Putting cows on the front page since 1885.
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
Fellow community members, we’ve seen some lengthy rants the last couple weeks that have insulted us, given us misleading information, then tried to scare us into voting for Donald Trump. This is exactly the kind of offensive rhetoric that the president has inspired.
Even if we ignore (and how can we?) the racism, dishonesty, corruption, adultery, tax cheating, mistreatment of immigrant children, and his willful mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic has cost countless Americans their lives and livelihoods, the discord and incivility he has sown should be troublesome enough for us not to vote for him.
The standard reply is, “Well, I don’t like how he talks, but I like where he stands on the issues.” Not acceptable. He is encouraging red-hot anger and hostility that is scorching the fabric of our society.
Even if you agree with all of his policies and think he is doing a good job, it is not worth the damage he is doing to our unity as American citizens. Let’s put it this way: if Satan himself was against abortion, would you vote for him, too?
While we are on the subject, the number of abortions went down dramatically under Obama/Biden. Good things happen when there is a culture of respect and cooperation. We can build each other up instead of tear each other down, heal instead of hurt.
Romans 12:21 says, “Do not be over come by evil, but overcome evil with good.” We need to be light to chase away the darkness. We were all much better off when we weren’t so consumed with politics. Remember how nice it was not to feel so fired up all the time?
America can be great again ... but we need a leader who wants to bring us together, not tear us apart.
