Re: An Open Letter to the Harris/Walz Supporters You Know

“This was a remarkable marker for Trump versus Harris. For all of those Harris supporters who are certain they are more enlightened than the other half of the nation, they will never wash the blood of all those innocent men, women, and children from their hands. I have reposted it on several Democrat blogs in our state.” —Pennsylvania

“Thank you for this letter — I have posted it to community social media pages and shared it widely in our state. There are a lot of reasons not to vote for Harris, but the deadly consequences of the 2020 election are undeniable, and we should NEVER let them forget.” —North Carolina

Re: ‘Bitter, Deplorable, Fascist, NAZI,’ and Now ‘Garbage’ Too?

“So, over the last decade-plus, I’ve been called a stupid, bitter, deplorable, morally indefensible piece of garbage. My thanks to them for the compliments. The more they insult me and those who think like me, the happier I am not to be on that side of the aisle. I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 because I didn’t take him seriously (I didn’t vote for HRC, either). I said at the time that if he showed me something, I’d vote for him in 2020. He did, and I did. I’ve now voted for him twice because he’s better than the other guys and has the record to prove it. RFK Jr. is not someone I’m looking forward to hearing more from if there is a future Trump administration, though.” —North Carolina

“Thanks for this account of how the leftists label those who don’t agree with them. Trump has been a name-caller, but in most cases, the names fit. But for Harris to be lumping Trump supporters into the ‘Nazi’ and ‘fascist’ camps is disgraceful.” —Arizona

Re: Biden Labels All Trump Supporters ‘Garbage’

“Well, I wear the ‘garbage’ badge with pride. As a veteran and patriotic citizen, I will not submit to the intimidation the socialist Democrats and idiocracy crowd continue to demand we all submit to. I will submit a righteous indignation vote today to fire any and all socialist Democrats on the ballot.” —Florida

Re: About Kamala’s Catchy Campaign Slogan

“There are few instances in life when we are presented with a second chance. Most times we chose a direction and have to live with whatever consequences come from that decision. There can’t be any doubt that in November 2020, too many American voters made the wrong choice. The Biden/Harris administration has clearly downgraded every metric we use to rate success. American citizens now have a chance to correct a very destructive decision. The choice is between freedom and an ever more powerful central government. It is a clear choice.” —New York

“Well, clearly from her slogan, Harris is running from her own record. I hope that Trump can successfully make the case that she is the incumbent and should be judged on the disastrous last four years, not her false promises of what she will do.” —Georgia

Re: Stiff-Arming Biden and Blaming Trump

“Given the Democrats’ penchant for projection, perhaps we should be more concerned about Ms. Harris’s darkly paranoid description of what a Trump presidency would be like. ” —Minnesota

Re: NYT Targets Conservative Media

“The attempts of these major media outlets to suppress competitors look an awful lot like illegal market trust actions. It’s one thing to use your own platform to voice disagreement with what somebody else does. It’s another to try to prevent the other person from publishing. How would the NYT take it if conservative media monitoring groups tried to persuade lumber mills to stop selling paper to the New York Times Corporation and certain other print media firms on the grounds that they publish biased and inaccurate articles?” —Minnesota

Re: Unhinged Conversations

“To have a conversation or debate, people must agree on the meaning of the words (or terms) they use. When you have a group of people who decide that words can mean whatever they choose them to mean, you cannot have a conversation or a debate. You can make them look silly and you can drive them to violence, which is what using plain American or ‘conservative’ language does to socialists/Marxists/globalists. A conversation with any of those totalitarians is bound to be unhinged. The ideology of Marxism is the primary reason the USA is lying on its death bed today, perhaps never to get off it.” —Texas

Re: Thursday: Below the Fold

“New York voters would be wise to check their statutes to see if pedophilia is still an exception to protections from ‘gender discrimination.’ Proposal 1 sounds very much like an amendment considered by Minnesota’s leftist-controlled legislature. A companion bill removing statutory language specifying that pedophilia is not a protected sexual orientation was the tipoff that the amendment’s language could be used to decriminalize pedophilia. It is more accurate to call it the Evil Rights Amendment. (Senate Republicans ran out the clock on the bill at the constitutionally mandated end of the session, but Democrats plan to bring it back next year if they retain control of the State House.)” —Minnesota

“‘I don’t like Trump,’ says columnist Nicole Russell in a USA Today op-ed, ‘but I’m voting for him.’ I agree with her. Although most of Trump’s policies are good and he did a great job in his first term (against unprecedented opposition), he’s also petulant, ignorant, immature, oversensitive, and lacks the demeanor expected of his high office. But that’s OK. My dentist is boring, the guy who works on my brakes has bad breath, and the owner of my favorite restaurant is an idiot. But I go back to all of them because they do the jobs I want done better than anyone else I can find. I don’t want to have a beer with Donald Trump; I want him to run my country, and he’s proven he can do that better than anyone else available.” —Georgia

Re: Is This the Funniest Closing Election Week Ever?

“How can you not love Donald Trump’s off-the-cuff comedy? Zingers just roll off his lips, unscripted, but invariably on point. Thank God for sending us Donald Trump at this moment in our nation’s history.” —West Virginia
