A response to Left Feeling Betrayed

I read your article multiple times with an open mind and I was not surprised the article was devoid of facts. It dealt with innuendo, party affiliation, hatred of Trump and a delusional view of the Democratic Party. Your call to elect Democrats to protect us was the most misstated and egregious statement in the article.

I could easily rebut your entire article, but let me concentrate on your clarion call to elect Democrats to protect us. Unless you are so biased and party affiliated that facts don’t matter, allow me to paint a fact picture of the Clinton/Obama years.

1. Bill Clinton signed and Hillary supported NAFTA, an agreement that ripped the heart out of good manufacturing jobs — Trump strongly opposed NAFTA.

2. Hillary and Obama invaded the sovereign country of Libya without provocation. A country once the jewel of the Mideast now in ruins.

3. Eric Holder and Obama administered a program called “Fast and Furious” — this programs gave guns to the Mexican cartel — not much protection for Brian Terry (border agent) killed in 2010.

4. Your attack on Trump aligning us with brutal countries. Secretary of State John Kerry and Obama gave Iran access to over $100 billion. Both Kerry and Obama admitted Iran would likely use the money to fund terrorism.

5. Hillary and Obama were allegedly involved in gun running to jihadists in Syria from the port of Benghazi. Benghazi culminated in the death of four Americans and a fabricated story of a Muslim movie as its cause.

6. Obama outright lied repeatedly about health care. He ignored veterans’ health care problems. I didn’t save $2,400 a year in health care costs, how about you?

7. Obama’s unwillingness to support Christianity was one of his calling cards. He covered religious symbols as he spoke at Notre Dame and he unnecessarily attacked Little Sisters of the Poor over contraception. He lost his case at the Supreme Court level.

8. Obama created the largest deficit spending program in the history of America. More than all other presidents combined. His reckless spending programs proved to be an attack on the value of the dollar.

Let me conclude: So the Democrats are going to protect our jobs — nope; protect the rule of law — nope; protect the value of the dollar — nope; and many other nopes like not protecting children because of Democratic support for late-term abortion and infanticide.

To mistakenly conclude electing a Democrat is going to protect you, methinks you need to think about making America great again!
