Letter: Diversity must not be forgotten
Friday, Aug. 6, 2004 | 8:47 a.m.
Ever since George W. Bush became president, falsely through interference by a biased Supreme Court, our country has become sick. We need to assess our shortcomings, which now include lying, sending American jobs overseas, giving huge money jobs to favorite companies without honest open bids, etc.
I think this is the sickest time I have lived since I was 15 years old and decried Herbert Hoover's dirty tricks against Catholic Al Smith. As innocent as I was then (and I am a Lutheran), it disgusted me. It was so unfair. Even even then we called them dirty tricks by Republicans.
That has not changed at all and if we want to get back to the ideals Americans started with we had better get together and stop this money-mad chase to the White House and never forget we are diverse people with diverse religions. We all count. That is America!
