Astronaut folds on Winston Churchill comments

I read the Tuesday wire service article reporting that astronaut Scott Kelly was apologizing for a tweet in which he called Winston Churchill “one of the greatest leaders of modern times.” He folded like a cheap suit under pressure from the new enemy of the American people: the Democrat/progressive mob.

Mr. Kelly promised the mob that he is going to educate himself about Churchill’s racist views and his “atrocities.” I thought that during World War II the atrocities were committed by those people — the racist Nazis and their allies — whom Churchill helped us defeat. God help us.

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.
