Letter to the editor: Nancy Pelosi's poisonous action

Dear Nancy,

I served this country for over 20 years in uniform under both Republican and Democratic leaders. Many presidents and speakers have come and gone. In my 65 years, I have never been as disgusted as I was by your contemptuous and childish display during the State of the Union.

I know that you were playing to your base. Frankly, most of them are as disgusting as you are. The vile behavior and evil intent is etched into your face like the lines on a windswept mountain. But it was your last gesture that earned you the rebuke you deserve.

When you tore that speech up like a petulant little girl, you were symbolically tearing up the progress made in this country despite your vapid leadership. Did you want to wash away the sacrifices of all of those brave men listed on those papers? Children, Nancy. Sick kids. Kids that lost family members. Wives without husbands. Veterans and police who bravely served our country were on that paper, you evil woman. Parents without a daughter were there, too. Could you not even find a shred of Christian dignity for a man who has stage 4 cancer?

But you failed. All you did was unite us to work against you.

I look forward to the moment when that gavel is taken from your hands once more. I will be celebrating with many people to see America once more set free from your poison. I pray that it never happens again.
