Inhaling PC smog
Seth Marshall’s 10-point manifesto (“This Republican won’t vote Trump,” June 12) represents the epitome of a RINO (Republican In Name Only). He expressed a theme of ignorance to the values of most Republicans, especially constitutional conservative Republicans. Most of us want personal liberty and individual freedom along with small or smaller government (federal and state). This is accomplished with the simple promotion of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
Marshall has shown that he is frustrated and is claiming amazement with the political party he says he is a “lifelong member” of. He needs to break away, change his stripes and party affiliation to dispense with his personal and political angst.
His country and his state (California) are both financially broke from the lack of leadership, personally invasive legislation and implementation of economically stifling regulations while attempting to seek control of all individuals plus deliver social nirvana.
It appears to me that he has spent too much time inhaling the smog of “political correctness” and has been sold on the “liberal progressive” outlook that impact and dominate his current location of residence the former, but not so now, Golden State. So long.
