To the Editor:

Hate was certainly on display by the letter writer who apparently blames President Trump for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia on Aug. 12.  President Trump rightfully blamed and denounced both sides for the riot: Antifa, Black Lives Matter and KKK on the far left and white supremacists on the far right, with some Neo-Nazis thrown in for good measure. The writer forgets that the KKK was founded by southern Democrats and that Sen. Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) was a Grand Kleagle and recruiter for the KKK. Hillary Clinton admits that Sen. Byrd was her mentor in the Senate. Mrs. Clinton also has stated that she admired Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, who was an avowed racist with the goal of eradicating the black race in America.

The writer says that worries about racial violence after the election of Barack Obama, the first black president, never happened. Oh, but it did, not because of his race, but because of his party. During the Obama administration, Americans elected 35 Republican governors and rejected more than a thousand Democrat legislators in state and local elections – giving the Republicans a majority in both houses of congress and the presidency.

What is happening in our country right now is a monumental “hissy fit” on the part of Democrats because their candidate lost in 2016. Like a bunch of 2 year olds, they are throwing a tantrum with their “resist” agenda to any attempt by President Trump to put Americans first. But in just six short months, the stock market has hit record highs, unemployment is at an all time low, job participation rates are rising and consumer confidence is increasing. Just imagine the prosperity we could achieve if the divisiveness, on all sides, would subside.

If not, the alternative is undoubtedly a second American Revolution, not between an oppressive Great Britain and American colonists; but between an oppressive PC culture on the left and freedom loving conservative Americans who just want to “make America great again.”
