Wednesday, August 12, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 19 The Nugget Newspaper Crossword LETTERS Continued from page 18 By Jacqueline E. Mathews, Tribune News Service To the Editor: The time is approaching rapidly where Americans must make an important decision as to the direction of our country. Aside from the tragedy of COVID-19, there is an evil embed- ded within peaceful demonstrations across the country seeking to destroy America with a socialist/Marxist agenda. Supported by the mainstream media and senior politicians in the Democratic Party by omission of intelligent response, they seek power at any cost. Consumed with hate for President Trump, they appear to have little concern for America9s future as demonstrated over the past four years9 fabrication of one corrupt hoax after another. It9s all about attaining power. They failed to enslave African Americans so have now upped the ante to enslave the entire country with socialism/Marxism and endless promises of free stuff, equal pay for all, open borders, defund the police, guaranteed income, etc. One must wonder how the last surviving members of the Greatest Generation feel about this fascist war on America. World War II saw the defeat of evil that has its same roots embedded within today9s hate-America movement. Take the murder of an unborn child and selling the body parts for profit. If that is not evil straight out of the pit of hell what is? We have the greatest country on earth with the greatest governing documents ever conceived 4 the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. We, and the world, all own a great deal of gratitude to those that paid the ultimate sacrifice during World War II. Can you even imagine back during that period a journalist asking the President <Mr. President why do you keep calling the attack on Pearl Harbor Japanese?= It9s now time for all Americans to stand up and show their respect and honor to those past and present who sacrifice(d) so much for the freedoms we now enjoy; and to DEFEAT those pushing the Marxist/socialist agenda and destruction of America. Jeff Mackey s s s To the Editor: The opinion column of July 29 by Jim Cornelius (<Echoes of tumult,= The Nugget, August five, page 6) was well-bal- anced. No apology needed! Compliments to Sheryl Pelligren, Gregory Walker for exposing the truth of Portland and all the big cities now. After reading Marxist Communist Manifesto, I understand what they have been doing for 75 years-plus, working for the complete destruction of the U.S. and world. With the double hit BLM and COVID-19, they are winning. The Christian Church and others have been asleep for years! Time to wake up! Study the platforms of the political parties, then vote November 3. I still believe in the God that created everything and gave us a peaceful way to live if we would follow His manifesto. Christians know the beginning and end of the Bible. Chet Davis s s — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — This Week’s Crossword Sponsors WELL PUMP SERVICE s To the Editor: President Trump 4 Restoring Sen. Hatfield Legacy. Sen. Hatfield would agree with Trump9s actions re: " Pro-Small Business: Allows 20 percent tax deduction and organizing for low-price health plans, reduced regulations and utility costs, opportunity zones for neglected communities, expand broadband to rural areas. Favor limited, responsible government: Goal of reduc- ing 34,000 fed jobs, institute policies to fire poorly perform- ing fed workers including VA, eliminate degree requirements when not essential for the job. Sacred rights of all citizens: Protecting peaceful protesters until they or infiltrators become violent, arrest/seize those causing serious human rights abuse against children and women( protect US borders), protecting Second Amendment. " Politics, policy are about good governance, not ideologi- cal, cultural warfare: Oppose Democrat ideological identity-cultural warfare, enact prison reform, First Step Act and increase support of Black colleges ($250 million), all praised by Black leaders. " Anti-war: Refused to wage any additional wars while bringing troops home from Syria, Afghanistan, Germany. Isn9t it better to form agreements with North Korea to halt nuclear missile tests than wage war? Better to end ISIS control in Syria and Iraq? Better to issue sanctions against Russia and close their Seattle embassy than wage war? Better to put tariffs on China?
