Shocked
Dear Editor,
Wow, I’m shocked. For the first time my grandpa voted Democrat!
He never would have done that when he was alive.
A lot of truth in this.

Democrats Support Crime
Dear Editor,
Democrats hate laws and encourage people to break laws. They believe it’s good that citizens of foreign countries break our immigration laws by illegally crossing our boarders. This year, more than 2 million illegal aliens will break our immigration laws. They will be welcomed in sanctuary cities where they will receive food, housing, medical care and their children will be enrolled in schools. All at taxpayer expense!
This fact begs the question: What other laws do liberal Democrats encourage people to break? Let’s start with murder, rioting, rape and assault. What did liberal Democrats say when cities across America were burned? BLM and other rioters destroyed businesses and burned down police stations and federal courthouses. Kamala Harris forcefully spoke in favor of no cash bail and raised money to help bail out rioters from jail. She and other liberal democrats called cops pigs, Nazi’s and the Gestapo and encouraged efforts to defund the police while being protected by their own security forces, often at taxpayer expense.
Democrats also encourage murder. Storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 should not have happened. However, the only person who died was an unarmed woman. The police officer who murdered her was not charged with any crime. The FBI may have also been part of the crowd but is unwilling to answer any questions during congressional hearings. What are they hiding?
When liberal democrat and George Soros backed judges and district attorneys got rid of cash bail, crime skyrocketed across the country. Duh! Why would criminals worry about facing punishment when they know they will be back on the street before the ink dries on their arrest paperwork?
Woke and liberal Democrat mayors approved all of this so cops quit in droves because they got zero support from their governments and they were targets of criminals who decided it was okay to kill cops.
If you want to live without fear, have safe streets, your taxes used to improve schools without woke, CRT or all the transgender crap, vote for Republicancs. If not, things will only get worse and it will be your fault.

They’re Laughing At Us
Dear Editor,
With absolute power comes absolute arrogance (and corruption). As the left controls the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the mass media, the social media, the judiciary, the education establishment, and the permanent state or deep state, so their arrogance grows. And so does their contempt for us.
They’re laughing at us. They ram through a bill that will spend billions of dollars of money that doesn’t exist. They will borrow it from China and let our children pick up the tab. This is the American Rescue Plan Act 2.0 – which has caused the inflation we now endure. And what do they call this bill? “The Inflation Reduction Act.” They’re laughing at us.
They announce that they have “negotiated” a plea deal with the architects of the attacks of 9/11/2021, as if these mass murderers were mere shoplifters looking for a break. And on what day do they announce this? On 9/11. They’re mocking us, and our patriotism.
In a nationally broadcast television interview with NBC, Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly asserts that “the border is secure” – and manages to keep a straight face. Even the leftist journalist (Chuck Todd) counters that two million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border this year alone. She just repeats the lie. They have that much contempt for us. They really believe that we are stupid sheep. They’re laughing at us.
And why not? Half the population buys their BS, and attacks those of us who dare speak truth.
The conceit of the left is as clear as day to all who dare to think for themselves. Their hubris will only be checked by a massive reaction against them in November.
These smug socialists must be stopped.
Austin Morris
Putting aside of all Ken’s silly rants about democrats that are just hateful gibberish, until congress gets off it’s tail and changes the law, it is legal to declare asylum in the US even when caught crossing illegally. Some less informed will tell you that people are required to declare asylum at the first boarder they cross. This is a myth and common misinformation used to frame asylum candidates as illegals. Congress needs to update the laws and close this loophole. Until then, they are legal.
Most asylum claims are baseless and absurd on their face. The millions risking their lives to get into countries like the US & the UK have passed through several safe haven countries. How can the illegal immigrants landing on Kent’s coast pretend that they were in fear of their lives because of murderous persecution – in France?
I don’t disagree. Per Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio c “only about half of them even show up for their court cases” and “only 15% of them qualify” for asylum. Congress needs to streamline this process and reduce the rate allowed entry due to asylum claims. This has been an issue throughout but Republican’s and Democrat ‘s administrations.
