Letters to the Editor

We should eliminate sheriff’s sales

To the editor: How can sheriffs’ sales of real estate for delinquent tax bills be eliminated? It’s simple: allow school districts and local and county government to tax income in order to replace the lost tax revenue from their present taxes, including property taxes. Ideally, this income tax would be based on a taxpayer’s ability to pay; in other words, a graduated income tax, not a flat-rate income tax that burdens the working class and rewards the wealthy. Yes, this would require an amendment to the state Constitution approved twice by the legislature and once by the ...

Was speech forewarning or a falsehood?

To the editor: In a letter to the editor on Aug. 8, Dave Quay argues that Democrats’ actions will ultimately lead to communism. He starts out quoting a speech purportedly given by Nikita Khrushchev on Sept. 29, 1959. This scary speech starts with “Your children will live under a socialist government. You Americans are so gullible!” It concludes with “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work, and you give it to those who would not.” First, there is no proof that Khrushchev ever made that speech. He was touring the United States ...

Gun violence vs. abortion

To the editor: Mr. Geedey, to your letter in the July 26 edition of the Sentinel: The main topic of the letter you referred to was the hypocrisy laden policy of the progressive left. Gun deaths bad — vacuum abortion deaths good. The collective absurdity of progressive logic is not being able to correlate between common sense and statistics. We don’t live in other countries where nudity is common on TV or like in Ireland where the “F” word is used by children as a natural adjective or adverb. Or countries where women cannot go to school and must be covered from head to ...

Supreme Court acting as politicians

To the editor: Behold the majesty and power of the nine unelected gods on America’s Mount Olympus, the Supreme Court of the United States. Gaze upon the power of transmutation, the magic that transformed Dred Scott, an enslaved human being into an object, a thing to be exploited for personal profit by its owner. Alchemists of old envy the legerdemain of these pseudo-gods as they alter natural laws and create, through bribery, a living being from the dust called corporate personhood. It matters not to these living deities that the 14th amendment was never decided favorably for ...

Nation must not worship false idols

To the editor: When I look at what is happening in our country I can see some similarity to the nation of Israel and the sin of worshiping idols. There were many idols (false gods) that were in the Gentile nations around them. When they were in Egypt and understood the idols that they worshiped we can see that each one of these plagues were not only against the Egyptian people but a defeat of the gods they worshiped. Showing the Egyptians and Israel that none of these idols could stand against the only true God. Before the nation of Israel entered the land of Canaan God gave them ...
