The words of America’s greatest president came to mind when I read the tiresome Letter to the Editor last week: “Better to be thought a fool by being silent than to remove all doubt by speaking [writing].” If I had very little understanding of 14th century Chinese society (I have none.), it would be foolish to presume in writing that what I wrote about it would be taken seriously. The Letter in question is just such an example - too full of vague and erroneous “facts” that make Kamala Harris’s word-salad nonsense seem clear.
The elected President of the United States has constitutional, broad legal footing to make executive decisions in his duties. The president-elect is no Abraham Lincoln, but neither is he a Hitler-type dictator as the author suggests. He did NOT preside over the corruption and militarization of the IRS and the FBI. Those very real abuses happened, but they happened under democratic party administrations, not under Trump’s. Just one more example of woke disinformation. Just plain BS.
Lincoln’s 1863 Gettysburg Address contained 275 words and will inspire many future generations of Americans. The Letter in question is 4X as wordy, says nothing, and is merely another sad example of leftist chaff and very little if any wheat. Where is a single word that is pro-American? Not there! The left cannot stand it that the election spoke for the people and for our country’s values.
God bless America!
