Letter to the Editor - Sept. 16

To the Editor:



I am nobody, a child of the fifties. Brought up to mind my manners and respect my elders.

I was also taught that there are some institutions you respect no matter what.

You do not disrespect your elders, your state's governor, your town's mayor and especially your country's President.

As a parent, grandparent and a great grandparent I have seen the changes in manners and mores. Disrespect seems to be the way of the world today. Yet I have always been proud that at least as a country American's still showed respect to their leaders, no matter what.

Well, at least up until this last week.

This week has been a major disappointment to me and I hate to say this but I am glad some well-known people are not still here to see it.

First, where does ANYONE get off objecting to our President speaking to the children of our country? They can't vote but he is still representing their rights. What the hell were you afraid he would say?

This MAN is our PRESIDENT! He is a father and the LEADER of our country. How does anyone have the gall to object? Would you have objected if it were Bush, Clinton, Carter or FDR? HELL no you would not of objected, it would never have entered your mind and if it did everyone else would have said "are you crazy, it's the President". SHAME ON THOSE PARENTS AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS!!

Then someone has the audacity to call the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OUR countries Commander and Chief, a liar, in public, on TV, where everyone in the world can see and hear. Where did you think you were, Taiwan, India, Pakistan, a small African country, you sure weren't thinking you were in the Capital Building. At least I hope you don't always act like that.

Senator, you should be mortified!! I am mortified for you and for the people you represent! SHAME ON YOU!! I am sure you were not raised to behave like that.

I AM MORTIFIED THAT THE WORLD HAS SEEN WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THIS LAST WEEK.

SHAME on those of you who deserve it!!
