Dear Editor: A small manipulated group using the fear of political correctness has changed our way of life more than either political party. Courts, religion, marriage, parades, business, sports, military, schools, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, movies, television, free speech, are gone.

This is a representative republic but George Washington warned that could be subverted under the disguise of democracy, with a lack of leadership both politically and morally. Where is John Wayne when we need him?
