To the Editor:

This is in response to Renee Klugmans Aug. 9 letter Disappointed by Republicans. I think Democrats, not Republicans, lost their soul.

Democrats are now the party of baby butchers, socialists, anti-freedom of speech, illegal immigration, anti-traditional family, and pro-sexual perversion.

Republican free-market policies raise everyones standard of living while Democrats socialism leads to more poverty and loss of freedom. Everyone agrees with having a safety net for those overtaken by adversity. But welfare as a way of life is inappropriate and harmful, perpetuating poverty and dependency.

The history of racism belongs to Democrats. The goal of the KKK was overthrow of Republican state governments in the South. The emancipation proclamation was favored by Republicans and opposed by Democrats.The 1964 Civil Rights Act was approved by 80 percent of Republicans and only 60 percent of Democrats.

Voter IDs cost little or nothing and keep no one from voting. People opposed to voter integrity want voter fraud.

Evangelicals voted for Trump as the lesser of two evils. Trump is appointing conservative judges to uphold the Constitution protecting freedom of religion.

I have degrees in physics and nuclear engineering, and an MBA. I like college and science.

The problem is many colleges today indoctrinate the students in Marxist and anti-American ideology while suppressing conservative and Christian speech.

They promote a lot of bad science like evolution, man-made climate change, and use of embryonic stem cells while squelching opposing facts. True science should be open to questioning and alternative ideas.

Please note the Social Security Trust Fund has zero real money because of lying liberals in both parties.

I am disappointed in the Democrats and establishment Republican politicians like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. Trump was voted in to drain the swamp and the swamp creatures are fighting it.
