Americans Good And Decent People
Dear Editor,
We’ve never been here before with a pandemic raging throughout our country and an impotent leader in the White House. So where do we go from here? Here’s a three-pronged approach:
First, if you’re a person of faith, pray without ceasing for this country and those suffering in various ways, and if not a person of faith, do what you do in your own way to make a difference.
Second, reach out to all those who might need help in this difficult time, always keeping in mind to do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Third, vote in November for those who have compassion and care about easing the hardships of those in dire straights.
We can do this because we Americans in our hearts are good and decent people who want the best for our families and all those around them. We need to earnestly embrace this reality and work mightily to create a fair and just society – one that works for all. And always know and remember that real power is found in serving others with love.

Are Confederate Statues Murdering People?
Dear Editor,
- How many blacks have been murdered in the last seven days in the United States?
- How many of them were murdered by confederate statues?
A. Wayne Hinson
Or we could just re-elect the best President since Ronald Reagan.
Agreed
I believe President Trump stands up for what’s best for ALL Americans and we should stand up for him
Had President Trump not been elected, we would never have known just how evil and corrupt the Democrats in Congress really are!
America First!
Man oh man what LOW standards you have. I guess your definition of “Best” includes 150,000 DEAD Americans under his leadership or lack there of?
Dear Editor,
I agree with the three-pronged approach made by Bob Kollar but I disagree with his assessment of the current President. I don’t consider our current leader “impotent” or lacking in compassion. I have been observing the Presidency since the time of President Dwight D. Eisenhower so I have seen the good, the mediocre and the bad. Some Presidents are more accomplished than others and this one stands out for his long, long list of accomplishments. He supports the American people and is looking out for them. That’s what drives him every minute of every day. What I am also seeing now is several different entities all working together in an attempt to destroy our current system of Capitalism, Freedom and replacing it with Socialism, Totalitarianism. This has been going on behind the scenes for decades but now it is out in the open. The Progressive Left is on a mission to replace not compromise. So, when you vote in November keep all of this in mind. FYI, I am an Independent voter and I want the very best for my country and my fellow citizens. God Bless America.
Agreed
Well, da Prez ain’t very likeable. Do we need to be friends? I suppose we would have loved Hillary?
Who we want in the White House is a tough SOB…..uh, any suggestions?

Great post!

If you think that President Trump isn’t doing enough to help Americans, just take a good look at Joe Biden. He no longer has the mental capacity to make decisions; his statements are prepared by others, and he reads them off a teleprompter. Meanwhile Trump works 16 hours a day doing a phenomenal job in uncharted territory. Sure, he’s made some mistakes. He’s human. And if you don’t think he’s a Godly man who loves his country ( obviously more than he loves his money or carefree retirement years) you’ve been watching too much Mainstream media.
I agree.
@BobKollar, Nicely put!
Baah baah baah
@Hinson, Your point would be?
Let me know if you are a blonde, and I will explain it very slowly. And yes, Bob Kollar very nicely spelled out the defective thought process of a liberal, if one can call regurgitating the liberal mantra thinking. Lizzy, I’ve seen enough of your letters to think you might be much less miserable in a socialist paradise such as Cuba, Venezuela, or even North Korea. The people who live there and can’t escape probably don’t share your views, but the “leaders” certainly do.
How does the Rhino allow this sexist (hair-colorist?) bull to get past a moderator?
Nope, not blond and I don’t need any “explanation” from a misogynist such as yourself. Your poor little white man privilege stands to be sorely tested come November.
Oh Wayne, what a brilliant letter!
How many whites have been murdered in the last seven days?
How many were murdered by whites trying to make lives better for “other” people?
Even though you see it in your news that way, maybe check the stats. More white people kill white people than black people kill black people in the US every year. More white people are likely have used illegal drugs in their lifetime but far more black people are imprisoned for it.
Maybe it’s because there is a statue of a Confederate in front of the court house. Maybe it’s because people like you think this is okay because statues aren’t living beings that do things directly to someone else and certainly the statue itself couldn’t have intention (completely ignoring the affect it ya on it’s community). But I think it’s because you are scared to be a little uncomfortable and know you’d probably lose the contest of life with most people if you were actually on equal footing.
Don’t be scared, Wayne.
There are six times as many white people in the US as there are blacks, so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that more of them kill people than blacks do. But how many of the whites were killed by a statue? It doesn’t matter much, since whites aren’t clamoring for the removal of MLK statues, or, worse yet, pulling them down while the police stand idly by. And since confederate statues haven’t murdered any blacks in recent history, say, 100 years or so, maybe blacks should focus their attention on where the bullets are coming from– other blacks.
It’s okay, Wayne. I see your fear. It’s okay to be scared. These aren’t problems that you were taught to understand or solve. It’s hard work and you are probably scared because you don’t know what hard work looks like in today’s society where relationships and people matter a little more than sucking it up and doing your narrowly defined job. It’s okay to be scared but we can get throw this together.
Instead of hearing someone say “this statue deeply hurt me” and responding by thinking what we can do about it, you would rather, like a scared and intimidated child, tell someone that disagrees with you that it’s because they aren’t smart enough understand and you will explain it slowly because they are a blonde (and what you meant was blonde woman, don’t lie).
Please, mansplain to us all how your point is valid. We can only change things that kill people? How about this perspective, what good does a statue of an anonymous soldier from a non-country that lost a war do to make the world better. NOTHING. IT DOES NOTHING TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER. It is obvious that you don’t care if this place gets better, you just want to place all the blame on others because you are scared that we are coming for you.
Spoken like a condescending ***hole!
Look how uncomfortable he gets with his own fears. My dad was terrible talking about feelings too.
Sad.
**** you!
I think the issue for many people about the president is his behavior – which I agree is often hard to watch – nit picking and calling people names, etc. has been interpreted as divisive and the press has a field day with him – and frankly he makes it easy for them to do so.
That said, behind his often harsh behavior is some of the best policy we have seen in the US in some time …
so some of us that understand this have to look past his behavior (after all, he was not hired to behave proper but to do a job, you can live in the U.K. If you want royalty)… and still support him.
I support trump but I am worried too many are focused on his behavior and words and not his actions.
Have you noticed that our Congressmen and Senators seem to be having a contest to see who can have the most elaborate funeral, and longest enduring, i.e., John Glenn , John Lewis. Yes, these men served their country well but let’s remember them and move on with life.
After reading all the above, it seems to me that the LEFT is doing a great job of dividing us, and blaming it on the PRESIDENT. They’ve been at it even before the 2016 election, blocking everything conservatives stand for: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And, I might add – leave us alone!
creepie-coopie
Did you even read all of the above? The “left” people posting here, other than the original letter, don’t once bring up the president. And even the letter only suggests that this guy doesn’t think the President is a good leader and encourages people to educate themselves and vote as a call to action.
TL;DR?
If you actually listen to people, you might see that they are calling out all sorts of things they are dissatisfied with, which certainly includes the president. But they are also bringing up systemic racism which is rooted in slavery, propogated through legislation and questionable court decisions, and is very much alive today. They are bringing up the simple fact that roughly 1 of every 2000 people in this country has died of the coronavirus and a large part of that is due to poor leadership – which includes but is not limited to the president’s. They are calling out people using racist and sexist rhetoric to justify their positions (that’s for you, Wayne).
“After reading all of the above” – HA.
@Wayne, you are a true and ignorant douche bag. Give ’em heck @mw
