Letter to the editor:

Cling to our founding ideals

The United States of America was born out of a cauldron of fiery words and actions. We know, or should know, the history of independence and the risks our founders took in 1776.

Our nation was founded on the principle of free speech — not just the speech we like, but the speech we don’t like. And the USA has survived and thrived because the fundamental institutions, like our three co-equal branches of government, have an unrivaled capacity for weathering disruptive words and actions.

Be not afraid, America, the country moves by its own momentum, always forward, thanks to the wisdom of the founders and the patience of Americans throughout all ages.
