Sometimes I wonder if newspapers simply draw letters-to-the-editor out of a hat to decide which ones to publish. With this next one I'm about to share, I firmly believe either that's the case or the person in charge of publishing such letters received a dare he or she couldn't refuse.
This letter was published in today's Columbus Dispatch and was written by one Ellie Howes of Delaware, Ohio. The letter is titled, "Does Obama want to tear down U.S.?" It only gets better (worse) from there...
In this letter, Ms. Howe writes the following:
"I thought President Barack Obama was there to lead and work with our representatives. He should be working for a compromise. Maybe he hopes we'll fall apart. He said he wanted to fundamentally transform the United States. We thought he meant for the better.
Apparently, he meant it's no longer 'we the people.' Now it's 'the government knows best.'
This is not consistent with our Founding Fathers' intentions and our Constitution."
Ms. Howes is absolutely right. I assume she has met the Founding Fathers and co-wrote the Constitution, which would make her the oldest living person in history. Like I said, she's right, though. The Founding Fathers were completely against a president being elected through a democratic process, a bill becoming law by passing both the House and the Senate before being signed by the elected president, and after the bill was upheld by the Supreme Court, being implemented as law in the country. What the Founding Fathers were obviously in favor of was for a party, which lost back-to-back presidential elections and lost seats in both the House and the Senate in the most recent election, to shutdown the government, place this nation on the brink of default, and cost people their jobs because they didn't like a law which passed through both Houses of Congress, was signed by the elected (and re-elected) president, and was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Shutting down the government because a law was to be implemented through a democratic means? Yeah, that's exactly what the Founding Fathers would have wanted...
