Republican bias
Dear Editor,
Dick Trail's article of Tuesday, Jan. 20, in the McCook Daily Gazette had some truths in it, but mostly sounded like a very biased Republican who is in the state of vexation over the Republicans' defeat in the last two elections.
His first sentence in this article is true, and I quote: "Before leaving town, President George W. Bush declared Washington D.C. a disaster area."
Well, G.W. Bush certainly put Washington D.C. in a disaster, all right, along with the whole country with his fiscal and other irresponsible decisions.
The worst, of course, was starting a seven-year war with Iraq over the false assumption there were "weapons of mass destruction" there.
But that's water under the bridge, and it is now time to turn things around and move forward.
It is sad that the only thing Mr. Trail plans on doing to help this administration and the country move forward by undoing this mess the Bush administration created, is to sit back and watch and have fun doing so.
He actually stated this three times in his column, and I quote: "that it was and will be fun to watch."
In one sentence, he states that "Obama may be in over his head," so I presume he will sit back, watch and have fun if he fails. Such great patriotism.
But I say no one person can deliver us from this mess. It will take the will and work of all Americans who wish this country well, and their full support of their government to succeed.
This government certainly isn't perfect, but it is still the best government in this world we live in. The old saying is still true. "United we stand, divided we fall."
Let us pray to the Triune God that He be with us and forgive us, for if the Triune God is not with us, we certainly will fall. He sent his Son Jesus Christ into this world to forgive and forget our sins and mistakes, so let us pray God continues to do so.
And may the Triune God bless this great United States and may she continue to stand under God.
Respectfully,
Garnet Henton,
McCook
