Addressing the destruction of America

Ron Martin4 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor, I realize this is conservative territory, but if my liberal (not communistic, there is a difference) slanted letters are causing those on the right to question policies on both sides of the aisle, then this fulfills my intention and should be viewed as a good thing. However, my greatest realization and concern for America is the fact that one person, back by millions, almost brought about the demise of our great democracy. Not only that, but handed China and Russia the gift of knowing just how fragile our democracy actually is. I want to thank The Standard for…

The other week it was windy and cold outside. As the wind got stronger, I noticed off in the distance that the sky grew darker from the sand and debris the wind was kicking up. As the day went on, the dark sky grew closer. By early afternoon as I was driving, I could not see the mountains and there were tumbleweeds blowing across the street.
