Dear Editor,
In response to the guest editorial titled “Vt. Republicans face a choice,” the author implies being a Republican is amusing. He goes on about previous Republicans and the past. Reality check: it’s a new world. People talk about the “far right,” you know those that don’t think it’s OK for children to be changing their gender (as if that was even possible) and those who think the border should actually restrict entry unless vetted and approved.
Donald Trump has been called a liar by the left. He likes to exaggerate, everyone knows that. Most of his “lies” are exaggerations but are in the same direction of the truth. For example, “the biggest crowd ever.” Now maybe not, but a big crowd none the less. How much does it matter for anyone’s life? Not at all.
Now, let’s talk about the lies (told by HRC, Pelosi, Adam Schiff and many others-penalty, treason and potentially death) told about Donald Trump; he colluded with Russia. For two years. Politicians, mainstream news outlets, pundits, et al all said this with unwavering conviction so much so that a federal investigation was put forth to find out costing $30 million. The result was they found nothing damning. This is a fact. Was there any apology? Was there any acknowledgement even? No nothing. Oh, never mind, let’s go on to the next thing.
The author goes on to talk about “immobilization of the house.” These are the dems who threaten to shut down government if they don’t get their way, and then blame the Republicans for it. Each bill should be specific regarding one thing and have an up or down vote on it. This would go a long way in eliminating pork, but I digress. I’m also a bit curious how the author defines nihilistic anti-government conservatism. Here’s a thought for you; the more government you have the less freedom you get. I’m going to need a reference on that supposed quote from Steve Bannon, too, by the way.
Kamala … listen to her speak extemporaneously. I can’t believe she is the candidate. The left wing media is totally corrupt. They are propping her up. Fox doesn’t like Trump either so don’t bother going there. When Trump was shot, the initial headlines were Trump goes down at rally. They knew what happened.
Like him or hate him, when Trump says what he wants to do, you know it’s true. We have heard zero from Kamala on what her policies would be except no tax on tips, which is what Trump had said first.
The left, the deep state, the media and the elite have done everything to try to stop Trump including brainwashing the weak minded into believing they are going to do the right thing. The left and the elite want control over you and your lives, more of your money and not let you say anything that threatens them.
Freedom is not guaranteed. If you like to live in freedom, you have to do something to keep it. It’s not automatic. If it goes down here, the whole world is done. The UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Europe all of it. And it won’t come back. Vermonters, be careful what you wish for. You may just get it good and hard.
The author wants to compare today’s Trump movement with McCarthyism. I would suggest the left is far more in line with it. Google, YouTube, Instagram, Apple, Microsoft censor content they don’t like. That is McCarthyism. The left wants to ban anything it deems “hate speech.” Who defines that? That is exactly the speech that needs to be free. The cure to that is more speech not less.
If Trump loses and the left gets control of government, you can expect a weak economy, never ending wars, rampant inflation and gas prices, restrictions on what you can eat, drive, say and do. Because it’s all for your own good. Trump is bold and brash, but ask yourself, what does he have to gain by being president? He’s already rich and can live his live out in luxury. Ask yourself what does the other side have to gain. It’s scary to consider. Many won’t.
