Letters to the Editor

Biases render opinions irrelevant In a letter published on March 21, Mr. Eric Becht lays out his charges against Trump — Stormy Daniels, Chinese spies and so forth. If in 2024, we are to select our choice for president as the person with the fewest crimes, then the millions in Chinese money showered on the Biden family will get Trump my vote. (And, if grammatical correctness is a qualification for that office, then perhaps Kamala Harris should not bother to run.) All this is legitimate debate material, but my alarm bell goes off when Mr. Becht slithers back into the usual Democrat ...

What does it mean to be ‘woke?’ To the Editor: Let’s examine what it means to be woke. A person who is woke is likely to believe that racism occurs in our country. As a result of that racism hundreds if not thousands of people were lynched or brutally murdered. A woke person might believe that native Americans were the victims of genocide. A woke person might believe sometimes our country unjustly invaded other countries to devastating effect. A woke person might believe that working people used to work under close slave-like conditions and that unions brought decent pay and ...

Don’t use the Bible to justify hatred To the Editor: When did it become so acceptable to be rude? When did some in our society decide that freedom meant the right to tell others what they can and can not do? When did it become the norm for education, science, REALITY, tolerance, and the simple concept of the benefits of diversity, become so divisive? Though I make it a general practice to not make assumptions, I would venture to say, the dawn of time. Another question I ask, shouldn’t we evolve, grow, learn? I have always lived my life to do those things. Evolution, growth, ...

The other side of religion This is in response to Mr. Sellers’ letter published March 16. The Christian Bible clearly states that it is a sin to eat shellfish, but with you being a Christian, you would know that. The Bible also states the same about pork. Are you saying that you eat both shellfish and pork? I can imagine what it will be like when you enter those pearly gates; no, it won’t be for those attacks on illegal immigrants (the Bible clearly states that you should treat them as you would want to treated — with kindness and love and not as you so-called Christian ...

Letters to the Editor

The moral compass of mad hatters Rupert Murdoch, fibber-in-chief of Fox so-called news, stated quite clearly how American media and the U.S government functions. Murdoch said it’s not about red party or blue party politics, but about the green-goddess of the United (6) States (6) Dollar (6), and the power she bestows. There can be no better example of the power of the goddess than the list of Congress members who voted to repeal the Obama-era banking regulations designed to protect the public. All Republicans in Congress voted to do away with these protections, and 14 ...

Twisting facts makes you look foolish To the Editor: This is in response to Mr. Brittain’s letter published on March 17, 2023. Mr. Brittain made some claims about what I stated in a previous letter that were factually untrue. In my previous letter, I stated that the Bible and other religious texts all teach the same love and tolerance. Please note the word ‘other’ and not ‘all.’ He claimed I espoused the teachings of all religions. Mr. Brittain is again incorrect about the meaning of that line when he claimed that “in effect, that if The Sentinel published other religious ...
