Paul Nelson’s tirade “I am sick of liberals” (June 10), to me, is wacko. He asked, “I am sick of liberals, aren’t you?” and I answer “absolutely not.” I am sick of any group who thinks hate is the answer, which consists mainly of conservatives.
Most liberals believe what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal,” not all white males or all who government deems to be equal, but all men.
The hatred shown by the current administration to women’s rights, to minorities, to the physically and mentally disabled, to the LGBT community, to those in poverty, and many other groups is appalling, and I say this hatred must stop as it is tearing the fabric of our nation apart. If Nelson thinks liberalism supports the Jeffersonian declaration, then he is correct and there is no apology from me on my belief that all men are created equal.
Beware of history and how the Nazi regime rose to power — the comparisons to our current government are eerily similar. Who among us wants that to repeat?
