Letter: From the Tower of Babel

By Tom Nelson, Vancouver
Published: August 17, 2022, 6:00am

When I write letters that are published in The Columbian, I often ask questions that need to be asked and answered.

Citizens who disagree with the tone of my letters do not address the questions. (“What planet has Mr. Nelson been living on”; “he is uninformed or so radicalized to the Trump cult that his mind is blocked”; or “I read, with no small degree of amusement, Tom Nelson’s defense of Donald Trump.”)

I have concluded that some of these citizens must have been the first to be kicked out of the Tower of Babel for they speak a language that no one but them understands. They are not aware of the lies nor do they understand that the lies told about President Trump’s connection to Russia are lies that have been proven false.

Those people who were the first to be kicked out of the Tower of Babel need to learn the language of objectivity. President Trump knew that the lies were lies, but that did not stop those who were kicked out of the Tower of Babel from speaking a language of subjectivity; in other words, emotional dribble. Hate will not solve anything or get them back into the Tower!
