Thank you for responding

EDITOR:

I would like to say thank you to Harry Shatz and Martha Livingston for their responses to my “Democrats Need a Reality Check” letter. I am appreciative that they proved both of my main points.

Number one, their visceral and apoplectic reactions to “facts, data, statistics, history and results” is an indicator of being addicted to Democratic “talking points” spewed 24/7 by social media and large swaths of the mainstream media. Sadly, this addiction is also an indicator of the antithesis of independent thought, and highlights the widespread Democratic tendency to forgo due diligence in favor of perpetuating false narratives. For example, Mr. Shatz could not get through his second paragraph before trashing “The Orange One,” and Ms. Livingston’s response read as if it was delivered from a CNN teleprompter.

Number two, in typical Democratic fashion, both responses feigned ignorance of the Marxist doctrine that has infected the Democratic party, and mocked the “chaos” that is sweeping across America in dramatic fashion. It is disingenuous to ignore and deflect when confronted with the Democrat party’s visible march toward Marxism.

Perhaps Mr. Shatz and Ms. Livingston (and all of us) would be wise to read the Nov. 6, 2017, article in the Wall Street Journal, “100 Years of Communism - and 100 Million Dead.” To compare this historical and “chaotic” reality to the “chaos” related to President Trump’s abrasive personality is akin to comparing a gnat to an elephant. In truth, it is not only disingenuous, it is also dangerous.

Most importantly, Ms. Livingston’s diatribe on “climate change” was a spasmodic reaction to being confronted with facts and history — in light of the fact that I never mentioned climate change.

For the sake of accuracy, I wish to respond. Her reference to a “climate change crisis” is another Democrat “talking points” tactic. Reality indicates the climate change mantra is a ruse and a con on the American people.

As I referenced in my book “The Mother of all Traitors,” the United States is a minimal polluter in relation to carbon emissions when compared to the “carbon footprint” of the main polluters: China, India, Turkey, Australia, Pakistan and Italy. With the U.N. and globalist interests giving the six major polluters a “pass” while attempting to fleece the American middle class and drastically lower our standard of living, it provides an excellent opportunity for the “light bulb” to come on for “progressives” infatuated with Democrat “talking points” and an agenda antithetical to American democracy and capitalism. Yes, the climate change agenda is a hoax designed to remove the American middle class from their bank accounts.

The climate is changing, has always changed, and will always change. Without an oscillating climate, we would all have serious problems that an Earth Day hootenanny could not solve.

So, no, I will not purchase an electric car as suggested. I care too much about the climate than to utilize a toxic lithium battery made in China.

Much to the chagrin of Mr. Shatz and Ms. Livingston, I care about “facts, data, statistics, history and results.” That is not “anger.” It is common sense. Long live “The Orange One, who was elected and not selected.
