Neal: Letter writer doesn’t know history of America

Posted

Mr. Houston (“Hypocrisy, fantasy rule today’s conservatives” by Jason Houston in opinion, page 10 of the December 2021 issue of the Mesa Independent) must not have studied American history under his more than likely Marxist professor in college — most liberals are college educated — when he accuses conservatives of having prostitutes.

Why, even FDR had a mistress at his little spa down south. Also, it seems as though JFK had a fondness for a girl named Monroe. Bill Clinton is a perfect example of a liberal getting a little extra, even in the oval office. At least Mr. Trump’s alleged indiscretion(s) was before he became president. Mr. Houston lumps Hitler and Donald Trump in “ordained hypocrites”; Hitler hated Christians, Trump was not “ordained.”

Like most of today’s liberals, Mr. Houston lies about the Bible and its effects on the populace. He doesn’t know the Bible was the basis for many of our laws, the organization of business and military structure command from Moses.

He fails to mention the world leadership of a liberal Harry Truman who got us involved in a “police” action in Korea that killed around 50,000 Americans; I don’t know how many of our British, Turkish and from other allied nations were lost. Then we have Vietnam and the religion of the “Domino Theory” by a total crook named LBJ. The Johnsons were making so much money from Vietnam, why would they stop the war? 48,000 deaths later — and around 200,000 from suicide after the war; I know, I was there — tt took a crooked conservative Tricky Dick to end it and sell the South Vietnamese down the river.

I will concede a conservative — approved by Dems and GOP alike — did a stupid thing by invading Iraq and Afghanistan. No one has ever won a war against Afghanistan. Our present-day excuse for a president, bumbling Joe — who can’t say five words without a gaffe or loss of his thought process — took us out of there with great losses of people and equipment, and left Americans behind.

I am 82 years old and served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force. I currently have prostate cancer due to the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam. It is very difficult for me to understand a true American not being aware of the freedoms we are losing under the liberals in charge of our country now. Parents have lost the right to determine what their children get to learn. “Critical race theory” is akin to the brown shirt indoctrination by the Nazis.

But, Mr Houston, you wouldn’t know because you don’t know your history.
