Just say no

By law, Congress is required to create a budget. Demand to see a budget. Demand them to re-organize. This is our money, not theirs. Congress represents us. Say NO to raising the debt ceiling.

Congratulations Swarthmore, all 3,377 of you who helped elect the ultimate career politician to the presidency. I guess you are looking forward to allowing the oligarchs, globalists, and our ruling class back into control. Welcome back to the Democrat plantation where you are defined by your identity, not your talents. Where your white guilt is applauded.

Headed in the right direction

I would like to clarify a few issues raised in last week’s letter by Parisa Zangeneh in response to my letter in the July 31 edition of the Swarthmorean. For me, federalism is defined as a relationship between a central government sharing responsibility with smaller governments, such as our states and local governments. I believe the constitution clearly defines the role for our federal government. Over time, we have allowed our federal government to exceed the role which was intended by the constitution and our founders.

The idea of reparations expressed in a letter to the editor in the July 17 edition of the Swarthmorean is terrible. This is an expression of the bigotry of low expectations from some of our fellow Americans by telling some of our other fellow Americans they cannot compete because of the false narrative of “systemic racism.” These types of attitudes are destroying the promise of the civil rights era.

‘A sad fact of life’

The idea we need to reduce carbon dioxide is a lie perpetuated by globalists who are looking to establish a one-world government. Government is best kept as local as possible to ensure the most freedom and liberty. We have seven billion people on this planet and the number is growing. Eventually, billions of humans will be wiped out by natural disasters caused by global warming. This is a sad fact of life. Get over it, you cannot save everyone. Live the best life you can and enjoy your time.

A choice in PA-05

A terrific man from Folcroft named Joe Billie is running for the PA-05 seat next year. He is a Navy veteran, a 30-year volunteer fireman, and a longtime employee of Scott Paper. He is a true Delaware County man, and he believes in the Constitution.

In response to last week’s Trump-bashing letter: We live in an oligarchy, run by career politicians bought by the multi-nation corporations, globalists, and PACs that control them. We will NEVER take back our country, freedom, and live by the constitution until we take back our federal government, then dismantle it back only to its Constitutional responsibilities and give power back to the States, where we citizens can more effectively oversee and participate in our republic.
