Physicist Wolfgang Pauli once evaluated the theories of a
student as "not even wrong" meaning they were so far off course as to
be unrelated. A recent letter entitled "Voters should ask hard
questions" falls within that descriptor as well.
One example is the
assertion that "allegations," (by which one assumes he means the interminable
obsession with Benghazi) surrounding
Hillary Clinton, are unresolved. If over
$20 million, 682 days, 7 investigations and 32 hearings all controlled by the opposition party in both
houses of Congress doesn't constitute thorough, then what does? To date political
enemies of former SecState Clinton have
spent longer attempting (and failing) to
smear her performance and her character than they did in investigating
Pearl Harbor, the JFK assassination, Hurricane Katrina, , and the Iran-Contra Scandal. In those last two under Republican Presidents' watches, investigators found a lot wrong.
Next is the statement
that Bernie Sanders' agenda is " a
continual slide toward secularism and the rule of man.....(etc)." In
another "not even wrong" moment, the writer is seemingly oblivious to
the fact that the founders went to great lengths to insure that they created a secular government. They would
be gratified to know that we remain so today, in spite of occasional fits and
starts of regression toward theocracy in the minds of some. I'd wager, however,
that the writer stridently supports the
death penalty, in spite of its obvious conflict with the sixth Commandment!
Finally the
writer lauds free market (free trade) as
"motivating self reliance, productivity and economic superiority." All this we watch real income of American workers remain
stagnant while jobs are shipped off shore and a significant portion of our debt
is held by foreign interests. Of course, foreign products are cheap at Walmart, America's largest retailer,
who used to proudly advertise "Made in America." Mr. Sam Walton would hang his head.
