What I have to put up with - Part of letter in local newspaper

The anti-Christian, anti-freedom, anti-American left vision, different from ours, is hell-bent on erasing America’s borders so we don’t have a country. They want to eliminate Christianity as a moral force in American life. They want to be governed by the UN, not our own Constitution.

They call the 2018 congressional election “The Impeachment Election.”

Is it true 60 Democrats signed onto Articles of Impeachment against President Trump even though they can’t point to anything he’s done wrong or illegal?

If they win back the majority in Congress, they promise to immediately launch proceedings. They will use the IRS, FBI and the Justice Department to target and destroy Christians


And this is the mildest part of her ramblings -

. . .that they are projecting they're behavior on the left. That if they were left, they would be trying to do what that LttE writer says we're doing, because that's how they roll. Evidence, the pursuit of theocracy and the crushing of the government.

They're doing it right now, but from the right, so they are supposing we have the same motivations. Of course, we don't but that's the only way they know how to think. (And i use the word "think" loosely.)

They are trying to force their religion on us, sweeping away women's rights, decent protections of the environment or in the workplace and on and on.

When they say you can't prove that Trump did anything wrong.

How clueless and dumb can you be?

the 1st paragraph is what the Author says comes from the pulpit every week in Evangelical churches.

they simply don't know us or our values, but they know they're scared.

I read so-and-so's letter published on March 8, 2018. In the words of Wikipedia, I believe the entire letter could be footnoted "needs citation."
