Dear Editor: I am having an extremely hard time listening to the platform of the Democrat National Party. They seem to campaign with two mantras: They hate Donald Trump and they voraciously defend abortion. It really doesn’t matter who the Democrat is. The message is still the same. Their second mantra is one of the reasons why I left the DNC decades ago.

Nancy Pelosi — The Poor And the Persecuted
Dear Editor: Your editorial (“Remembering What Nancy Pelosi Forgot,” Feb. 29) calls out Speaker Pelosi for not mentioning Christians in her prayer. She asked God’s help for several groups by name; it would seem to me that “other religious minorities, often unseen and unnamed” might include Christians.
It’s Time to Be Courageous And Persevere
Dear Editor: I was very pleased to see and read about our pro-life president (“Trump Makes History at March for Life,” Feb. 1), but in shock about full pages about discerning Democrats (“Catholic Iowa Democrats Weigh Choices,” Jan. 25).
Illegal Immigration and the Coronavirus Epidemic
Dear Editor: In the words of Charlie Brown, “No problem is so big that it cannot be run away from.”
No More Hatred! When Will This Insanity Stop?
Dear Editor: The recent vandalism against Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Bayside and its parish school is yet another very disturbing example of how hate crimes are continuing to increase at a frightening pace in our area.
Queens College Lost a Part of its History
Dear Editor: When Father Paul Wood passed away last week, (“Chaplain at Queens College Remembered,” Obituaries, Feb 8, 2020) Queens College lost a part of its history. I am the “unofficial historian“ of the college, and I can say that without fear of contradiction.
The Accepted Rules of Right and Wrong
Dear Editor: The general attitude of people has changed. Instead of wanting to be proud and responsible for ourselves, the general public seems to believe that right and wrong have changed. Anything you can get away with is OK.
Thanks to Curtis Sliwa and The Guardian Angels
Dear Editor: I would like to praise Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels for stepping up patrols in Jewish neighborhoods because of anti-Semitic crimes in these areas and especially in Brooklyn (“New York’s Guardian Angels Bolster Presence in Jewish Neighborhoods,” Jan. 25).
Practicing Catholics and The 2020 Election
Dear Editor: While so many readers want to weigh in on their opinions as to the persona of our current president, I would hope that those who make a choice for a candidate based on their perception on one’s morality, would check out the questionable lifestyle of at least six presidents that have served in my lifetime and separate their morality issues from their presidential performance.
Very Disappointed With the Iowa Caucuses Article
Dear Editor: I’m very disappointed with the article on the front page of The Tablet (“Catholic Iowa Democrats…”, Jan. 25).
