I gave my body for this country. I blame both parties for the rise of socialism

Published October 4, 2026 9:00am ET



I hold both the Republican and Democratic parties in contempt as an independent voter and 100% disabled combat-wounded Marine veteran for allowing the country I fought for in Vietnam to justify the existence of the radical socialist parties such as the Democratic Socialists of America.

Under the “presidencies” of Barack Obama and Joe Biden that turned class against class, race against race, and state against state, I have nothing but disdain for them and their cohorts in crime that have given a foothold in our government to undesirable anarchists who want to destroy 250 years of our democracy.
