Telling Lies In America

Editor, Times-Union:
When you play with fire, expect to get burnt. Democrats seem to love juggling flaming torches and set themselves on fire before they complain about the flaming torches.
Democrats have catered to evil people for a long time. They supported slavery and had laws enacted to punish those that freed slaves. After the Republicans gave Blacks their civil rights, Democrats imposed Jim Crow laws to punish Blacks for exercising their civil rights. The nation discovered that when people accustomed to dominance over Black people are told they are now their equals, they will try to maintain dominance. Democrats still don't want to accept Blacks as their equals because they treat them almost like children that need their help. I believe Blacks are just as good as White people and need to be allowed to demonstrate their abilities without restrictions and prejudice.
There has been hatred for Jews for millenniums. President FDR could have allowed a ship that had a large number of Jews aboard dock so they could be free from Nazi oppression. Instead, FDR had the ship sent back to Germany and allowed all the Jews to be exterminated. I sometimes think if today's Democrats were around back then they would have forbid anyone from trying to kill Hitler. A delegation from the Warsaw ghetto tried to get FDR to send military help to free the Jews from the Nazis and he acted like Obama when there was the slaughter of Hutus and Tootsies and did nothing. Those that say from the river to the sea, let Palestine be free are like the fascists that wanted the Jews to be exterminated.
Democrats know that there are people who want to believe lies, so they tell them lies that are often treated as if they are the truth. These liars hate Trump and make up things about him and know gullible people will believe them. Often these gullible people are published in newspapers and foolishly claim they have the facts. Maybe they'll claim Santa is real and attack those that don't believe them.
The woman who was killed in Minneapolis was the brutal effect of being fed propaganda that caused her to attack an ICE agent who killed her in self-defense. She could have obeyed his order and gotten out of the car. She probably would have been arrested but she would be alive today. But a woman told her to put her body on the line to oppose ICE and she foolishly obeyed the command.
Mainly Democrats passed the Dictator Protection Act to try and keep Trump from trying to help struggling people achieve democracy. Democrats call Trump a dictator and when he captures a dictator to prompt Democracy they attack him. Interesting.
