Letter to the editor: Let's try common sense in politics

Enough already! The election is over and the impeachment is, too. Now can everybody grow up and shut up? All this name-calling has to stop. Speak your mind at the next election and then shut up again — no names or insults to anyone regardless of who wins or loses.

Make no comparisons to Jesus; no man on Earth can compare. Make no quotes from the Bible; we took that out of all politics, remember? Also remember, nothing is free, and anyone who promises “free” is lying to you. If the government pays for it, that means every taxpayer pays for it; that’s where the government gets its money.

I know that common sense isn’t very common anymore, but try. This coronavirus should prove to everyone that the borders need to be protected. I know that it didn’t come from Mexico, but we don’t know what people from poverty, without inoculations, may bring in from other countries. We still welcome aliens — just not illegal ones. If the first thing you do in coming here is break the law, how can you expect a big welcome?

Let’s stop embarrassing ourselves. We make it look to others like democracy doesn’t work, and it does, doesn’t it?
