It’s the electoral college’s fault

Dear Editor, Did it ever occur to those who are incensed over this Trump impeachment fiasco, the entire thing could have been avoided, if not for the outdated electoral college system we have in this country? With it out of the picture, had the people’s choice actually prevailed, Hillary Clinton would have been president. Then, the Republicans could have been holding impeachment hearings on her!

Welcome to Dystopia

Dear Editor, Dystopia, Per Merriam Webster: an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives. Dystopia is no longer an imagined society or world coming full speed our way. Just take a look at the misery and suffering of the millions of homeless on the streets of our once great nation. Look closely at the once great state of California and the conditions there. The politicians who believe in societal engineering and the rewards of socialism are still proud, if you can believe that, of the condition of their state. It can take a while to…

News anxiety outlet through discussion

Dear Editor, To anyone paying attention to today’s current events it can easily make one feel confused, simply anxiously overwhelmed, unsettled or outright afraid. To address this I suggest a weekly, or bi-weekly, current events discussion group be available here in Kingman. We have an outstanding local resource to make this happen …. our local college – MCC! I imagine the above-mentioned group to be facilitated by an MCC staff. This discussion group may provide a resource to help answer questions you have or just provide a constructive format and outlet to lower your ”news anxiety.” Don’t continue to blunder…

Civil discourse not expected

Dear Editor, Wow! Ask a conservative to explain their beliefs, prepare yourself to be called names and have your character assassinated if they cannot give a logical answer. Take the Treaty of Tripoli for instance. The fact is, the word ‘asserting’ (as was stated by the writer of the letter “Freedom” in the Nov. 6 issue of The Standard) is not found in the text. A group of people calling themselves ‘wallbuilders’, founded by David Barton, an evangelical Christian political activist and founder of the organization ‘that promotes unorthodox theories about the religious basis of the United States’ argues –…

Lies, lies, lies

Dear Editor, A “Man’s life changes over a lie” letter to the editor is shocking, astounding, and sadly believable since it is abundantly clear how such a scenario can evolve today. Recently The Standard contained news of the Republican Party registrations in Mohave County increasing to 60,000-plus, so it is easy to extrapolate the why of such a heinous lie as reported in “Man’s life changes over a lie”; would have the ability to ruin a life or an entire government for that matter. At last count, over 12,000 lies or mistruths had been documented from the current occupant of…
