To the editor: The assertion by contributing author Josh Hammer that “politics, coverage and regulation are false sources of which means” is ridiculous (“What keeps me grounded and thankful in the holiday season,” Nov. 27).
Versus politics, he tells us, “This vacation season, I’m grateful for my household — above all, my spouse and our stunning daughter, who’s about to show 1.” Get up, buddy — politics, coverage and regulation will decide the world you and your loved ones will dwell in, a world that’s heading for disaster beneath the present lawless regime with insurance policies that eat up religion, consolation, well being, nicely being, freedom and equity.
I’m glad I’ve lived to be 83 and was capable of dwell in a free America that was making an attempt to do the fitting factor for the most individuals, the place the 2 events compromised for the larger good, and alternative was consistently reborn with character and reality. It was by no means excellent, but it surely labored on betterment in lieu of smash.
By the way in which, Hammer, the Declaration of Independence that you simply seek advice from and admire supplies foundational ideas for American authorized thought and constitutional interpretation. It’s a supply of elementary rights that at the moment are being discarded by the president and the Republican Get together.
