Stupid Letters of the Week

There is no such thing as a stupid letter.  But there is Carol Reger of Milan, Missouri and Donna Campbell Brice of Kansas City who writes letters like these.

Re-uniting America


In Plato’s “The Republic I” it is written that injustice is said to occur “... wherever she takes up her abode, ... that body is ... rendered incapable of united action by reason of sedition and distraction ...” Let’s consider that “body” to be the U.S. Congress.

And within that body are the Republicans. Republicans are a tight-knit group looking out only for their welfare and that of their moneyed donors. In their eyes injustice is all right as long as it doesn’t affect them. Refusing to “unite” with Democrats for the good of the country, when Obama was elected, they set a course of “no” to everything the party in power proposed.

There was no “uniting” to provide health care for a nation in need; no “uniting” to provide adequate stimulus to put money into the hands of the unemployed and small businesses; no “uniting” to extend the unemployment benefits. The “uniting” they did was to protect the tax cuts for the wealthy, to fill their pockets with money from lobbyists and to continue the control of this country by corporations.

Perhaps that group should review our Pledge of Allegiance and the words “liberty and justice for all.”

Carol Reger
Milan, Mo.

Carol seems to not be particularly friendly towards republicans.  She seems to think they are the root of all that is wrong with our nation.  Stingy, selfish people.  I guess they didn't represent the 50+% of voters who provided affirmation to the party of NO on Nov. 2nd.  I suppose the republican opposition to Obamacare wasn't representative of Carol's position so it was not "uniting".  Like most libs, it's all about Carol.  Carol might want to change the Pledge of Allegiance to say "On nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all who agree with me".

If only the republicans had swallowed their principals and went along with the jack booted thugs who have controlled congress for the past 4 years.  But I guess the thugs get a pass.


Support for Obama



What did the tea party participants and Republicans complain about before President Barack Obama was elected?


It’s amazing how the United States was brought practically to its knees before Obama became president. Obama was dealt a bad hand, and it was left for him to correct the mess created by the previous administration.


I think tea partiers’ complaints and statements such as “Let’s take our country back” are code words for “I don’t want a man of African descent to be president of the United States.” Who is the “our” and “take the country back from whom or what?” I believe it’s all about the color of President Obama’s skin and his genes. We are one nation of people, regardless of race, skin color, creed or nationality. President Obama is a highly intelligent man of integrity whose heart is in the right place. We must all work together to clean up the mess created by the previous administration and support our president.


Donna Campbell Brice
Kansas City


Donna has gotten under my skin.  She has called a large number of Americans racists simply because we disagree with the policies promoted by this administration.  She needs to study up on Dr. King's dream.  He dreamt of a day when blacks would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.  I judge Barrack on his actions not his race, and then endure race-baiters like Donna call us racist.

Donna, someday you will Google your name and this blog will appear.  I hope you read it and know that I think you are a moron.
