LETTER: Men without morals denigrate Christians

Published by admin on Mon, 05/10/2021 - 2:57pm

To the editor:

God is not governed by mankind’s propositions. Therefore what men and women think about the mind of God has no place in secular politics. To believe that we know what God thinks is the height of hubris, the pinnacle of pride.

There are many in this community and in this nation that irrationally superimpose their feelings on abortion upon their feelings on politics. Consequently, they will demonize a solid and good Catholic Christian who rightly separates his personal spiritual beliefs from his secular responsibility to govern our nation.

LETTER: Extend kind words to ones keeping the peace

To the editor:

Much has changed in policing since 1962 when President John F. Kennedy set aside May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which it falls as a time to recognize America’s peacekeepers, but the dedication and self-sacrificing nature of the men and women who commit themselves to the profession has been ever present. Some may view policing as just one of many career options, but in reality, if you ask most law enforcement professionals, you’d likely learn many regard it as a calling.

LETTER: America behind in fixing infrastructure

To the editor:

After decades of disinvestment, our roads, bridges and water systems are crumbling. Our electric grid is vulnerable to catastrophic outages. Too many lack affordable, high-speed internet and quality housing. It’s embarrassing that the greatest nation in the world is ranked 13th in the overall quality of infrastructure, according to a study in 2019.

We must all share in responsibility

To the editor:

As citizens of the United States, we benefit from many freedoms including freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, the right to vote for officials, etc. We receive many benefits — water, roads, health care, military and police, environmental protection, unemployment, and many others.

As citizens we have responsibilities, too. No, not just taxes. We are responsible to protect our world and the people who surround us. We should be accountable for ourselves and our actions.

Time to get into ‘good trouble’

To the editor:

The late and venerable John Lewis stated that, for America to attain its goal of full equality and opportunity, people of moral foundation must continue to cause and get into “good trouble.” Now, because of explicit words and actions of leaders such as Ron Johnson and the spineless complicity of leaders such as Mike Gallagher, our state and country is entering a new era of Jim Crow. This version of Jim Crow under the guise of voting and electoral reform is spreading across our nation as evidenced by the recent actions of the Georgia Legislature.

Right to life is most important issue

Published by admin on Tue, 10/27/2020 - 4:03pm

To the editor:

Life is a precious thing. All lives matter. In this vein, consider the lives of those who don’t have a voice, who cannot protest because their lies have been tragically ended through abortion.

I commend President Trump for his pro-life stance and urge you to unite behind our president and support him with your vote on Nov. 3.

The right to life is the most important issue facing our country. One-issue voter, you betcha! You know, if you have been denied life, no other issues matter.

Jean Farrell,
