Letter: The perils of liberalism

As a 67-year resident of Alaska, I am very fearful of where this beautiful state is heading, with liberals creeping into every facet of everyday living of true Alaskans. When you see a huge Black Lives Matter sign hanging in downtown Anchorage, any conservative has a right to be concerned.

When a woman like Lisa Murkowski has to rely on Democrats to win in a write-in campaign, you know that someone has sold her soul to liberalism. Alaska was built on solid conservative values since it was a territory and then a state in 1959. Sure, Bill Egan and Bill Sheffield were Democrats, but they were in the times when the Democratic Party was sane and its platform was not as radical as it is today. They never wanted to eliminate the word “God” from our money and stop saying the Pledge of Allegiance in schools. 

Today, with the disgusting way our big cities, states and even Washington, D.C., are being run by liberals, you can predict where Alaska will be if they keep voting along the same trajectory. Alaskans need to do their research and support conservatives for every governmental or nongovernmental position.
