The buzzword and the rabbit’s hole

Dear Editor,

President Bush, Jr., was the first to call it for what it is. After Donald J. Trump’s 2017 inaugural speech Bush walked away shaking his head and said, “That was some weird stuff!” He got that right.

Trump’s speech was filled with doom and gloom tearing our country down and disrespecting America’s intelligence like we’ve never heard from any American president. Ever!

He trashed our country repeatedly, calling it a wasteland and an American carnage, and kept saying, “Listen to only me. Only I can fix it.” Like a cult leader would say, or worse a dictator.

Spending and fiscal responsibility

Dear Editor,

Polls show a consensus of Arizonans want quality education for all grade levels in our state to prepare our young people and our economy for a fruitful future. Arizonans want just immigration reform, a secure border, and more. …but it all costs money.

Abortion v birth control

Dear Editor,

Tell me what I am missing here. All I hear these days is abortion, abortion, abortion.

We have had birth control pills for many years and they are readily available and dirt cheap. They are much safer than having to go through an abortion. Wouldn’t most women rather take a pill daily than having to go through an abortion?

First off, many years ago a stupid democrap SCOTUS made a dumb decision to make abortion a federal issue.

Living in Diverse America  

Dear Editor,

In my neighborhood we have a variety of people. We have Democrats and Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, and others. People attend different churches or don’t attend church at all. We have Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Jews, and more. On a new street over from me I’ve noticed several families who appear to be from India, Mexico, the Middle East, plus several new America families. I live in a diverse neighborhood.

I haven’t seen anyone out arguing or fighting.
