Dear editor:
One of the speakers at the Republican Convention Monday evening was a popular young Hollywood actor named Antonio Sabato Jr., a very strong supporter of Donald Trump as well as the Republican Party. He moved here in 1985 from Rome, Italy, as a legal immigrant.
Antonio is also a strong Christian who believes that Jesus would have him stand up for Trump and the Republican Party. He said that he used to be a Democrat, but that now the Democratic Party is not what it used to be. These days he said that the party seems to be made up far too much with liberals and socialists. He was also sad to see how America has fallen in practically every measure under Obama and the Democrats!
A group of liberal Hollywood actors who don't support Trump as Antonio does, have said they would move to Canada if he becomes our next president. I really think that's what they should do! (Poor Canada.)
Getting back to how much the Democratic Party has changed in recent years, I doubt if very many of you were aware of an article that appeared on a back page of this newspaper in 1980. It told about how the Communist Party in America realized that they were not making much progress in our country, so they decided to make a comparison of both the Republican Party and the Democrat Party.
They concluded after their study that the philosophy of the Democrat Party was much more like that of the Communist Party, so they then proceeded to quietly infiltrate that party. After that, the party began to become even more liberal and less Christian in its platform and agenda than ever before. Remember how God got booed repeatedly and loudly at the last Democratic Convention?
The Communist Party didn't even bother to run a candidate for president when Obama ran both times, since they were so satisfied with him. Obama has a Marxist background and is easily the most radical liberal we've ever had in the White House!
Remember the avowed communist Van Jones, who Obama appointed as one of his czars for awhile? How about the socialist Bernie Sanders, who the Democrats seem so proud of?
If Hillary should become our next president (God forbid!), we will undoubtedly get more of the same radical, left-wing government that America has suffered under for eight long years! In some ways, she might even be worse than Obama, like her proposed 550 percent increase in the Muslims from Syria who can't be properly checked out to insure against more radical Islamic terrorists coming over here to kill us!
Liberal letter writer Stephen Orr Manning recently wrote (Saturday, July 9) that "contrary to (Robert) Sowell's assertions, Middle East immigrants are among the most heavily screened." That's certainly not what Sen. John Boozman recently said. He stated, "The administration says it is checking their records, but the FBI will tell you there aren't any records. If we're not sure if they pose a risk or not, we don't need to bring them in. Period."
Let's make America safe and strong again. Vote for Trump!
