LETTER: You get the respect you deserve

Updated June 19, 2019 - 9:16 am

I almost spit out my coffee when I read Linda Lakin’s Monday letter to the editor.

She stated that nobody should use derogatory names when referring to the president.

Perhaps if Donald Trump himself didn’t refer to his opponents with disrespectful, juvenile nicknames (Pocahontas, Sleepy Joe, Lyin’ Ted, etc.), the media, academia, Hollywood and everyday Americans wouldn’t call him names either.

If he acted in a more dignified manner, he would engender more respect.

Don't miss the big stories. Like us on Facebook.
THE LATEST
LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

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.
