August 23, 2020: West is "Woke"! * Letters to the Editor * OPINION * Del Rio News-Herald
Letter to the Editor,
West is “Woke”!
Multi-millionaire, singer and songwriter
Kanye West is running for President on a platform where he proclaims the beauty
of faith, the goodness of family and the truth of freedom.
The progressives desecrate, denigrate and
detest those concepts. They desecrate religion because they are atheists, who
only believe in themselves and the power of government. They denigrate the
nuclear family of father, mother and children because they seek alternative
lifestyles that free them from the commitment of marriage and the responsibility
of raising children in a safe and secure nurturing environment. And ultimately
they detest the tenets of liberty because they seek to impose their mandates on
everyone and squelch the dissenting voices because there is no diversity or
tolerance of thinking, speaking or behaving that does not adhere to their
thoughts, words or deeds.
Kanye is no longer carrying their water
for them; he has truly seen the light of day, he has awaken from his slumber,
and is no longer fearful of cowering in silence because of how the unruly mob
of cancel culture might come after him and destroy his career.
He is speaking out against the prevailing
thought of the radical left and they are desperately seeking to shut him
down.
During his campaign speeches he gives
witness to his religious beliefs and his abiding love of God.
He has spoken against abortion, how it
has personally affected him by recounting that his father wanted to abort him
but his mother bravely stood up against her husband’s wishes and thus saved his
life from being ended. He has tearfully recalled how he wanted his daughter
aborted but now realizes how much he loves his daughter.
He has spoken about the true nature of
freedom, being freed from the scourges of abortion and pornography.
He spoke out against the racist eugenicist
Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and lo and behold the largest
abortion organization has disassociated itself from its leader and explicitly disavowed
those statements that she had made.
Kanye: Once Asleep, Now Awake!
