I haven't written to the local "bugle" the Orlando Sentinel in a while, but they printed this comic strip causing a new blog to be born in my brain and perhaps a published letter on their Opinions page. I do appreciate that the Orlando Sentinel often prints my conservative leaning letters so I give them accolades for at least allowing other opinions.
So here's the letter I will write to them regarding this comic panel- and then I'd like to elaborate a bit more on who's really stealing our Democracy- perhaps tomorrow or maybe today- I don't know I'm running late again this morning.
Dear Editor- I reviewed your comic panel on the opinions page with interest as it revealed the dangers of losing our Democracy to billionaires. I'm trying to draw up examples of billionaires stealing a Democracy in history but am falling short. I can, however give you many examples of Democracies being stolen by government- in fact that's the only way a Democracy can be stolen. Review all tyrants in history- from Stalin to Hitler to Mussolini to Tojo to Castro. From the Communists to Nazis to Kings and Queens- Democracy is not stolen by billionaires it's stolen by the government. The group looking to limit government intrusion into the individual's life is the true defendant of Democracy. If you want more control, to seize guns, more taxes, more limits on free speech or limits on religious activity, fewer freedoms and you're in government- you, sir or madam are the tyrant that is "stealing Democracy".
If they print my letter I will advise the reader in this blog.
UPDATE: Okay, so they did not print this letter but they printed another letter that I felt compelled to write them but really didn't expect them to print---- and they did ! I will post that letter this coming week.
.......In My Humble Opinion.
