THE OPEN FORUM

right could produce another Buckley.

Donald Trump is a pathological liar. He has told so many lies that the people can’t keep up with them. Worse yet, because of President Trump, people question whether the “TRUTH” actually matters anymore anyway. Because of the President’s lies, people are now questioning the validity of our basic governmental institutions, our elections, and our entire system of government.

Donald Lewis states that Democrats are rude. Perhaps that is so, but if it is so, it’s a response to all the rude commentary hurled at us from the right – the right feels it’s OK to say anything about a liberal. There isn’t a derogatory word that I can’t think of that hasn’t been hurled at us. I’m not playing the victim, but it is truly hypocritical for a right-winger to snivel about “rudeness.” Rush Limbaugh perfected the genre. Why wasn’t he fired when he called (over the air) Sandra Fluke, a daughter of the middle class, (no Stormy Daniels) a slut and a prostitute? So much for the left’s supposed control of the media.

Democracies have, many times before, devolved into chaos and anarchy. The right should consider anarchy and ask themselves if that’s what they really want. Failed governments are usually followed by “strongmen” governments. President Trump admires “strongmen.”

Decent people need to stand up and be counted: NOW. We need to fight back against the Donald Trumps, the Rush Limbaughs, and the Donald E. Lewises. Charles Scarfe
