To the editor: There is much to disagree with in Michael Spahr’s letter to the editor in Saturday’s Sentinel. While he claims to be an independent thinker, most of what Mr. Spahr writes are the familiar conservative talking points that we might see in the president’s tweets, or watch on ...
To the editor: Once again Eric Becht takes a side of an issue to place blame — this time on white people. I was surprised he did not include the name of President Donald Trump in his diatribe. Yes, there are cultural differences that attach themselves to each ethnic group but they are ...
To the editor: I was going to have a quiet summer’s day today, but then I read the latest sermon from Mr. Eric Becht of Mifflintown telling us all how to be good citizens, and now my blood is boiling. Mr. Becht informed us recently that the Republican Party is the source of all evil, ...

To the editor: They say ignorance is bliss, judging by some of the comments recently concerning the protests, conservatives must be full of bliss and ignorance. Here is a little history lesson for people who, quite honestly, have made some asinine comments from “being one community” to ...
To the editor: John Wilson, in Tuesday’s Sentinel, plaintively asks “Wouldn’t it be nice if the African-American community just considered themselves part of the American community?” A good question, on its face. However, when we look at history, and at current events, we find that ...
To the editor: “Wouldn’t it be nice if the African-American community just considered themselves part of the American community?” This statement epitomizes the misunderstanding that helps perpetuate the systemic racism that has existed on these lands since the first day white man ...
To the editor: 2020 is going to go down in history as the year that defines America. Not only are we dealing with a biological pandemic, we are also dealing with a spiritual and social pandemic. If we as a nation want to survive as a united people, it’s time to clean out the closet. It’s ...