Yes, illegal immigration is an ongoing problem for white Western countries, and particularly the UK & US. For all the Left’s claims of how we are institutionally racist, bigoted, and full of “hate”, when brown & black people emigrate they invariably choose our countries. That’s how they “vote with their feet”, and it lays bare one of the Left’s lies.
In America’s case the problem can be minimized by simply building a wall – which is what Trump tried to do.
You mean the wall the blew over in the wind? The wall that illegals where able to scale over first try? Not to mention the tunnels used by gangs to smuggle people and drugs. THE WALL was and always will be a false solution use to symbolize racist views against immigrants of color.
Not sure about your comment of where people choose to immigrate? My team members from India many are working to come over to the US. Heck you came here for what ever reason.
Racism is in the eye of the beholder, and Leftists see it everywhere because they are projecting.
Don’t bother smearing me with it – my best friend has much darker skin than most African-Americans. He’s from Colombo, Sri Lanka.
History here in NC shows that it is more likely that it is a republican who is caught cheating at election polls. But good on your dead grandpa.
Chris the fact that you say “good on your dead grandpa” proves just how bad of a problem exists. It is never okay to generate votes for any party. Look at Michigan for an example. Jocelyn Benson is refusing to clean up the voter roll that contains almost 26,000 dead voters, and does not want to allow records to be reviewed. Transparency is a must. Why is it wrong if a republican “is caught cheating” in your words, but if a democrat is caught its alright?? It’s never okay on any level and our votes should be protected regardless of how we vote. It’s time to lay hate aside and fight for our country and our rights, not a party before it’s too late.
Ken is clearly insinuating that voting fraud is an issue democrats (likely based on the Trump Big Lie). So far since 2019, the only elections influenced by fraud is a case in 2019 where the elections had to be re-held due fraud was the result of a republican’s actions. That was easily caught by the statistical analysis conducted as part of all election results.
(see the link I left under Alan Marshalls worthless comment)
Chris (who falsifies evidence) has a very tenuous grasp on reality. He claims that Republicans are caught cheating in elections more than Democrats. Yeah right. Is that why NC was part of “The Solid South” for well over a century? The GOP had zero power until the 21st Century, when our electorate finally realised that The War for Southern Independence was history, and that the Republican Party more accurately represented their beliefs.
Leftists basically have a reality perception problem, and this guy is no exception.
Really? Please site your source with details. And when you do please do a comparison between D’s and R’s’
Oh, I forgot, I’M the one that makes stuff up.

Biggest example for you to chew on.
Also reference: https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud-print/search
You have to manually look into each case to see if the party affiliation is known.
If people don’t exercise their right to vote, it will just get worse. Either an Autocracy, Anarchy, or Civil War will be the result.
Maybe Texas will leave the Union. Hold on to that dream.
Good letters, all 3.
Yet Ken, it screws with my head to read “liberal Democrats.” They are neither liberal (implying valuing freedom and tolerance) nor democratic (they are as authoritarian as they can get away with). Nor are they “progressive”, wanting to regress the US back to a collectivism that will devolve into feudalism. What to call these people? Wokist Authoritarians? Crypto Communists? I dunno, but they sure shouldn’t be allowed the lie of calling themselves liberal, democratic, or progressive.
Yes, HG. All Leftists are closet fascists.
Funny. I am not aware of the Leftist party. We have Republicans, Democrats, Green Party…nope. No leftist party.
Seriously, BOTH parties have extremes that can very easily be argued as having traits of fascists (I recently illustrated how Trumpers cross into this territory) but I have yet to a true fascists get more than a small following on remote web forums. Although they are getting out and around more often these days….see QAnon nutters.
“Extremism in the defence of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue”.
– – – –
Look it up.
First, Ed thank you so much for the laugh this morning. I must say a smile came across my face when I read about your grandpa. I wonder if his vote will change in November?
