Letter: O say, can you see?
Our American family values are under attack, bombardment, according to Dr. Ben Carson and his wife Candy. “They believe that the institution of the family is being deliberately undermined by modern-day Marxists, socialists and globalists whose values are at odds with those of America’s founders,” according to published reports. The Carsons point out that when families contribute to communities of faith, historically, the communities thrive.
Socialists want to separate fathers and mothers from their children, turning over parental responsibilities to a socialist or Marxist government. The recent election of an “unapologetic” Socialist to Mayor of New York City is alarming, therefore, and a warning to all people of family values and faith. We must teach our children the lessons of history that show socialism is a repressive, depressive, awful form of government that must not be allowed into our communities and nation.
Socialism is taking control of the Democratic Party and is behind the shutdown of our government that is causing such pain and suffering to our people. The leaders of this shutdown seek not for the benefit of the nation, but they seek power over the lives of us all. They hate Pres. Trump, declaring he will end democracy but actually are themselves the perpetrators of ending democracy in America. We must not support those infected with TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, who run about like angry fly swatters, willing to smash and destroy the very fabric of a thriving nation, seeking to destroy the good initiatives of our duly elected President. As the Democrats shut down our government and will not vote for a clean CR, their true motives are unveiled. Can you see them?
