December 12th Letters to the Editor

Edi­tor,

I am writ­ing this let­ter in regard to Nel­son Hack’s let­ter in the Novem­ber 21,2012 issue of the Mor­row County Sentinel.

I have taken this paper for sixty plus years and have read many let­ters to the editor.

His let­ter reminded me of a man named McCarthy whose views were as ultra-right wing as those of the let­ter writer.

I am a Demo­c­rat World War II vet­eran, a mem­ber of Orga­nized Labor and I am not a com­mu­nist or a Nazi.

Many vet­er­ans gave up their lives to give Mr. Hack the right to express his views with­out retribution.

I had the priv­i­lege of tak­ing the Honor Flight for World War II vet­er­ans to visit the mon­u­ments in Wash­ing­ton D.C. There were seventy-five world war II vet­er­ans and seventy-five Guardians, plus a Doc­tor and a Nurse on the flight.

We boarded a char­ter plane and flew to Bal­ti­more Air Port, had break­fast, then boarded buses for the trip to Wash­ing­ton D.C.

After view­ing the Mon­u­ments, espe­cially the World War II Mon­u­ment which is con­sid­ered the Jewel of the Mall, we returned to Bal­ti­more for our flight back to St. Pete-Clearwater Airport.

We arrived about 9:30 p.m. and were greeted by a crowd which was esti­mated to be 300 people.

It was a trip that I will remem­ber for the rest of my life.

Dear Sir or Madam:

For all of you who have poo pooed, the para­noid (?) con­cerns of some of us about Mr. Obama’s plans for tak­ing Amer­ica away from what the Founders envi­sioned, I will point out to those who can’t see the for­est because there are a bunch of trees in the way.

On Fri­day, Nancy Pelosi was asked whether she would sup­port Mr. Obama hav­ing the power to arbi­trar­ily raise the debt limit, with no input from Con­gress and, with­out hes­i­tat­ing, she said “YES”. She wouldn’t have said that if we had a Repub­li­can President.

I don’t believe this will hap­pen, but it gives insight as to the Liberal’s agenda, along with destroy­ing the Repub­li­can Party.

With the fis­cal cliff get­ting nearer, Mr. Obama con­tin­u­ally calls for the top 2% to pay more taxes, despite the fact that the Repub­li­cans have offered mea­sures that would do away with many tax cred­its for them that would, in essence, mean they would be pay­ing more taxes, but this is not good enough for our arro­gant, elitest Pres­i­dent. He believes that merely win­ning re-election means he can ride roughshod over every­one, with no con­cerns for what they think, and I thank God for our founders fore­sight, in pro­vid­ing safe­guards which pro­tect us from Wannabee Dic­ta­tors, such as I believe he is.

It wouldn’t sur­prise me if he doesn’t want to avoid the Fis­cal Cliff, because he thinks the folks will blame those mean old Repub­li­cans who want to starve the chil­dren and push Granny off of the cliff. I would hope the folks aren’t as stu­pid as he believes them to be.

I real­ize, many will say my ire is due only to what might be thought of as Sour Grapes but is, in fact, far more than that. It is fear for Amer­ica and what another four years will bring, and there is absolutely noth­ing I nor the mil­lions of other clear THINKING Amer­i­cans can do about it, short of impeach­ment and, con­sid­er­ing what hap­pened in Beng­hazi, that might not be com­pletely out of the question.

Thank you, Darl A, Mills, Mt. Gilead

Dear Edi­tor,

I recently saw on the news where another baby was killed by a live-in boyfriend and, being the yellow-bellied scum that he is, ran like a rat. A few days later he was cap­tured but, unlike the defense­less baby, the police evened the odds against him.

Unfor­tu­nately, his obvi­ous mur­der charge will, in all prob­a­blil­ity, be reduced to child endan­ger­ment or jay walk­ing or some other charge that doesn’t’ fit the crime at all.

The sad­dest thing about a sit­u­a­tion such as this is the moth­ers of these babies go scott-free.

Many of these women are wel­fare recip­i­ents that are too lazy to work and allow some free-loader just as worth­less to move in with them and become his ‘sugar-mama’, and the chil­dren have to suffer.

When these women’s ‘stud-muffin’ abuses or kills her chil­dren, she claims she didn’t know he was that way. How in God’s name could she not know? She is just as guilty and should be charged accordingly.

These women can’t lead a life of nor­mal­ity because, in many cases, they are pot­heads, drunks and/or have the I.Q. of a rock.

Not all women on wel­fare live this way, as most would do every­thing in their power to pro­tect their chil­dren, but being the accom­plice to the death of one child is one too many.

I would urge any­one know­ing of abuse to have the courage to report it as you could very well save an inno­cent life.

With few excep­tions, abused chil­dren are known by some­one and it’s time to be a voice for them, because abuse isn’t going away.

Danny Thomas, the founder of St. Jude’s Children’s Hos­pi­tal, said years ago that no child should die in the dawn of life.

Many chil­dren at St. Jude and other hos­pi­tals die from an intrud­ing dis­ease that rav­ishes their lit­tle bodies.

Other chil­dren die from and intrud­ing per­son brought into their home by a self­ish mother, think­ing only of her own desires and pleasure.

I’ve learned, since start­ing this let­ter (about five days ago) of two more chil­dren killed by live-in boyfriends, one killed by the mother, and one severely burned by both mother and boyfriend.

If I’ve offended any­one, that’s good, as that was my full intention.

Hol­lis Eastep, Mt. Gilead
