Readers Write: Democratic convention failed to impress

The Island Now

At the virtual Democrat National Convention last week, the public was treated to tasteless jokes from Hollywood’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and a video featuring Donna Hylton, who spent 27 years in prison for the grisly murder and torture of Thomas Vigliarolo, a New York businessman found stuffed inside a steamer trunk and left to rot in Harlem.

Then there was Michelle Obama telling Americans to “go high” after her husband tried to destroy candidate and then President Trump by weaponizing all of our intelligence agencies against him. 

And to top it off, the admission by presidential candidate Joe Biden that his daughter is so enamored of the recently indicted rap singer Cardi B that he agreed to an interview with her for Elle Magazine, but mercifully she did not play her newest hit, WAP, perhaps the filthiest “song” I’ve ever heard.

The convention even had fireworks. Only one thing was missing. In the entire event, there was not ONE WORD mentioned of the months-long violence taking place in Democrat-run cities throughout our country––the short list includes Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Baltimore, New York City––and the massive destruction wrought by the communist group Black Lives Matter and Antifa: widespread arson, massive destruction of property, including historic statues and local white and black businesses, wanton attacks on innocent people, intimidation and harassment, et al.

Why? Because as you can see by the behavior of the mayors who run those cities, it’s perfectly OK with them as long as they serve the “big picture” goal of the Democrat Party, i.e., to have things get so bad that there is no choice but to turn to Big Government to intervene, take over, and run all of our lives from cradle to grave.

That is why your vote in November is really between Communism and Freedom!
