Only Donald Trump telling voters what they want to hear

I heard Bernie Sanders equate the Islamic terrorists' activities to his pet subject, global warming. His ranting and raving about this imaginary problem makes me wonder how any person could ever consider voting for him. Bernie speaks pure lunacy and his opponent agrees with him, as does the so-called leader of the land.

While the Democrats busy themselves with unfounded pronouncements about their favorite topic, global warming, something is happening of real importance in the Republican scramble to take over the White House.

A voice, in the wilderness, has spoken and by so doing has shaken the very bedrock of the grand old party. The old (get in line) Republican warriors are losing their grip on their reign over the party members.

Donald Trump is simply saying words that people want to hear. At last there is a fearless man standing up to the likes of Rove, Sununu, the House speaker, the Senate leader and all others who have no backbone for the fight.

Mr. Trump calls our enemies Islamic terrorists, and that is exactly what they are. Listen to his speeches. Support him as best as you can.

Many patriots are speaking and are urging citizens to arm themselves, get a permit to legally carry a weapon. Always be alert.

Those pacifists among us are enjoying living in America because there are brave men who will take up arms and do the fighting that keeps them free and safe.
