La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

Dear Mr. Stern:

You fit the bill: another also-ran of the liberal media. To wit: your editorial on August 25. Everything Democrat is good, everything Republican is evil. You have yet to acknowledge any gains Republicans have made, nor have you acknowledged any failures of the Democrats. Read: extremely biased.

So what do you say about the following comments by Dr. James Dobson? I firmly believe he is spot on.

“The Left has now achieved ultimate power in the White House, in the House of Representatives and in the Senate.

Consequently there will be no checks and balances in our system of government.

The most radical ideas promoted by Joe Biden and his majority party will be enacted.

We can infer from what they have told us that the years ahead will bring more regulation, less freedom, more taxation, less religious liberty, more socialism, less democracy, more funds for abortion, less support for the sanctity of human life, less funding for the military, more illegal immigration, more restrictions on speech, less patriotism, more wasteful spending, less support for families, more regulations on business, more appeasement of China, Iran, Russia and North Korea, less support for the electoral college, trillions more dollars for climate nonsense, more LGBTQ propaganda, less moral compunction, more governmental corruption, less oversight of elections (emphasis added), more “cancel culture,” fewer police officers, more gun control and less government of the people, by the people and for the people.

We can also anticipate quick passage of the horrendous Equality Act.”

To add to this list of horrors, gasoline is already over $4 in many areas and expected to hit $8 like many socialist countries in Europe before this administration is done with us.

Not to mention the current debacle in Afghanistan.

So, I am compelled to ask: Where have you been on any of these issues? Your silence is deafening.
