To the editor:

That was the battle cry of the Democrats whenever a non-Democrat was “allegedly” accused of a misspeak, misstep or impropriety not so long ago. That’s all it took to cause a person accused of anti-Democrat policy to be removed from a committee, censured and/or be forced to resign from office. Those found guilty of committing some impropriety was justified, however, many innocent people were forced out due to the political pressure applied by Democrats and their accomplices in the media.

However, when President Trump calls the Minnesota governor a “retard” the Democrats and fake media go bonkers. There was little or no outcry coming from them when Democrats called President Trump and Republicans “Nazi, fascist, dictator, and worse”. Even more astounding are radicals, including many elected Democrat officials, staging protests (many violent and destructive) in the streets of our cities against law enforcement officers carrying out their duty to remove the criminal illegals in our country. By the way, crossing our border illegally is a criminal act.

This begs the question: “Why are Democrats and like minded radicals defending the illegal criminals over and instead of the legal citizens of our nation?”

Tens of millions of illegals were allowed to cross our border by the previous Democrat administration. They were criminals, rapists, murderers, drug dealers, gangs, mentally ill, etc. and are committing criminal acts against innocent legal citizens here as they did in their own country, yet the radical factions in our society continue to defend them.

There is a peaceful solution. It requires some time and effort on your part. Get involved, become active in your local political BPOU (Basic Political Organizational Unit). Provide some of your time and effort to help in fundraising, parades and other functions locally. Help in the promotion of candidates to elected offices that will represent the principles and values that our nation was founded on.

Change will not come about because we wish it to happen. Change can happen only if we the people get involved to make that happen.
