The Choice Is Clear!
Dear Editor: I dislike hearing from Christans that they will not vote for either Clinton or Trump because they are both horrible. My statement: “So you think that Clinton or Trump are bad, but who is ‘badder’?” Yes, Trump is not as polished a politician as are the very smooth Clintons, but do you really want Mrs. Clinton to continue the policies of Obama? Did you forget about the Little Sisters of the Poor? Did you forget about the condoning of baby body parts for sale? Did you forget about the admiration both Obama and Mrs. Clinton have for the late Saul Alinsky?

Dear Editor: James Mack, in an otherwise unobjectionable letter (Aug. 20), accepts the term, “the law of the land” for Roe v. Wade.

To accept such erroneous terminology is tantamount to surrendering the argument.
