contends that Robert Mueller is doing a “very good job” of his excessively long investigation pointed out that many indictments have resulted from the probe. It should be noted that out of 23 indictments, only three of those were part of the Trump campaign and one a part of the Trump administration. Two of the individuals indicted were charged with lying to the FBI, and the charges against the other two were unrelated to any work done for or about President Trump. There is no excuse for their actions, and they should not be tolerated. However, it does bring up some noticeable differences between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans are held accountable, and Democrats are not. Remember Benghazi and Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama? People died, and they lied. Remember “Fast and Furious” and President Obama/Attorney General Eric Holder? Someone died, and they lied. And isn’t it ironic that dishonest and biased FBI agents and officials have been investigating President Trump for possible wrongdoing? Justice or injustice?

Democrats/leftists are scary. Mr. Logan is obviously concerned about the Mueller indictments. So am I, but there are bigger consequential happenings that concern me more. In 2008 candidate Obama campaigned on “fundamentally transforming America.” Sadly, Americans who voted for him are getting their wish. A recent Gallup poll shows a record low number (47 percent) of Americans who are “extremely proud” to be American. Even going back as far as 2013, polls show Democrats with the least pride and Republicans with the most pride in being American. Democrats see the USA as heartless, aggressive, egotistical and racist. I find it disturbing that people who hate our country so much are holding elective office. Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters said that Trump cabinet members are ”not welcome anymore, anywhere.” Yet, illegal aliens are always welcome. Democrat governors, mayors, senators and congressmen defend sanctuary cities, putting the needs and security of illegal immigrants before the rights and protection of U.S. citizens. For eight years, this policy had the support of President Obama and his two attorneys general, Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch. Now liberals want to abolish I.C.E. Alarming. President Trump and Attorney General Sessions believe in enforcing existing laws and putting the welfare of American citizens first.

Liberals do not just try to shut down the message. They shut down the messengers — by taking away their livelihoods, prohibiting conservative speakers on college campuses, limiting conservative professors at universities, disrupting conservative events or committing violence. Leftists, including profanity-spewing Hollywood celebrities, compare the Trump administration to Nazis. Yet, these clueless people are taking down historical statues of prominent Americans who were a significant part of our history. Removing historical statues of people you don’t agree with is most definitely Nazi-like. Nazis burned books that did not conform to their ideology. Either way, you are erasing history, and that is dangerous — fundamentally transforming America.
