Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Editor, Times-Union:
The only way we can learn from our historical mistakes is if we acknowledge that we made mistakes and know history. The socialists that are running for office hope the voters skipped history class. They also hope logic isn't their strong suit either.
People call the war against Iran is a war of choice. The Spanish American War was a war of choice. The war against Iran is for the survival of the Western world. Trump didn't want the Iranian brag that it could build nuclear weapons in a matter of months to be true. That is why it attacked Iran. Then again, if this was the Socialist Republic of America, Iran would have nuclear weapons and missiles that could hit the European capitals. Those who want us to end the war are telling the Iranian Satanists that America is too weak to fight it and it can go ahead and kill millions. Even though Iran and its allies have killed thousands of Americans and Trump is saying enough is enough, socialist don't care.
Socialists don't want illegal aliens to be deported. Opponents of socialists in the election should ask this question: If nearly a dozen non-citizens overstayed their visas, should they be deported? If the socialists said they shouldn't be deported, their opponents should say because eleven non-citizens that overstayed their visas weren't deported, nearly 3000 people died because of them on 9/11.
In the SRA, the promises of free nearly everything will cost us trillions. The SRA would be a fascist state since it would believe the government should control nearly everything. Medicare for all means no medicare for anyone since the system would collapse within a couple years. The government would control the medical system and have rationing which means thousands of people would die needlessly every year. Free bus rides means buses would become homeless shelters on wheels and the transit unions might go on strike because the SRA will only raise pay for the drivers if they can "soak the rich" for more money.
It would be easy for millionaires and billionaires to leave high-tax states like New York and California for states with lower taxes. But in the SRA, all states would be high-tax states. Government grocery stores will have empty shelves and in government schools, boys and girls will compete against each other in sports since socialists believe everyone is equal just like a motorcycle is equal to a bicycle since both have two wheels.
Pray the SRA never materializes.
