Steve Bantly: Thanks, conservatives, for helping me see the light
Re “How do Democrats get away lying” (Letters, Nov. 18): Finally! Now I know why I have been such a jerk for most of my life: I am a corrupt Democrat who votes for corrupt Democratic politicians. The truth is finally out, and I am most indebted to the letter writer who had the courage to point this out to everyone.
Perhaps we can adopt a one-party system, and return to the sane governmental policies that existed before these corrupt Democrats came to power. We could ramp-up our military and go over to other countries and kick butt for imaginary reasons – like we did in Iraq. We could even re-institute the draft, pulling young men out of college to be shot up overseas, like in Vietnam.
We could give more tax cuts to the wealthy to create more overseas jobs, or let Wall Street gamble with our investments – as it did in 1929 and 2008. We could raise middle-class taxes and get rid of Social Security and Medicare to balance the budget. Certainly, we could gut Obamacare and let private insurance companies return dropping those who get too sick and expensive. The possibilities are endless.
