Setting the record straight

Iam a Liberal and I am tired of reading the Conservative’s opinions that are black and white and I don’t mean races. I’d like to respond to Jack O’Connor’s letter.

From my point of view as a Democrat:

We do not want the borders to be wide-open. We want a reasonable way for those who seek the American dream to obtain it without having to risk their lives to get it.

I’m so proud of our country and I love that others seek asylum here. If we have a more affordable, compassionate way for folks to come here, it would be marvelous. How many stories have you heard about immigrants coming from Europe with a few dollars in their pockets and creating a life for themselves and their families? Our friends south of the border deserve the same opportunity. Seems like conservatives are only ok with that when the immigrants look like them.

It is ridiculous for you to believe Democrats believe “It’s ok to kill babies.” We simply believe a woman should have the right to choose.

We do not support abhorrent behavior. Period.

If your doctor earns $15 an hour, I suggest you find a new doctor.

Peaceful protesters did not loot, pillage and burn businesses. They protested peacefully. Others took advantage of the situations. Peaceful was peaceful.

Those who struggle with gender identity deserve our support because we are compassionate human beings. Just because it doesn’t fit into your paradigm doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
