Vote your conscience

Published July 18. 2019 01:05PM

Editor,

This letter is not about President Donald Trump. People can believe and say what they want about the president, but they must speak from facts and not (either way) prejudiced, uninformed opinion.

This letter is more about his opposition, the liberals — call them progressives, socialists, communists all the same ideology — in politics and the media. While I know a person cannot trust or believe everything they hear from the media, they should seriously research the facts before giving their opinion.

Such as, the liberals are so bent on pushing politically correct revisionist history: if they studied true history, they would know that every nation overpowered by communism has developed a failed economy and society. Ask anyone who has immigrated to the United States from a communist country. So why are the liberals so bent on lying to the people of our nation and making it communist as well?

I could say, an empty barrel makes the most noise; that (the donkey) is the most apt symbol for the liberals; that the only time a liberal lies is when they open their mouths. But that is making too light of the plight and future of our nation. So please, be very careful in studying our true history and the Constitution (as written); and question every politician as to their beliefs and motives, and what they want of our nation, before any election. And then vote your conscience.

Sincerely,

Bruce Morrison

Which candidate is proposing we make the US a communist country?
Great Letter.
But... Come on Joe...
The Left has already socialized America's educational system, healthcare, Social Security, and the financial crisis of 2008 made possible more government of the financial sector. The Democrats all embrace Socialism. Communism and Socialism are primarily the same Joe. Come on... stop it!

I want a vow from you now. You will reject social security and refuse to collect. If you already are, request a stop to your check.
Why Joe? That makes no sense! They forced me to pay in to SS, the law to establish SS was way before my time, and by golly, the money they took, I'm planning on collecting out. You suggest otherwise? What kind of advice is that? Pandora's box?
Take your pick. All of the Democrats are Joe. Are you really serious? Progressives morph into socialists who eventually become communists. The ignorant liberals think this is utopia. Instead it is utter failure. Go to Venezuela and see what is happening. What kind of pets do you have? They will be your dinner tonight. Don’t worry President Trump will win again and save the country.
The Communist Party in the USA has one office and fewer than 5000 members nation-wide. What makes you think they are focusing on Carbon County government?

I would suggest that if you believe "call them progressives, socialists, communists all the same ideology " that you are woefully unaware of the beliefs/motivations of all three groups. Perhaps you could drop that broad brush for a few minutes and consider that you might be wrong.
Dear Rosy,
A 2020 Democrat win won't be good. They all suggest hardcore collectivism. These candidates promise what could never be provided, in a last ditch effort to complete Obama's "Fundamental Transformation" of America. Eventually, the "Socialist" ways, must turn to "Communist" ways... enforced by armed government agents. Twenty twenty will be a critical election because it will reveal the direction Americans really want to take. Folks like you have been drinking the Kool-Aid from your union? I don't know who's doing your thinking, but if you think our present political situation is merely a picture on a canvas, wake up. Look up the Fabian Society. Look at where the progressive movement was born.
Find out why we are a Republic, and not a Democracy. Educate yourself, don't depend on the "Educators". If our educators were teaching the history of evolution of governments, Americans and the American press would actively discourage anarchist groups like antifa (anti-fascists), but they embrace antifa.
Communism, socialism, fascism, Nazism, anarchy and charges of white supremacy have always been part of the far-left movement. The study of Russian, German, American and Cuban history would enlighten American students and journalists to understand this significance, but our educators ignore such study. Our "educators" are the major threat. Why do you think they've monopolized Public Education? Why does Bernie want a state run and paid for university system?
State run education? Doesn't that ring a bell? Hello!
Ben Franklin warned that a democracy was two wolves and a sheep trying to decide what to have for dinner. In a democracy, the demands of the wolves supersede the rights of the sheep. The Electoral College equalizes the rights of the wolves with the rights of the sheep.
America is a constitutional republic limited by laws that protect the people from the government and from themselves. This allows the people to be free and productive. Educate yourself on such things Rosy.
And Joe...
Participation in the democratic act of voting does not make America a democracy.

Look folks, A democracy is socialism in nature, and Socialism, is the same as Communism. We have the greatest system in all the world, yet the Democrats wish to change it. Now go and by your tin foil hats and make light of my post, or... Educate Yourself! Check things out!
mike is quite right about the threats these extreme left organizations pose a free and republican society, and I am not referring to the republican party either. one needs to look no further than the devastation in Venezuela, the socialist utopia that has people robbing graves and digging trash out of trash trucks to survive.
T2C, here is something intelligent for you. You are a low intellect punk with extreme mental dysfunction. Now maybe you can “respond in a like manner.” Collusion is an outdated fraud...and so are you. Why don’t you take that big mouth down to the military recruitment center and see how tough you are. You are a cyber bully that needs a spanking. Where are your parents? Don’t cry they will bring a Happy Meal home for you. You, T2C are an order of fries short of a Happy Meal. Go hug your emotional support bunny rabbit and be glad better men than you made America great. Also, do you breath through your a**, or what? You are a weak bully. Joke on you brudda.
I love how Mr. T uses the word communist when people know who the real people are that have been using that behavior. He wants to steal the word early. Read the Mueller report. Only communists hate the truth told by American journalists. Only Mr. T would allow communists to be in the White House with out any American journalists or photographers there. If that wasn't enough behavior, I don't know what is. Who won the election to take back the House in 2018. Women that's who. So be prepared for 2020.
