To the Editor:

Jackson County Commissioners, I want to congratulate you on the entertaining meeting on Jan. 29 and your resolution to support the “Move to Amend” proposed 28th amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Surely you know of at least some of the organizations that are supporting it and their ultra-radical politics? Don’t you? 

Here’s some of them in case you’re ignorant. There’s Code Pink, the radical feminist group which recently tried to arrest 91-year-old Henry Kissinger for war crimes at a Senate hearing on Thursday, Jan. 29, prompting Sen. John McCain to shout “get out of here you low-life scum” before the capitol police could remove said radicals. 

Then there’s the American Humanist Association who is “Good Without A God.” I wonder how all the good folks in the churches of Jackson County would feel about you aligning yourselves with an organization who is “good without a God?” 

Let’s not forget the Young Democratic Socialists (a division of the Democratic Socialists of America). A former communist friend of mine told me once that a socialist is someone who hasn’t picked up an AK-47 assault rifle to kill capitalists … yet. 

Oh, I know that you’ve heard of GreenPeace, whom many would say is an eco-terrorist group that tries mightily to compete with other nefarious sea dogs in the piracy-on-the-high-seas department.

 Then there’s MoveOn, the organization who is spending $1 million to draft the ultra-radical Sen. Liz Warren of Massachusetts to become our first socialist president in 2017. Last, but certainly not least, is the Rainbow Push Coalition run by Jesse Jackson, whom many would say is one of our country’s top two race hustlers who, after receiving contributions from certain corporations, interestingly enough those corporations don’t get harassed anymore by Jesse.

I could go on (see www.united4thepeople.org) with the racist, radical, socialist, and communist organizations who are supporting the proposed 28th amendment that you affiliated yourself with by passing your resolution last Thursday, but sadly there’s not enough space to print them all. Ultimately, it’s all about the company you keep in this life. For those of you seeking re-election anytime in the next decade or so, how will you defend yourselves to the citizens of Jackson County by your becoming willing, useful idiots to these organizations that want to destroy our republic? 

The French have a saying, “bad companions lead to bad ends.” Aligning yourselves politically with bad companions who are haters of freedom and American exceptionalism is not a ‘return to common sense.’ Thanks for the free entertainment. I look forward to more of it. By the way, which side are you on — ours or the enemies of the republic?
