Sept. 19, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: For many years I was a cardcarrying member of one of the two major political parties. But a few years ago I stopped paying my annual dues and became an independent voter. I decided my loyalty is to my country, not to any political party.
With that being said, I believe President Kennedy would not recognize the Democratic Party today. In my opinion the Democratic Party has become the party of death. Death to the unborn. Death to legal immigration (have open borders). Death to law and order (defund the police). Death to American history (must be rewritten from a leftist liberal perspective). Death to parental control. Death to small government (power rests in big government control). Death to tolerance of opposing viewpoints. Death to common sense (cannot define what a woman is, cannot acknowledge differences between males and females).
The transformation of the Democratic Party was gradual at first. But has recently accelerated rapidly. What will a continuing transformation look like?
The above are strictly my opinions. If any of your readers believe one or more of my opinions are flawed, I hereby ask that they educate me. God bless America. JOHNNY LANE Buena Vista
