In response
I’m not Toomey, but I’ll respectfully respond to your article.
Reading your Oct. 19 article, “Is this what is best for our country,” I believe you care about America — thank you. I respect you, but your opinions are not the same as facts. Given 350 words, I can’t respond to all your opinions such as Trump replaced knowledgeable, patriotic people with sycophants and hate; suspicion and division are his mantra.
Those are highly charged opinions, generalized and devoid of facts. Those obscure charges are supported by left-wing radicals but not patriotic Americans.
Observe the tens of thousands of Americans at Trump rallies compared to Democrats. Hillary said half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable, irredeemable. How sad. Hillary’s attempt to divide patriotic Americans because of different political views failed. Her divisive comments are not “What is best for our country.”
Quoting the worst president in American history (opinion), B.O. said “elections have consequences.” Replacing previous administrations’ appointees is a consequence of elections, they are not sycophants.
I’ll concentrate on elections and your statement, “Trump … solicits again … interference in our sacred elections.” Mueller spent years and millions to conclude NO COLLUSION. No collusion is not an ambiguous statement. No collusion is a clear investigative conclusion from 17 Democratic investigators, not one Republican. The only acceptable Democratic mantra is Trump’s removal.
The Democrat darling B.O. stated “he should stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.” I suggest the same for whining Democrats.
You stated, “our sacred elections”; our elections were never sacred. Democratic corruption (contrary to Cuomo and CNN) was monumental in 2012. Did you ever look?
On Nov. 12, 2012, B.O. received 100% (yep, 100%) of the votes in 59 districts around Philadelphia (a statistical impossibility). In 21 districts in Ohio B.O. received 100% (yep, 100%) of votes when GOP inspectors were illegally removed. Need more proof of democratic interference? St. Lucie County, Florida: 247,713 votes cast; only 175,574 registered voters. Corruption level well over 41%. So much more.
Additionally, voters vote multiple times (illegal), dead people vote (impossible), voting machines rigged (no paper trail); all adds up to corruption.
The Democrats’ best illegal plan — unlimited immigrants (legal and illegal) are promised free education, free welfare benefits and free health care. No, my patriotic friend, elections are often bought and corrupted.
Lastly, B.O. said, “We reward our friends and punish our enemies.” Tragically Democrats and Republicans see each other as the enemy. They should not. We are in the same boat together. Either it floats, or we all sink.

Thank You Terrence, for a well written letter of truth.
In 2008, B.O. and other Democrats enjoyed wins in Philadelphia, and it was only possible through Democrat means... see video please.

When questioned, the DOJ (Eric Holder) ignored the situation.
Was that good for the country? Was it divisive? Did it have to happen?
How about all of the grey voters in Philadelphia? No Big Deal?
If you don't have the fortitude to write and sign in with a real name, your opinion is meaningless.
Just curious what you make of the record market gains? Don't you place any value in the economy? Your hatred of us clouds out the important points "Joe". Record low unemployment for one. Hey "Joe"
When's the last time we had a cook pot explode? You side with chaos and cheer on the nonssense of impeachment, we'll make, and keep America Great.
Who are you anyway... a Russian? Maybe you're one of those ANTIFA creeps who also hide behind a mask?
You crack me up!

The economy was strong when trump took office, Obama had far more growth. I give little credit for trump running the gop playbook of cutting top rate taxes for short term stimulation and long term deficits. The economy is slowing as evidenced by the numbers and need to drop interest rates.
Yes I’m comfortable throwing half of trumps supporters in the category of despicable. I’ve seen too much of a rise in acceptance of white nationalism to ignore and accept it. Your use of racial slurs and propagation of the disproved birther agenda on this board may put you in this category.
Not sure I even know a person of such kind.
You making stuff up again?
Sometimes words by themselves are ok but when you put two together it changes the meaning. It’s called language. By splitting them you are either being intentionally obtuse or you really don’t understand language.
Let’s consider another example. I like the word ethnic because it encompasses the differences among us that make this world better. Cleansing is a good word too! It means we are cleaning ourselves. By golly I must be pro ethnic cleansing!
Don’t see a rise? When was the last time we had a white nationalist as a senior presidential advisor?
“Adherents of white nationalist groups believe that white identity should be the organizing principal of the countries that make up the Western Hemisphere. White Nationalists advocate for policies to reverse changing demographics and loss of absolute white majority. Ending non-white immigration is an urgent priority”
Compare this definition with what is written in Stephen Miller’s newly released emails then come back here with a straight face and tell me what he nationalism is something you support.
And Joe, it’s obvious I understood the language, you just wanted to sneak in a cheap shot. The hallmark of a weak position
The emails from Stephen Miller show a concerted effort by the administration to stoke white nationalism. This is dangerous no? Do you not agree that white supremacy groups highly support this president? Trumps own party has called his rhetoric racist.
There is tons of data that shows an increase in white nationalism world wide. Start here with this very balanced article from fact check. Much of the data shows that these groups were decreasing but then showed increases since 2015

Your making a complete non point, yes I questioned why nationalism is a bad thing because it isn’t, I welcome nationalism and I welcome all races to join in.
But joe, you want to make this a race issue , if you only knew who I am and why this is so laughably silly. You need to reread what I’ve said, sound out the words and maybe look up definitions. I’m here to help you understand
So I gave you the definition of white nationalism and you are free to look it up from other sources. Do you think there is nothing wrong with white nationalism? Do you support it or would you like to take back the word game you used to try to change its meaning?
Don’t try to normalize white nationalism and we’re good.
Trump completely undermined our military, it’s justice system and command structure by pardoning those servicemen. They have a rule of law and a command structure that needs to be respected or people die. Donnie bone spurs would never understand
The exchange of 5 terrorists for Bo Begdahl was OK?
Six soldiers died hunting for him after he went AWOL (desertion). Obama treated the bum as a hero!
Screw you Joe, you are anti American, with deep and dangerous hate for the President.
You make no sense anymore Joe.
All died in search of Barack's Bo.
These fellows are no longer here. There families will never see them again.
Barack could exchange for the Bo for the release of 5 terrorists. Making deals with terrorists. Walker and Bowen were killed with an IED “during a reconnaissance mission,” Curtiss was “shot in the face and killed,” Andrews and Martinek were killed in an ambush, and Murphrey was killed with an “improvised land mine.” Eventually the deserter would show up, and the Kenyan treated the deserter like some damn hero.
Was that OK Joe?
Hello?
Meanwhile, the Kenyan made White House speeches about recovering a lost son who was never really lost to begin with.
You crack me up, you're about as dumb as a rock.
Do you think it was ok for a soldier to grab a POW receiving medical care and kill him with a hunting knife, then pose in pictures with the body and text them out to his buddies? The military brass didn't think it was ok, but they got overruled by a draft dodger
