LETTER RESPONSE: We’re fighting communism at home

Jon Ingalls’ recent essay on why he is voting for the Harris-Walz ticket was nothing more than a copy and paste rehash of DNC half-truths while ignoring the fact that today’s Democrat Party is Marxism trotted out in a Trojan Horse. 

The horse’s gifters and grifters are none other than Comrades Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth “Pocohontas” Warren, and Nancy Pelosi. Inside of that horse is Marx, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. The DNC playbook is the “Communist Manifesto.”

I have friends and former colleagues with whom I have daily or frequent contact. They served in Vietnam in capacities including (but not limited to) a Navy Tomcat pilot, Marine medevac helicopter pilot, “Brown Water” Navy gunner, and a “boots on the ground” Green Beret who engaged in jungle operations. 

Without exception, they are disgusted that we must now confront Communism in our homeland. There’s a “wall” in Washington, D.C., with thousands of names of men and women who must be flipping in their graves at what Mr. Ingalls supports.

Somebody should poll Putin, Xi, Maduro, Kim Jong Un, Diaz-Canel and the Ayatollah. Ask them who they would support. I’m guessing the same as Mr. Ingalls.
