We Agree On Nothing
Dear Editor,
I agree with one main tenant of the leftist Democrat platform. That is, we agree about nothing.
The country is completely divided philosophically and politically.
I’m going about my business and simply ignoring the Black Lives Matter (a corrupt and rotten organization) signs that signal pseudo virtue. At best, they are a sophomoric theme. We will not allow the mad Marxist ravings of the teachers’ unions poison our children any longer. There are biological men and biological woman. Period. If the NCAA wants to force North Carolina to have unisex bathrooms in the name of transgender rights, I will fight to keep the NCAA out of North Carolina. The 1619 Project is a complete lie.
The placement of Joe Biden in the Oval Office was an insidious disgrace. It is obvious that he is and has been failing mentally. Our country has been placed in peril by the forces that control Joe Biden. They need to be called out and exposed. Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre are the natural outcome of a policy of race and sexual orientation-based status. They are completely incompetent and in over their heads.
The concentration of power in the government bureaucracy, Democrat Party, teachers’ unions, the press and big tech have consciously worked to squash dissent and force an insidious leftist agenda upon the citizenry. The result is a complete and utter disaster.
There is a novels’ worth of examples of the hideousness of the pompous American left’s ploy to force their agenda upon us all, but I will end my letter with this: Joe Bidens’ speech two nights ago was pure insanity and hate. The left are racoons in the corner – they are flailing and quite dangerous. No longer can we accept their behavior. They need to be removed from power and when the inevitable tantrums arise, they must be squashed. Enough is enough.
My yard sign would read, “Freedom and Responsibility”
God Bless America. Gid bless the Judeo-Christian ethic that helped create our country.

Not A Fan Of Trump Or Republicans
Dear Editor,
As election nears, I am seeing more mongering statements from Republicans/Trump supporters about how Democrats are “Destroying America.” I argue that Trump and Republicans who support him are doing more to destroy America than any Democrat. Especially sleepy Joe. The list of Trump/Republican transgressions is long, but a few highlights:
- The big lie that has moved millions of Americans to believe Democracy in US is broken. (Hint, it isn’t. There never was any mass fraud.)
- Trump openly supporting Putin over US intelligence and US interests in general
- Gave permanent large unfunded tax cuts to wealthy but only temporary small tax cuts to most of Americans
- Trump supporting the Jan. 6 insurrection that attempted to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power (the backbone of US democracy).
- Trump openly accepting support from far-right nationalist groups that propagate racist agendas
- Trump personally attacks anyone that doesn’t support his personal ideals and declare full loyalty to himself. (It really gets close a fascism to believe that membership in a party requires personal loyalty to a single person.)
Yet the Democrats platform is based on:
- Supporting health insurance for all
- Fair wages for all
- Supporting diversity and inclusion
- As Christians, they support the under privileged and not the interests of wealthy elites.
While greatly flawed, like most Democrats on economics, in no way is Biden a danger to American ideals of freedom and democracy.
I have made my case that modern Republicans are doing more to destroy American ideals numerous times here. Mostly Trump supporters just attack me personally (which I really don’t care their opinion of me) and they fail to either defend Trump’s actions or they fail to provide any real examples of how Democrats are “destroying” America.
If you are strongly conservative, great, vote Republican. We are still a free representative democracy. But stop with the hollow statements of “Democrats are evil” unless you can really make your case!
Christian C. Rice
Love the contrast of these two letters!
James, lists BLM and Teachers unions as evidence of destructive nature of democrats? BLM hasn’t been relevant since their internal corruption was exposed (before the current administration) and teachers unions protect teachers’ employment rights….not set teaching curriculum. That is handled at the state level by the State commissions.
As far as Judeo-Christian ethics…how about having the modern conservatives show compassion for the less fortunate? Versus turning a blind eye and just telling them to lift themselves up by their bootstraps.
Great example of how most modern conservatives fail to back up their contention that the Left is evil and destroying America.
And I love it when letter writers are the first to comment on their own letter.
—— What a wanker!
You prove my point well of attacking me versus the message. Even tossed in childish name calling. Classic.
Trust me, you’ve earned it.
