Letter: Democrats not guilty of extreme hatred

Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio., speaks to media at Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018, to announce her nomination by House Democrats to lead them in the new Congress. She still faces a showdown vote for House speaker when lawmakers convene in January.

I read the letter that David Haughey wrote and said to myself, don't write back. But then I have to tell myself that this guy is a nutcase.

I'm not a red or a blue guy, but if I voted in the presidential election for a Democrat, my vote wouldn't be counted. I could go on and on, but let’s get to the last part of his letter.

The charge is that the Democratic Party has morphed into extreme hatred. This is simply untrue.

If this guy wants to look at real lies, civil liberties, socialism, reasonable debate, big money, he might look into the present president. This guy lies every day, bullies every day and is a racist.

He also wants to change the Constitution at will.

Last: I have not read the Federalist Papers, but will look it up. I do ask Haughey to find any Democrat who wants open borders, and call me.

Michal J. Hughes, Taylorsville
