LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Democrats bent on destroying country

I was born in an election year, so I didn’t get to vote in a national election until I was 25 years old. I had a college degree, a job and a family to support. Now for some crazy reason we will allow 18 year-olds to vote, with no life experience under their belts and never having to fend for themselves in the world of adulthood. This change was a big mistake. And, I would have added passing a civics test to qualify for voting for those 21 or older. Too many people vote for what they can get from the government rather than what is best for our nation. They have no life experience to draw from at age 18 and very little at 21. If you believe biological boys can be girls and they should be able to compete in High School and College athletics against biological females, vote for the Democrat of your choice. if you believe we should have open borders while thousands of American citizens are homeless, ditto on that. If you are proud for saving all the trees instead of letting trained foresters manage the forest (Which has burned down, by the way), ditto on that. If you paid for your college education, and still have extra money to pay for someone else’s college education, ditto again. Any time the “government” subsidizes somebody, they are using our tax dollars. Let the universities fire their presidents and football coaches who are some of the highest paid people in America. Let people who think electric cars are the future pay for that with their own money, not yours. Let the United States take full advantage of our natural resources and provide jobs here instead of some foreign country. So my suggestion is to give the Republicans a chance this election, the Democrats are bent on destroying our country and have been doing a pretty good job of it lately.
