Choosing Bad If Given Choice Between Bad And Worse

To The Reader’s Forum: In Saturday’s paper a contributor asks why Christian Evangelicals would vote for such a blatant and conspicuous sinner as Donald Trump. I don’t want to speak for evangelicals, but to me some of the answers are pretty obvious. They think they would be better off, spiritually and materially under Trump than under a Democrat. They think another Trump administration would do less to encourage the ever increasing discrimination and persecution of Christians both in their home towns and throughout the world. They think Trump would do less to facilitate ...

Asking For An Explanation

Responding to the “Opinion Author” of the PJ article of Aug 10 entitled “Evangelicals Who’ve Been Deceived”. I am truly amazed that anyone would criticize Evangelicals for supporting Trump, and thus empower the political left which is as anti-evangelical as one can get. I find it even more amazing that any true evangelical would fall for such nonsense. Have we forgotten how perverse the “morals” of the post-modernist left are with respect to the values and virtues of Western Civilization that came about through Christianity? The left formally supports the most ...

Thank You, President Biden

To The Reader’s Forum: Thank you, President Biden, for showing us what true patriotism looks like, putting our country and democracy above your own ambitions and ego. You have spent your life serving your country and continue to do so now. Now it is time for all of us Democrats and others who believe that another Trump presidency would be devastating, to unite and work for a common goal. Mary Bosek Bemus Point

Thank You, Douglas Conroe

Remembering A Friend

To The Reader’s Forum: I read with much heartache the article by J. Paul Lombardo shared with us this weekend following the sudden passing of Jeff Waddington. (P.J. 6-22). His overwhelming sadness was quite evident as he shared his thoughts and memories of his friend gone too soon. Anyone who lives around Falconer and otherwise follows wrestling knows of the Waddington family. During the 1980’s, Jeff and brother Robbie were doing wonderful things on the wrestling mats as they competed on coach William Davenport’s teams. Jeff and Robbie were both very talented and the pair won ...

Evangelicals Who’ve Been Deceived

To The Reader’s Forum: I’m truly amazed that evangelical Christians are willing to vote for the convicted felon, Donald Trump. Have they somehow forgotten their religion, morals and ethics? Besides his numerous felonious crimes, Trump is a convicted sex offender, a xenophobe, a misogynist, a racist, a philanderer, a fraud, and most of all, a serial liar. And before his son was a year old, he was having an affair with a porn star. How’s that for a list of minor transgressions? I was raised United Methodist, and I’ve been devout in my religious convictions since the time I ...
