Vogelsong letter: Democrats’ resistance

There can be little doubt that ISIS is enjoying every minute of what the Democrat Party is doing to thwart the present administration’s efforts to “Make America Great Again.” The Democrats have created the un-United States of America. They have disregarded our long held tradition of all coming together in support of each new president, regardless of party, after the election is over. Instead they have instigated programs, demonstrations (which can turn into riots and property damage) and now a dedicated “resistance movement” to oppose our newly elected head of the Administrative segment of our government, President Donald Trump. They are working to block anything the president offers; and though they may not realize it, in my opinion, are guilty of treachery, sedition and near treason (if not already there). Giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war is defined in my old Webster’s Dictionary as treason. Again, in my opinion, all that is needed is a formal declaration of war against ISIS, and bingo, they are there. Take a few minutes and look up these words, then think about whether or not you Democrats really want to destroy our government; or continue your push to socialism.
