Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

I believe the recent attacks against the Catholic School children in Washington is the canary in the coal mine regarding the direction of our great country.

Viewing the entire video of the Catholic School children incident proves that these kids were just waiting for their bus when they were taunted by adults from a hate group. Their response was to respond with their school cheer. This prompted Native American activist Nathan Phillips to walk up to them and bang his drum inches away from the face of a 16 year old in the group.

Because the 16 year old did nothing but stand there smiling (the left wing haters in the Democrat Party and the media reported it as a smirk, but I saw it as a non-aggressive smile) he, his parents and his school received death threats! Even if you saw it as a smirk, what has the Left Wing Democrat Haters in the Congress, the media and Hollywood done to our country, that they feel the threat of death is the proper response to smirking?

At the same time, there are few if any hateful responses like this from Conservatives. Think about it, when was the last time Conservatives en masse, harassed and demonized someone on the Left with these hateful actions. Incidences of Left Wing violence against the Right are running at 100 to 1. The only reason the public does not notice it is because the media reports the 1 act of violence on the Right and ignores or excuses the 100 acts of violence on the Left.

Call your members of Congress (both House and Senate) and tell them the time to speak out is now before this goes too far and anyone wearing a MAGA hat has to fear for their safety. Because, make no mistake, these people not only hate Trump, they hate the 63 million people who voted for him.

The Rev Martin Niemoller was a Lutheran pastor who survived Hitler’s Concentration Camps. After the war his said; “First they came for the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did not speak out. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out.” And it’s long past time Republicans in Washington spoke out.

Republican members of Congress seem to be loath to speak out against the worst kind of violence against Conservatives and the cruel social media attacks described here. Yet numerous Democrat members of Congress joined the Left Wing mob and pounced on this poor 16 year old child screaming for his head. At the same time, only one Republican from Kentucky came to his defense. My question is, what has happened to the Democrats to do this and what’s wrong with Republicans that they are so afraid to speak out?
