To the editor:

Local Democrats indicated it was “mean-spirited” when the sorely lacking in patriotism members of their party were called “self-serving and cowardly.” What other words can describe a political group that is doing its best to destroy all we should hold dear in America?

In just one year the leadership the Democrats put in power have caused the southern border to be crossed by millions of illegal, unvetted people including criminals and terrorists. A debacle in Afghanistan that diminished our trust and credibility worldwide. A blind eye to rampant corruption that includes the president and his son Hunter. Causing an energy crisis where there was none. Inflation that is ruining our currency and causing critical shortages. The list goes on.

Democrats are responsible for the sorry mess we’re in and cannot lie their way out. If they were patriotic as they profess to be, then we would see them standing up and demanding honesty and accountability. That’s not the case and probably never will be.
