Dear editor,

Stand your ground Mr. Erbert and Mr. Kobach, fight for your rights as citizens of the United States of America. Personally, political correctness makes me want to puke. I do not recall seeing anything printed, in advance, by the committee that stated they had the right to deny entry into the parade unless the entry was deemed unsafe, not because a person is showing his love for his country.

Are you going to have Mr. Erbert arrested if he decides to do the parade with his jeep as is? Have you talked to the police chief and the county attorney to find out what charges you can bring against him? I don’t think the committee has a leg to stand on and this decision just shows how petty we can become.

Mr. Erbert, I invite you to next year’s Kincaid Fair parade as we will be happy to have you. We just love anyone that will take the time to show us how much they love the good ole USA. It is a big parade with nine bands participating last weekend so come join us.

I do not know Mr. Erbert nor do I know who is on the committee but I suggest anyone in favor of Mr. Erbert find out who your committee members are then call and voice your opinion.

Ann Donaldson,

Kincaid, Kan.

 

To the editor:

My Republican parents taught me civility and conduct of decency with other citizens, with whom we have different views, is honorable. I believe mocking another citizen is evil and destructive to the welfare of our country.

One senator said that is is just wrong for the President mocking Christina Blasey Ford at the political rally last sunday.

Other Republican and Democrat senators were appalled. We can give thanks for parents who have taught us with nurturing respect. Such nurturing will strengthen the nation and we can give thanks. Let’s think of our children and our grandchildren.

Respectfully,

John Wesley Skillings,

Iola, Kan.
