Conservatives won’t accept socialism

To the Editor:

He, or they, all seem to be confused about facts, or what they believe to be true. They get their information from ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, The New York Times and the Washington Post. All are liberal, biased and should be taken with a grain of salt. Meaning there are some truths, and some twisted facts.

Almost all of these contributors believe that Joe Biden is the savior of the country. A senile puppet, a hair sniffer, a has been — or never was — career politician who never accomplished anything except to make himself and his family rich off the American people. Harry Truman said that the only way for a politician to get rich was to be a crook. Biden has become rich off his political jobs. Donald Trump was already rich and took nothing from the taxpayers. 

Some contributors have complained about Trump playing golf, yet give Taliban Joe a free pass as they did Obama. No President worked as hard as Trump did.

Many support Burn Loot Murder and condone their riots of last summer, all because the media blew out of proportion the death of a habitual criminal, George Floyd. For heaven’s sake, he was a career criminal. Couldn’t people find a better person to memorialize? Monuments were taken down and destroyed by thugs who were too dumb to know what they represent. Are they any better off now? I doubt it.

And now we have a President, if you want to call him that, who was installed in office with questionable votes. He or his puppeteers are hellbent on transforming this country into a third world socialist society. 

Let’s see, what has he done in the nine months he has been in office? He killed jobs by canceling the Keystone pipeline. Fuel costs have nearly doubled, he has alienated close allies, inflation is soaring, the Afghanistan fiasco has cost many American lives, he has allowed illegals into the country, many with Covid. They have spread it into mostly Red states. 

The border has been opened to everyone. None are vetted, but they are sent all over the country. How long before another Muslim attack on us infidels? That is inevitable. The FBI is in shambles due to Democratic bumbling. Where have all the Haitians gone? Let me guess.

Biden has appointed some real winners to his cabinet. A use-to-be man, a man with a husband, a general who has bungled the Afghanistan withdrawal, former Obama losers and let’s not forget his VP. Not even the Dems wanted her. Not to mention his addict son who has made millions off his political life. He only answers scripted questions at press conferences. His minions whisk him away before he makes another blunder. What a man!!

I see the country more divided than any time in my 75 years. Either both sides give a little or the country will self-destruct. We conservatives will not accept socialism.
