A favorite literary device is the open letter. Ostensibly, these missives are directed to some famous type with whom the writer would wish to communicate, perhaps to offer advice.
In reality, open letters are meant for you, dear reader, to convey the writer’s opinion about events involving the famous personage. If said person happens to see the article, well, that’s serendipity.
Now that you understand the premise, this is an open letter to David Hogg, vice chairman of the Democrat Party, the man that party now is having second thoughts regarding and wants to remove from his party post. Hogg’s many sins include saying out loud that too many prominent Democrats are too far past retirement age, perhaps senile and certainly ineffective.
Dear David “Boss” Hogg,
I see the Democrat Party to which you pledge your allegiance, the group that drones on about protecting democracy and in practice does all it can to subvert the democratic process, doesn’t want you in a position of influence any longer.
They want an election do-over. I hope you see the irony with your Harvard education, inexplicably in history of conservative political movements.
Let me say up front I’ve never been a fan of yours. I saw you as a pathetic political opportunist, leveraging a school shooting at your high school into a national platform for gun control and general hatred of all things conservative and traditional.
But Democrats were willing to overlook your many shortcomings and even voted you in as a vice chairman of the party.
You rewarded that faith by noting the many leadership flaws of the Democrats, prompting blowback only the left can gin up almost immediately.
Longtime Democrat operative, Lizard Man James Carville, called you a “comtemptible little twerp” for seeking to bring younger blood into Democrat leadership.
I read that you and Carville since have made up. Perhaps you bought him some new LSU attire, with party funds?
Others in the Democrat Party are not so easily dissuaded. They want you out, claiming your election had ‘irregularities.”
So, I guess that makes Democrats election deniers, of their own election.
Boss, you should expect as much. Democrats are the ones who cobble up the concept of super delegates to get their favored presidential candidate nominated. They cite legal process, except when it does not favor them. Then they ignore that, too.
Just ask Bernie Sanders, who has been stabbed in the back by his party more than Caesar.
Recall, too, how other prominent Democrats went after President Trump with Lawfare, screaming no one is above the law. Now that some of these progressives find themselves in legal jeopardy, suddenly they are above the law.
Face it, Boss, you have two strikes against in you in modern Democrat politics. You are white and you are a man – I’m just presuming on the last.
Meanwhile, the failed candidate for your post, the one who filed the objection, ticks more identity politics boxes than a gay, illegal immigrant, socialist, person of color. Just to name a few that I’ve seen reported, this complainant is a woman activist and Native American.
Credit to you, Boss, for not slinking away apologetically, like the typical testosterone-challenged leftist dude. You are fighting back in the court of public opinion.
But why do you want to hang with the party of hypocrisy? Notable converts such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard would welcome you to the right side, metaphorically and literally.
Even the sainted Ronald Reagan was a Democrat before seeing the light.
We’d invite you to move to the political right, where your college studies might prove to be usable. Just leave the anti-gun stance behind.
All the best,
Sam Ross Jr.
