Regarding to a letter sent to your publication a few weeks ago comparing our nation to a Third World country, such a statement is not only patently absurd but disrespectful of the soldiers, including my father, who fought for the very freedoms we so casually enjoy today.
More than 400,000 men and women gave their lives to protect these freedoms.
As previously mentioned, this type of MAGA-fueled gibberish, spewed by those who wish to achieve political gains by throwing gasoline on the smoldering fire enveloping the political landscape of today, only furthers the hatred surrounding us all.
I invite the individual who labeled our country as such to visit a Third World country for a few months and compare for yourself. You won’t be missed.
