A letter-to-the-editor that will not be printed.

Older people like me still read newspapers though the local publication in the city I grew up in long ago ceased to print any letters I send to it. That paper is on its last legs and it prints very few letters anyway to save on ink. My guess is that the paper will go bankrupt sometime in the next decade. I keep putting my thoughts out there because you can never give up on free speech and I will put this on Substack eventually with the actual name of the city prominently displayed. I do this for historical reasons because future readers need to know that everyone was not under the spell that is destroying America.

Here is the letter that will not be printed:


Some people have no idea what really happened in America’s 2020 presidential election. They have heard of John Durham, but they have been told by media that he is just another lackey of the former president, and they are instructed to ignore any findings from his report. Unfortunately, many will obey, and Washington will succeed in covering up for Hillary Clinton, the actual source of the bizarre, false allegations that Donald Trump was a Russian spy. Incredibly, these people will not suddenly begin using reason to figure out that if Washington was lying about Russian collusion, it was probably lying about everything else. Like egg-sucking dogs on a farm, this pathetic faction of the population will go to their graves salivating and ranting about Orange Man Bad. The damage to the thinking mind by a national election using the US Postal Service to overthrow the will of the people with mail-in fraudulent votes is incurable and a testament to the power of propaganda.

Lucky for the rest of us, there are fewer of these people left as the entire picture is illuminated and history is written. That history is not going to look kindly on cities like the one where I grew up. Someday students of history are going to look at small cities like this as ask, what made these people so stupid? Were they not aware that they were living in the freest country in world? Did they not pay attention in school when they were taught about the dangers of central planning that enslaved the people of the former Soviet Union for seven decades?

Do the people of this city not understand the importance of a national border? One wonders what is blinding them to the growing tsunami of invited interlopers into our society to replace unruly voters that refuse to play ball with Washington. What do they think when Washington is offering guaranteed winning lottery tickets of $450,000 to foreigners invading our territory with child benefits that expand the windfall to over a million? The American people were not cooperative when Donald Trump was elected so Washington is paying new replacements to poison the well. It is right there in front of them, and they can’t see it.

The city has a college, a newspaper, and a radio station that has been damaging brains for too long. I am deeply ashamed of that city. But at least I know what is happening.

It must be sad to be a Democrat today. The party whose leaders once said, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" and Ask not what your country can do for you, rather ask what you can do for your country.", now wants to be afraid if everything including the weather a hundred years from now, and wants to do everything for you but leave you the hell alone

 

I'm no fan of Trump however I did vote for him twice (did you see who the Dems were running? I had no choice). The whole Trump-Russia collusion thing was total fiction and the higher ups in the government and the media had to know. If they didn't then they are so incompetent as to be bordering on imbecility.

 

a little advice from a former editor .....

1. limit your subjects to one at a time, or at most one per paragraph.
2. add a few facts, especially if you can link them to the prospective publisher.
3. add a few examples. do you really mean sweeping generalizations like "washington is lying to the people" or would it be more effective to say that "the washington post only printed 275,000 stories about hillary clinton's e mails. cover ups like this can not be tolerated from a free press."
4. stick to current events. readers so not open the morning paper to read about ancient history like the 2016 election. they want current events and the latest lottery numbers and football scores.

take that advice and soon you will be a regular contributor to the letters to the editor page.

 

Nice, Rampart. Would you edit my diatribes for free as well?

 

Today’s democrats: “We have nothing to fear but Orange Man himself!”

 

i'll make a point of it.

 

Orange man kinda rhymes with strawman, no?

 

Ok, how's this?

Biden’s proposed $450,000 payouts to families of illegal immigrants raises an interesting question: Shouldn’t the families fractured by the policies of the Great Society be compensated for the lack of fatherhood that resulted from punishing single mothers who did not evict the father from the household? Shouldn’t the millions of children, many of them black, each receive a $450,000 payout for being separated from fathers and growing up in in broken homes? How about first in time, first in line? If government is now responsible to compensate citizens for enforcing bad policy, shouldn’t it start with its own domestic population?

What has the Great Society Wrought Fifty Years Later? Marriage, Family and Poverty | Houston Baptist University (hbu.edu)

"Instead, by incentivizing government funding of single mothers who did not marry the fathers of their children, and by expanding the panoply of welfare state programs to Americans who were already experiencing serious stress and hardship, a series of significant problems became an unstoppable conflagration often referred to as a tangle of pathologies.
Millions of Americans were soon engulfed in permanent chaos and dysfunction. Major metropolitan areas were comprised of block upon block of victimized children, broken families, and shattered lives.
A plague of fatherlessness ensued, leading to nearly 72 percent of all American black children being born without married parents by 2015. Marriage had become a rare and distant thing."

 

much better. you picked a subject and stuck with it.

i happen to like my great society program. blue cross does pick up the co payment, but without medicare my wife and i would be homeless .

modern medicine is miraculous, but no private insurer would be writing policies for 70 year old cancer patients.

 

Agreed; the Great Society had components that did good. But the parts that were bad, particularly those parts that multiplied government programs by cellular division, did untold cultural and moral damage to generations. Even Bill Clinton tried to scale some of it back. But now in response to Trump the dam is cracking and no one is trying to stop it.

 

You could also be helpful if you could offer advice to printed newspapers in the USA. They need help because they are losing subscribers and advertisers every day and will soon cease to exist. People now have other sources for the news rather than the many liberal rags. But the liberals will not change and will eventually run the newspapers into the ground.

 

So which democrat appointed Mueller?

 

This may provide some clarity to anyone that actually tries to comprehend the issue.

 

Yes, a newspaper should not publish opinion pieces that insult a significant fraction of the population. Heck, even our forum has similar rules, although they are often not adhered to.

On top of the insults, the rest is just RW drivel that could be copy-pasta from ANY far RW disinformation site, that are a dime a dozen these days. Maybe some well-written, non-insulting original thought might get your opinion pieces published. Food for thought.

 

nearly all daily newspapers are owned by a few conservatives publishers. hearst, gannet, mercer. i subscribe to the times picayune owned by my old boss john george. he ran for governor against bobby jindal, from the right.

you may consider the ny times "liberal" but their coverage of trump (one of their big advertisers) and bush was way more than fair. judiyh miller's "wmd" stories sold the iraq war .

the reason trump still gets big coverage in every media is that he sells papers. the more outrageous he talks, the more ads he sells.

 

your letter is all over the place, and seems to not really say anything, I would stick to one subject

at first I thought you were going to write about supporting Trump's big lie, then you went all over the place

 

Mueller's investigation ended in a big nothing burger. How many millions were wasted trying to gen up something against Trump?

 

actually it did not, it showed a lot, just Mueller, a republican, appointed by republicans, went by the DOJ memo

 

You mean the primary logic of the Democratic party?

 

Tell that to Manafort, Stone, Gates, Cohen.........

 

You mean the patsies the Dems tried to turn against Trump? They had nothing on him.

 

No millions were wasted.

Now...

...were you going to answer my question?

 

Twasnt trump...

 

actually it was Trump, had Trump not fired Comey, Republicans would not of appointed Mueller

Trump's own actions are why Mueller existed
