Former Dem bemoans party’s Leftward shift
I was once a Democrat who slowly became disillusioned with the direction my party was taking. It is now quite obvious that my fears were justified, but I cannot help but wonder if those who currently consider themselves Democrats actually realize just how far left their party has carried them in their absolute hate for President Trump and anyone who believes in traditional American values. I ask my liberal friends to please take a deep breath and consider if your overwhelming and possibly blinding distaste for Donald Trump is overriding your love for the traditions, history and greatness of our great country. Please do not let hateful people like cartoonists Mike Luckovich or the other hateful columnists the AJC routinely publishes unduly influence your opinions. Do your own research and analysis, but please realize the current Democrat Party has taken a hard left turn into socialism/communism from which there is no return.

Trump’s disregard of human rights warrants ouster
Donald Trump says that his favorite book is the Bible, although he is unwilling or unable to quote a single verse from it. In the King James Version, Mark 10:14, Jesus says: “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God.” Perhaps Trump had a little trouble with the archaic language, because he clearly understood it to say: “Let the little children come unto me and suffer: for such is the Kingdom of Trump.” We claim to be a nation under God, yet we tolerate a president who has harmed the most vulnerable and innocent simply to show how tough he is. Every American should be calling, writing or emailing their congressional representative and demanding that Donald Trump be removed from office for violating the public trust and the most basic of human rights.