The Democrats just can’t get past our previous president. He has been out of office for almost two years but he is still the focus of this current administration. President Biden, with Over fourty years of experience, just keeps making the totally wrong decisions on all topics. He seems to believe that he must spend the last cent in the US treasury and all the money he can borrow. He has given Greensboro so much money that the City Council can’t find any place to dispose of it in a legal way.
Vote Republican so that we can get some form of sanity back in government.
shocker no specifics.
FYI, Biden has overseen a deficit decline of $1.4 trillion — the largest one-year drop in American history.
Ha, ha, ha, ha…! Hilarious!
A year ago the Feds were spraying about money like a boatload of drunken sailors as they tried to keep the pandemic economy from collapsing. So your baseline is an unprecedented deficit spending high point. Any fool could shrink the deficit from there – and he is.
You really deal in deception and deceit, don’t you Chrissy?
“We are still a free representative democracy.”
WRONG!!!!!! But thank you for playing our game,
We are a Constitutional Republic, but nobody is surprised you’re wrong
Facts : no wars, no riots, no little man missles, no unemployment under Trump. Christians vote republican.
No unemployment now either. The BLM riots where when Trump was in office. You blame Biden for Ukrane invasion by Putin? Odd. But thanks for trying.
Biden is a Christian.
No, Biden SAYS he is a Christian, as does Nancy Pelosi (both Catholics). But they fervently support abortion. Actions speak louder than words.
THEY ARE HYPOCRITES !
This country has gone to hell in a hand basket. I can imagine how people like Jefferson, Adams, Franklin had reached a point of total disgust to take the course they took. I won’t be here to see the bottom of the pail, but this country is descending to it’s own disgusting level. I have no faith in today’s voter’s level of intelligence to correct it.
You are right. From Shurf Rogers to President Joe Biden; the people elected them. Wherever you can find fault, you can trace it to the voter.
“Free money for all”. No job? No problem.
Christian: There is not a single true statement in your rant about Trump and the Republicans. You need to get off CNN and MSNBC and do some fact checking instead of drinking the kool aid these groups hand out.
Shocker….no specifics. Just denial.
the Democrats platform is based on:
Supporting health insurance for all, SOCIALISM
Fair wages for all SOCIALISM
Supporting diversity and inclusion SOCIALISM
As Christians, they support the under privileged and not the interests of wealthy elites. AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THEIR MONEY AND POWER THEY WILL LIE TO THE PUBLIC. Jesus Said THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU, what he didn’t say was that politicians would always get wealthy while treading on the poor.
Vote red, vote often.
So health are for all bad and unfair wages good from a republican perspective. Got it.
That your stance? Hmmm.
There are so many things wrong with Chris’ letter that I don’t even know where to start. I’m sure everyone will be piling on shortly, so let me just pick one of these misconceptions.
An insurrection is the violent rebellion or as a stretch it could be the attempt to overthrow a government (although that’s more of a coup). A few thousand people taking over one government building is in no way an insurrection by any stretch of the imagination. At most, you could call it a riot or a breaking and entering. Our government was never in any danger of being overthrown due its compartmentalization, the pre-set succession should any individual be taken out, and the fact that the U.S. military was never involved or at risk of being eliminated.
And one from your Democrat side, Dems are actively anti-Christian, which is why there is no prayer in school, why “In God we trust” is continually on the chopping block, why any reference to God in any form is always on the edge of oblivion in their hands. While there should be a clear separation of church and state, the founders build America with God in mind. They wanted people to have freedom to choose their own religion, not have it imposed upon them by the government, like the Church of England. That did not mean that God was to be entirely removed from the equation, but that is what the Dems want. Oh, and 9 month abortions of fully viable children is not exactly a Christian mindset either.
Get real dude.
Definition of insurrection is “a violent uprising against an authority or government”. But how republican of you to support violence against Congress in attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
As a devote Christian myself, I strongly support the separation of Church and State as a means to avoid the zealots pushing their extreme version of their religious beliefs on others (you know like the Taliban). My kids prayed at church as their youth pastor held youth prayer at the flagpole several mornings a week. Separation of church and State doesn’t ‘cancel’ religion from any activity. It just stops it from being a hard rule for participation.
