This shows what is wrong with our Country Under Democrat leadership.

God hrelp us.
I wonder what your life experience has been to make you so hateful and fearful of Democrats and Socialists. By the "God hrelp us" ending you make it clear you believe either label is a synonym for evil. Many studies have shown that the overwhelming influence on people's political preferences is the position taken by their parents. I would sincerely like to tell the important parts of your history which led you to such strong beliefs.

And to show you I'm sincere, I'll readily admit I am one of the majority influenced by parents. My father worked tirelessly as a union tradesman, then a small businessman to make a life for our family of nine. He suffered several major financial setbacks at the hands of the uncaring 'bigger' businesses which realized but would not share huge profits from his work and ideas. He convinced me Roosevelt's depression policies, including Social Security were enormously important in building a middle class and preventing a fabulously wealthy elite from controlling everything. He explained in detail how the 'socialist' label on Roosevelt was meaningless and the McCarthy hearings, attacking people he labeled, the grandstandings of a disgraceful demigod. Seems to me there was a lot of truth to that.
