Freedom Always Has a Cost
To the Editor:
Mr. Mikas it appears you know nothing about the Founding Fathers of our nation if you think Benjamin Franklin would have chosen to give up his freedom for safety of a vaccine. True, he was a man of science, but he was a believer in freedom and liberty above all else. You quote the harsh conditions that the revolutionary army had to endure.
Well, Mr. Mikus, war is hell. If you think any one of those people would have traded their fight for freedom for safety, you know nothing of patriots. They were willing to give their lives and suffer whatever was necessary to win freedom for themselves and future generations. Let’s be clear, the people in charge of our government now, mostly democrats but there are republicans as well that are the greatest threat to this country since its birth. If the Founding Fathers came here today, they would be beyond angry at how we as Americans have allowed our government to destroy our freedoms for the sake of money and power. To destroy everything they gave their lives for.
Think I’m exaggerating? In an August 13, 2021 article on Fox News “Americans interviewed on Friday in Washington, D.C., had mixed reactions as to whether they believe socialism would be good for America. A new Fox News poll showed that more Democrats favor socialism over capitalism, in a reversal from a year-and-a-half ago. The poll showed 59% of registered Democratic voters who participated had a positive view of socialism, compared to 49% who felt that way about capitalism.” Socialism has never and will never work. There’s plenty of evidence to prove that fact. Americans who believe in freedom and liberty should be terrified about what will happen to their children and grandchildren if this country doesn’t turn around.
To your statement of why the Texas Democrats left. They ran because they didn’t want to do their jobs, period. I have yet to hear from any democrat as to what exact language in the bill they object to. So, Mr. Mikus why don’t you read the bill and report back to us what specific language you and other democrats think keeps people from being allowed to vote.
To Ms. Reid. Her letter was vague with typical democrat talking points but no facts. Her comment about it being untrue that illegal immigrants are being allowed in the US unvaccinated; Aug. 12, 2021, article on Fox News. “Officials in Texas border cities overwhelmed by the number of arriving migrants are sending busloads of migrants to other cities across the state without testing them for COVID-19 in a desperate attempt to alleviate overcrowding, according to reports. Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley has been transferring migrants to the border city of Laredo, which in turn has sent several busloads of untested migrants north to Dallas, Austin and Houston, Laredo Mayor Pete
Saenz told Border Report.” So, if they aren’t testing them then I doubt they’re vaccinating them. And for every one illegal alien they catch, many other not tested and not vaccinated illegal aliens escape into our country.
