Readers sound off on undesirable Democrats, red card rules and excessive hot dogs
Dems will suffer for who they have let in
Manhattan: Democrats claim they have a very “big tent” while the Republicans claim that there are good people “on both sides.” It’s interesting how humankind, constantly desperate for a scapegoat, always finds an excuse for why antisemitism is acceptable within the political landscape of every nation. This shameless acceptance of racism is why most knowledgeable and objective people understand that a Jewish state, even a tiny one, is a necessity.
Unfortunately for today’s Democrats, the party’s been exposed as the Marxist (Communist) party it is. Karl Marx came from a wealthy family and was afforded all the opportunities one could hope for in 19th-century Prussia. But laziness, alcoholism and a lack of talent led Marx to conclude that for people like himself, the only way to achieve success was to take (steal) wealth from those more talented and ambitious. His one talent was his ability to foresee that the vilification of ambitious and successful people might lead to the political mass resentment and hatred for such individuals. By vilifying others, Marx could use moral superiority to legally steal from those who had more.
Using hatred of a minority group for political gain is nothing new, but it is new for the Democratic Party. The “big tent” excuse for accepting antisemites and actual Nazis into the party, though somewhat creative, will have only profoundly negative long-term effects on this morally compromised party.
Manhattan: The same system that sent Graham Platner to Iraq and left him to fend for himself when he returned is now trying to destroy him over unproven allegations. We send young Americans........
