Letters to Editor

(Continued when their soundtrack malfunctioned “skipping and repeating again and again” until the musicians “slunk off the stage.”

I do wonder, however, if the so called “reverend” sees the irony in his own words. It seems to me that the so-called reverend’s soundtrack has also malfunctioned. Each week, we seem to get skipping and repeating in his columns in the form of recycled, anti-conservative and antiTrump rhetoric.

The reality is that the socalled reverend is not at all interested in “independent thought.” In fact, he does not respect it, appreciate it or tolerate it. If you have a different opinion than the so-called reverend, he likens the differing opinion to a “wild west medicine show” or “cynical hustlers.”

It is time for the reverend to acknowledge that his soundtrack has malfunctioned and it is time, just as it was for Milli Vanilli, for the so-called reverend to exit the stage.

To date, government continues spending at unprecedented rates, leaving the inflation fight to the Fed. Unfortunately, the Fed’s only tool against government spending is to manipulate interest rates, which has nasty side effects.

The government is in a conundrum of its own making. Government is trying to solve a multi-faceted problem with the blunt instrument of interest rate manipulation. Add to that no accountability for government policy failures and you have a financial downward cycle.

The Biden Administration is spending trillions of dollars on the Green revolution. Accomplishing nothing except high inflation and the prevention of using the most efficient, least expensive energy available. If Biden really wants to make American’s lives better, he will utilize America’s abundant oil and gas instead of buying it at inflated prices from unfriendly foreign sources. Then, combine lower energy costs with the elimination of restrictive Executive Orders, add in spending cuts, tax cuts, and regulation cuts and the economy will grow and cut down the inflation dragon.

To The Editor:

Well, well, it’s so nice to have Mr. Angelo provide us another fine example of convenient leftist pixelated derangement. Also by blowing thick dust off the not so really profound comment that one is entitled to their own opinion but not facts, he kindly opens the door to an equally trite, but in this case appropriate statement, with little hope of success, I hope to try to make a point that even he can understand. It’s quite apparent by attempting to synthesize a response to two separate letters addressing different points that multiple moving parts are not his forte.

tion or was it sedition, or both); whatever, Mr. A’s QED takeaway was that the conviction of this single individual sustains much like Bevis and Butthead would say and the trained seals (ork, ork) of the leftist media, “see see” insurrection.

I suppose if we stick with Mr. A’s noun definition of insurrection, then maybe for the first time in recorded history a single individual fomented, coordinated, and sustained an insurrection. Obviously, that premise is beyond ridiculous.

based vandalism, and yes, murder).

What is the appropriate term for all this? Yes. Riots.

But, to label Jan. 6 a riot doesn’t fit the discord that the leftist trained seals and media want to foment. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, Bevis, let’s call what they did an insurrection, and we’ll call our stuff “mainly peaceful protests.”

So, to sum up what I’m sure is a vain attempt to penetrate Mr. A’s perpetually agitated state; a real insurrection (see 1789, 1848, 1917) is an organized, structured, well thought out, sustained purposeful action usually involving extensive use of firearms, and often

To The Editor: The current financial crisis starts and ends with government. Government is responsible for creating this latest financial crisis. The government through excessive spending and the Fed keeping interest rates at 0% encouraged risky behavior by banks and businesses.

Government doesn’t solve problems well, particularly if they create the problem in the first place. The reason is simple. The incentives are all wrong. What is the incentive to solve a problem if you work yourself out of a job? Or is the incentive to throw some money at a problem and ask for more money to finish the job? Success is measured in

Mr. A’s thought process and analysis are always “interesting,” and he rarely passes an opportunity to dazzle us with his Constitutional and legal brilliance. He did it again last week with his incisive revelation that a Mr. Couy Griffin in violation of Mr. A’s 14th Amendment was judged guilty of (insurrec-

The central point here is what happened on Jan. 6 was to appropriate a favorite lefty term a “mostly peaceful protest.” An objective person not deranged by ideology could easily acknowledge the similarity between what Trump’s supporters lamentably did and the 352 other incidents that the left’s “adorable auxiliaries BLM and ANTIFA did (sans the arson, broad
