Letter: Liberal left taking over Democrat Party

Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2006 | 7:10 a.m.

I truly believe the agenda being foisted upon us by the liberal left is bent on completely changing the way of life we have been accustomed to throughout the history of the United States.

One issue, of many, the liberal left is pushing for is the abolishment of the electoral college and replacing it with a majority-vote concept. This, in effect, would neutralize the voting rights of the smaller states and essentially give all of the power to a few big states, such as New York, California, Florida and Texas.

The U.S. Constitution is probably the most worthy document ever created in mankind's history. Another reason for the liberal left in attempting to tear apart and amend the Constitution is to create an egalitarian society.

It now appears the Democratic Party is being taken over by the liberal left. I venture to say in the last election some people of moderate and conservative views regret voting for Democratic candidates, after hearing all of the vitriolic rhetoric now being espoused on the left. Undoubtedly the moderates and few conservatives in the Democratic Party will be coerced by the left to follow its ideological agenda.