Only the most extreme (and very much NOT mainstream) would approve of abortion at 9 months. Just like only the most extreme republicans want to ban birth control. Presenting that as a mainstream view of democrat’s agenda is absurd and disingenuous. Just another example of taking an extreme perspective held by almost no one to create hollow fear mongering.
Typical. Try Again.
Nah, I’m good with my answer. Thanks.
Lol…refuted so you shut down. Typical
Not at all bro. You are either misunderstanding what I wrote or intentionally being deceitful. It appears to be both to me. Either way, we arent having a conversation, so whats the point?
I in no way implied that I supported any violent act despite you saying so. I simply said it was not an insurrection and our government was in no danger. That’s a flat out lie on your part.
I stated that I also support separation of church amd state, but libs are constantly trying to remove all reference to God and challenge anyone that wants to pray before a football game or gather to pray voluntarily at a public event. So far the courts are holding strong that those are protected acts but libs are still working to undermine those voluntary acts of faith.
As to the 9 month thing, its not as extreme as you are making it out to be if one of our very own commenters (Deborah) is for it. Even so, I just used that as an example. A baby is still a baby much earlier in the pregnancy. It is mostly formed and has a working brain and heart well before the abortion restrictions in most states kick in. So tell yourself its not alive all you want, but a funcrioning brain and heart are pretty hard to refute.
But that’s fine. You go on lying in your comments about what I said and lie to yourself that it’s fine to kill babies because they are inconvenient.
You’re right Officer Don. The M.O. of Chris is to construct straw man arguments (so he can then knock them down), deflect to “whataboutism!”, and digress to Leftist talking points.
I don’t see where Don was supporting violence. He just said it wasnt an insurrection. So was the 2020 riots that took down multiple police stations an insurrection? Those buildings represent government authority, yet I heard no one calling those acts an insurrection. Keep adjusting your definition to fit your narrative though.
By calling the Jan 6th, NOT an insurrection, given the definition of the word…”a violent uprising against an authority or government” is an endorsement of the act. There was clearly violence as people died and were injured. They were there to attempt to stop the certification of the election. Just because they failed doesn’t change it for what it was. Pathetic how republicans use this play on words to ignore the travesty of Jan 6th to democracy and accountability to those that drove the even with their unsubstantiated lies about the election.
FYI, my definition came from Websters. Never changed.
So we’re the 2020 riots that took over police stations insurrections? Yes or no.
So becsuse we disagree on what to call an event, we can’t agree that that event was violent and should not have happened?
Way to find common ground, Way to be a bridge builder like so many dems before you. Because we disagree on a word, you decide and decmare that I am pro-violence. You either live in your own fantasy world or you are ok with outright lying to make your argument. Seems familiar, Joe… I mean Chris.
For the record, neither rioting nor breaking and entering are acceptable. But this was no more an insurrection than the 2020 rioters that Timmy mentioned. Who disrupted more lives? Who injured more poeple? Who interfered with day to day government operations more and did so for the purpose of disrupting government? The 2020 rioters. That’s who, but neither group insurrected. And if we disagree on tbe application of the definition of that word, that’s fine, but I am more pro violence than you are you lying POS.
Sorry about that. My last line should have been “I am NO more pro violence than you are, you lying POS.”
My bad on the typo.
Run and hide Crissy! Don done got you again, Boi! Where you go to cry anyway?
Since the Left’s longstanding project “to fundamentally transform America” (Obama’s goal) and make it unrecognisable is proceeding swimmingly, they have very little to run on in the upcoming election. The international Left has always despised the USA, because we exemplify the success of capitalism and liberty. That is why they want to destroy America (including our own domestic Leftists).
Obama’s 3rd term is accomplishing the ruination of America very well, which means they have no achievements to celebrate – so they are trying to make the electorate fear the evil Republican bogeyman. Jim Clyburn even claimed the GOP would lead us into fascism, in a laughable example of hyperbole (and projection).
The real fascists are to be found on the Left, as always.
In an unprecedented abrogation of the Nuremberg Code, instituted after WW2 to prevent the recurrence of Nazi medical practices, this administration coerced millions of people to be injected with an unproven chemical cocktail – whether they consented or not. THAT is fascism. “Jab or Job” – even Orwell dared not suggest such authoritarianism.