Second, Ken I agree. Further evidence of how this administration wants things done comes from the rhetoric that is pushed against its own citizens. I have been referred to as a “clinger”, a “deplorable”, a “threat to democracy” and an “extremist” all senselessly based upon whom I choose to support. Last time I checked this is my right to do so; however, the current administration wants to publicly shame me and tell others to do the same. This is just reprehensible to me.
Lastly, Austin I do believe this mindset is being pushed from the very top. It appears as though the leaders do not want people to be diligent in checking up on what the government is doing. They would prefer that the media tell people what to think, all while they control the verbiage. Sadly I see the younger generation is incapable of thinking for themselves. I believe the downfall of our country is a real threat. Regardless of the party one chooses to support just look around. Prices are spiraling out of control and yet the current administration keeps saying we are fine and not in a recession. I don’t need social media or tv to tell me anything concerning that because my wallet and common sense speak for themselves. But this hasn’t stopped our leaders from doing things that continue to hurt the population. My father used to say that the country was headed for a civil war again and I thought no way. Sadly I was mistaken because I see the division being pushed. We are told it’s not okay to support who we choose and that if we don’t agree with the current narrative that we are a danger and threat. Hence the arrogance and authoritarian attitude you mentioned. If the people can be divided then government can step in and be the “solution”, but in reality they’ll be the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Again I don’t care which party you want to support (cough cough we all know who I’m referring to) the bottom line is this: we need to unite as a people and not let them try to control every aspect of our lives. We do have freedoms and rights and they are under fire right now. Stand strong and be diligent, and vote wisely. Ignore the media, big tech, and social media. Do not Google anything but use unbiased sources and come up with your own opinion not one that is given to you. Long live common sense and a pride in the USA!!
You’re right. I didn’t go through the US education system, but to judge by the ignorance and shallowness of the students it produces, I’m very grateful I was educated elsewhere.
It seems to me that American children are told what to think, not how to think.
It used to be called indoctrination.
What an ignorant pile of nonsense. I know few are reading the comments here now but you HAVE been clearly impacted by the alt right messaging machine as you hit many of their alarmist talking points.
Only one I will speak to is the young people comment. You would be surprised by how clearly the younger generation see the world because they stay out of the political bs you and muddle around in on a daily basis. They don’t look to older generations for guidance as they have lost faith in older generations just by seeing where we are today with massive national debt, climate change unaddressed, increased barriers to gaining real wealth, declining quality of education, etc…
They see all these failings of the older generation and know they are full of BS. You and me included.
The real shallowness they see is the older generation putting party politics before addressing and actually solving the massive problems we face. Just look at the last two old farts elected and failed or failing in the White House from the last two elections.
President Biden : 79 years old
Speaker Pelosi : 82 years old
Sen. Maj. Leader Schumer : almost 72 years old.
We are indeed suffering under a gerontocracy, but it’s not their senescence that’s the problem, it’s their politics. Reagan was 77 when he left office and America was doing great in 1989. He left America safe, strong, and stable. And happy.
People are allowed to claim asylum when they cross. But please show me where it says they are allowed to be released into the country without some manner of tracking their whereabouts.
But what needs to be looked at is what’s NOT being caught. The drug lords are using the distraction of the illegal border crossovers, and they ARE illegal crossings no matter what is said, to distract resources we could be using to interdict their real money making operations, that being the drug smuggling operations killing Americans every day.
Rather then giving these people free access to our country once they are here, how about using some of these military installations they’ve closed to hold them until they can be properly vetted. These installations have barracks, mess halls, clinics, and everything else that would be needed to provide humane conditions. Put fences, very TALL fences around them. If you’re caught trying to leave, out you go and you are returned to your country of origin.
But that would take someone who really cares about this great country, which we don’t have.
They are tracked until they miss enough court dates and allow their asylum status to expire. Then they are illegal. That is what I assume happens and needs a solution. Locking them up in cages is not the answer.
