Letters: Clinton too far left for America

Bernie Sanders’ primary campaign moved the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton to the far left, threatening to turn our republic to a socialist state. The weak and despicable Democratic candidate lacks moral character or a desire to tell the truth to the American people.

To quench her extreme thirst for power and much-desired legacy of the first female president, she will say anything she and her surrogates believe her political base and never-Trump Republicans want to hear.

The principles of the Founding Fathers embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution came under assault by progressives of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Progressivism rejects the Founders’ ideas of natural rights, limited government, separation of powers and federalism. The progressive government, exemplified by the modern administrative state, has transformed the most important aspects of American life.