And now the one party state of California has introduced legislation that makes it ILLEGAL for any dissenting doctor to utter any criticism or disapproval of the Covid “vaccines”, on penalty of losing his medical licence. THAT is fascism.
The control of mass media and social media by the Left is an achievement that would thrill Goebbels, for he was a proud National Socialist.
And the coming CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) is a Leftist’s dream come true. The state will control your every Dollar and every dime.
Books have been written on the totalitarianism of the Left. They are truly the fascists – and truly the embodiment of evil.
Austin tossing in more unfounded fear mongering with minimal specifics as usual. Clearly been spending a great deal of time on conspiracy sites. But to humor his silliness….
Biden has accomplished the infrastructure bill (that Trump tried and failed), student loan forgiveness, increased police funding, and investing in Green Energy (because he believes in climate science). Toss in the reduced cost of medications for a few critical drugs. Not to mention record economic growth, low unemployment and record corporate profits. Of course, he has failed to address global inflation crisis and is letting his fed treat it as if it was a domestic problem which it isn’t. That is a whole topic in itself.
Digital Currency is failing and no immediate concern, mass media includes a good number of right-wing news organizations controlled by the Right (Trump calls into them personally) so stinks all round. Social media is a private industry influenced far more by advertisers than politics (Just ask Elon).
But you can sit in your corner tossing stones, misinformation and fear mongering at your leisure. What a joke.
There is nothing unfounded in the statements I made.
Every item is true.
I refute. You have no real response. Paint me shocked. Lol
Asserting that you have prevailed does not make it so – except in your imagination.
James – Your letter is funny, but sad. The funny part is that your quote “The left are racoons in the corner – they are flailing and quite dangerous. No longer can we accept their behavior. They need to be removed from power and when the inevitable tantrums arise, they must be squashed. Enough is enough.” is EXACTLY what I say about the right. Perspective is a funny thing…..
People are going to be so confused when they get their ballot and realize there’s no place to vote for Biden or Trump in this mid-term election.
Funny you say that. My cousin was voting here in Guildford County and some guy ranted at the poll workers that Trump was left off his ballot. He refused to return her ballot and stormed out.
But really, midterms are always a pulse check for the current. President and Presidential hopefuls.
The US party of the Left believes that killing a baby just before it’s born, or even as it is being born (“Partial Birth Abortion”) is morally acceptable, and even laudable. They’re literally murdering babies.
The Left believes that destroying the innocence of little children and introducing them to sexuality and even sexual perversion is something to be promoted. They’re even trying to permanently mutilate the kids, with brainwashing of “gender identity” and other undiluted wickedness.
The Democrat Party is working to undermine and cripple the nation that exemplifies liberty and free market capitalism. It has become so totalitarian that it is effectively criminalizing dissent, characterizing it as “disinformation”. Those who dare to speak against the state are already being categorized as “domestic terrorists”. THIS is Nazism. They even have their own SA or Brownshirts, as roaming bands of Antifa harass, intimidate, and even attempt to assassinate their political opponents (even if they’re on the US Supreme Court).
And The Democrats are trying to slowly subjugate us, forcing us to obey, comply, and submit to their commands, even denying our personal bodily integrity as they force needles into our arms.
They’re trying to make us serfs.
These people are pure evil.
Since I easily refuted Austin’s first attempt, he goes to the extremist point of views to fear monger about Democrats using easily refutable lies and misinformation (his go to strategy).
Partial Birth Abortion is NOT killing a baby just before it is born. It is an approach used to abort a fetus after 20 weeks and is used in less than .2% of abortion and almost exclusively for those where there is severe risk to the mother or severe deformities to the fetus (such as cases in which the fetus develops hydrocephalus (commonly known as water on the brain). No political candidate supports killing a healthy baby after viability.
The left only believes in acknowledging the right of LGTBQ individuals (approx 10% of population) exist and have the same rights as anyone else. No one is attempting to ‘convert’ or ‘groom’ children in the school system. Heck they can barely educated the kids given the poor resources offered in most public schools. Just more hollow fear mongering from conspiracy theorists from bigots like Austin who believe even acknowledging the existence of LGTBQ community is evil. Sad really.
