Daniels: On policies, Harris can be described as ‘chameleon’
Frank Daniels is a retired colonel with the U.S. Army Reserve and a Dover resident.
When Kamala Harris gave her less-than-20-minute interview with CNN, it was nothing more than a plea to the American voter to elect her as a middle school class president. As for breaking a glass ceiling and showing us that she is totally prepared to make all presidential decisions, why did she need support and guidance at her side? By the way, that man, Tim Walz, in my estimation, is nothing more than a coward. That said, she really did tell us who she is.
Her one comment, “My values haven’t changed,” said it all. Remember, every time she speaks, she vividly reminds us what she’s accomplished during her 20 years in public life. Just look at her record of freeing criminals, supporting bail for rioters during the 2020 riots, support for open borders, insane government spending, a foreign policy of appeasement and supporting Barack Obama’s belief that we are a racist country that needs to be reimagined, and you’ll know how she will govern if elected president. As the attorney general of California, it was her writing of Proposition 47 in 2014, passed by the California Legislature, that allows theft of up to $950 be treated as a misdemeanor. We all know the devastating economic damage done to businesses in California since the passage of that proposition. If she believes in Proposition 47, how will she govern this country?
Her values have always been leftist, Marxist and full of Obama-type rhetoric. Remember that all we heard during Obama’s eight years and the last four from both Joe Biden and Ms. Chameleon was “hope and change.” Nothing has changed; she is a diehard leftist, who will destroy this country if elected.
She talks about an “opportunity economy” and hope for the future. Never mind the “past” three-plus years under her and Joe; all we need to concentrate on is the future and how her election will make it so much better. What makes you think that the future won’t be more of the past three-plus years?
Her current proposals for the border, the economy, foreign policy, our military and abortion are nothing more than socialistic and will cause the rift in this country to be even greater. She has absolutely no plan to unify this country, only to keep us separated by pursuing identity politics. She will make diversity/equity/inclusion and transgender policies a major factor in her administration.
Her border policy will be to continue flying illegal immigrants into this country and not counting them in “illegal crossings”; not counting illegal crossings until the number surpasses 1.8 million; and processing as quickly as possible any and all illegal immigrants crossing our border. The immense cost to our medical, educational and housing sectors isn’t her problem. After all, what are sanctuary cities and states for? By the way, what are the costs to the Delaware taxpayer for those areas? Is our Democratic governor and legislature even acknowledging they exist?
Review what she’s vaguely said in outlining her economic policies and you quickly understand that she is absolutely clueless about economics and how their individual policies interact with our capitalistic society. Everything she proposes is government-centered and -controlled, i.e., Marxist.
Her foreign policy will continue to be one of appeasement, for fear of angering Iran, Russia, China and North Korea. It will also continue to keep a boot on the necks of Israelis, as they try to save their country from total annihilation. Her support for Palestinians, i.e., Hamas, is extremely concerning.
She will continue her DEI and transgender policies with respect to promotions in our military. Forget meritocracy; fill in the right block, and your promotion is guaranteed.
Don’t let the Democratic argument of “a woman’s health rights” fool you. It’s all about abortion at any time during the pregnancy, even until the day of birth. Just ask Terry McAuliffe, the former Democratic governor of Virginia. Their argument has nothing to do with health rights or decisions but everything to do with abortion at any time and on an individual basis, as often as needed. Forget the concept of individual responsibility.
A vote for Kamala, or any Democratic candidate in November, is a vote to add another nail to the coffin of our Constitution and, ultimately, our nation. You can hate Donald Trump all you want, but when you think only in the terms of policy and the future of this nation, he is the only choice for your vote.
