Letters to the Editor

Need to get rid of fake unifiers

In response to Mr. Rahoi’s opinion of Donald Trump, I have one question: Did you ever hear what Joe Biden says about President Trump? That liar spoke of unity from his teleprompter but started the world on fire with his actions. We are on the brink of World War III and a recession because of the policies and actions of his administration and that of the “deep state.” God knows he never had the presence of mind to cause anything but chaos on his own. How about the inflation that they claim is not happening? Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric and propaganda. Democrats are no longer ...

Trump can’t help himself

EDITOR: At the Republican National Committee convention Donald Trump, humbled some by the assassination attempt, spoke the words I have been waiting to here: That Republicans, Democrats and Independents need to come together as Americans and be unified. (Years ago, there was a common bond that Americans felt within themselves, no matter the difference in political alliance or opinions; that has dissipated.) Trump’s change of rhetoric and attitude lasted less than 24 hours, and then it was back to hurling unjust personal insults, negativity, speaking untruths, etc. ... It’s obvious ...

No one should be above the law

EDITOR: Mr. Mark Miller’s recent excellent letter recalled the wrongful decision of six members of the U.S. Supreme Court (not so Supreme) who conjured up a non-existing immunity for former President Donald Trump (an immunity not found in the Constitution). Hopefully his words will wake up Americans, remembering that America does not have a king nor dictators. No one is above the law. That we are founded on principle. Supreme Court justices decide on constitutional justice and loyalty to law, not to a man who is not bound to law and order nor tradition of justice. Otherwise, all is ...

Rather be ruled or governed?

EDITOR: My letters usually run long and say quite a bit. This one will not run long but will still say quite a bit. We have a choice coming up in the form of elections in November. It seems to me it is time to do some deep thinking on one very important thought. Do you want to be governed or do you want to be ruled? If you are not sure what I mean, look around the world. Many are governed as we are, by the people of their country. Many are ruled by an individual. One person. No choices, just obedience. For myself, I would rather make my own choices rather than be ...

Toning down the rhetoric

EDITOR: Now, after an assassination attempt of Donald Trump both parties are clamoring that the rhetoric needs to be toned down on both sides. Approximately 16 years ago, I had the pleasure to speaking to conservative Christian leader and activist Gary Bauer on a VCY network radio show. I have nothing but respect for the man, for if you present hard facts to the contrary of his opinion, he has the character and common sense to change his opinion. Without arrogance, he was in complete agreement with the point I was making concerning the violent rhetoric being spoken after Barack ...