The US hasn’t been a pure free capitalist market system since Standard Oil attempted to bankrupt the country for their own greed. Trickle Down economics didn’t work. It clearly pooled the wealth with a very few….those few that support he Republicans who rely on their support to maintain power given their minority status.
Austin will have to provide more insight to his conspiracy theory of how Democrat’s economic views link to ‘domestic terrorism’. Democrats acknowledge the existence and threat of real domestic terrorists that wish to use violence to get their way….such as attempting to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Or running their vehicles into crowds of people at protest rallies…. Republicans, of course, call them ‘supporters’.
Antifa is not supported by Democrats or affiliated with Democrats in any way. They are an anit-government group of thugs who support anarchy and therefore hate any government organization. But of course, Autin doesn’t care about this…they are mean and scary so he falsely links them to Democrats since he doesn’t care about real truth or facts.
Speaking of body integrity…it is the republicans that are pushing forced births because of their religious beliefs. So who is about control?
What a joke. Using misattributed extremist views, lies and misinformation about Democrats is all Austin can do (and many others from the Right) to justify his hate of anyone from the left. Sad really. (But your rant is a good example of your bigoted and hateful views you seem to deny in our recent comment exchanges.)
Sigh. This country is so divided. Far left and far right, no in between. Have we not learned from history that a nation divided is doomed to fail? We need politicians who work for the people and are willing to meet in the middle. In other words, for the good of the country, compromise. Now I’m going to make everybody mad. I believe that no person over 70 should hold an elected office, they are too set in their ways. I also believe there should be term limits for Congress and Senate. And, most certainly, no person with a criminal record should hold public office, especially in law enforcement!
You called me a bigot three times! But there’s nothing bigoted about the truth. You do like to insult and belittle other people though, using character assassination through innuendo, and baseless defamatory smears.
So here’s some truth for you.
In 2019 the NY assembly – controlled by the Democratic Party – passed a law permitting abortion UNTIL THE MOMENT OF BIRTH. All the Democrats stood and applauded. (USA TODAY 2019/1/30 – “Most Americans don’t want a standing ovation for abortions until birth. But democrats do” Ashley McGuire).
I do not believe that acknowledging the existence of sexual deviancy is evil, nor did I say that. Don’t put words in my mouth to fabricate your straw man arguments.
Antifa is indisputably a left wing organization, and indisputably fond of using violence – just like the Nazi Brownshirts. Their MO is identical.
The rest of your rambling prolix comment doesn’t merit addressing; it’s pure deflection and digression.
——
Lastly, I don’t hate anyone, but it looks like you do. Take a deep breath, buddy. You look like an angry little man.
You continually refer to the LGBTQ community as perverts which makes you a bigot. Period.
Antifa has never aligned with the Democrat party. Never has and never will. They are anarchists. Saying it over and over doesn’t make it true.
As for NY law….Under the Reproductive Health Act, passed by the state of New York in 2019, abortion is legal in the state up to 24 weeks into pregnancy, and permitted afterwards if a practitioner considers “the fetus is not viable or if the pregnant person’s life or health (including mental health) is at risk”.
Of course you hate anyone on the left side of politics. You openly spread misinformation to present them as evil and ‘destroying’ America. What would drive you to that other than Hate.
I continue to back up my statement that you are a bigoted hateful man that would rather spread misinformation than actually have dialog about truth and facts.
But homosexuality IS a perversion. If it were normal heterosexuality would be abnormal and the human race would not exist. That’s just a fact, and pointing it out is not bigotry.
You can’t deal with the truth. You are a liberal.
I continue to assert that you are an odious, bitter, nasty little Leftist creep.
And I didn’t say Antifa was Democratic. I said it was Leftist, which it is.
It is so pitiful that you have to misstate my position in order to try to score points.
Pathetic.
Your OPINION of LGFTBQ community makes you a BIGOT. Your augment that both Heterosexuality and Homosexuality can’t both exist as ‘normal’ is so stupid it makes my brain hurt to have even read such a silly comment. That is like saying Red can be a real color is Blue is a real color.
You really are an ugly hateful person.
And you are a smug, opinionated cretin with a big mouth and a small, closed mind (into which truth cannot penetrate).
