Letter to the editor: Impeachment a perversion of law, common sense

The lack of objective truth is the real reason for the insanity that we see each day. Removing objectivity and replacing it with emotions destroys common sense and one’s ability to reason. This is no clearer today than the impeachment trial.

The desperate attempts to get rid of a duly elected president on, I believe, nothing more than feelings is the surest sign that we are done as a civilization. Twenty-five years ago, they would never have dared to do this. It is a clear perversion of the law and common sense. When you can run through a bunch of charges that don’t meet the standard of the law as crimes without there being shame and or public scorn, then you have lost the education system that was there to teach basic civics.

These same people who drove this sham of an impeachment are promising a second round. It is not how it works. Childish and immature prattle by those who claim to know better needs to be dealt with by voting them out. No longer on the sidelines, the American people need to stand up and take their country back. The real fear in Washington is that you will do just that and take your government back.
