The guest commentary by Ken Bird was so egregious I had to reply on the side of sanity.
First, the U.S. has every right to be proud of the millions who voted to elect our leaders on Nov. 6 without violence of any kind. We are never in decline as long as this can happen. I’m not sure about Bird’s Christian values, but my values believe it is not Christian for people making the most to pay the smallest percentage in tax, nor do I believe anyone’s values should be imposed on everyone else in this country.
