Letter to the Editor: Several points of disagreement with GOP debate column
In response to Mia Tapella’s Oct. 17
article, “If only the most recent GOP debate was the last,” I
politely disagree. The comments levied against Rick Santorum were
in poor taste, equating the Christian idea of marriage as “[not]
really possible to separate [in] a conversation about marriage from
the gay rights movement.”
It is possible to separate such a holy
institution as marriage from the LGBTQ community, because the whole
concept of “civil unions” and the like were unheard of until the
sexual revolution of 1969. It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and
Steve!
Another point of contention I’d like
to bring up is the point of Santorum and Romney and their views on
the People’s “Republic” of China. China, as far as I can remember,
has been an uneasy friend with the United States since Nixon.
Saying that the Chinese are “cheaters” isn’t exactly unfounded.
Chinese intelligence agents have obtained and sent back to their
superiors valuable information, including documents regarding the
F-22 Raptor aircraft and other weapons.
The Chinese, adhering to Maoism, want
to dissect the society of the United States under the flag of the
“People’s War,” forcing communism on all.
War between the US and China is
inevitable. We just don’t know when it will happen.
This is a perfect example of the
liberal media at work. Demonizing values that the Founding Fathers
held dear, blatantly slinging mud on fact, and not staying
impartial.
