Response to the Quad-City Times editorial of January 17, 2016

Why would you members of the Quad-City Times editorial board worry about the soul of the Republican Party?  You’re all Democrats!  Worry about your own party.  Worry about your own party that brought us the disaster of Obamacare and lied through your teeth about it.  Worry about the party that brought us “Fast and Furious” and the targeting of conservative groups through the IRS.  Worry about your own party that would love to incrementally take away more or our freedoms through an assault on the second amendment and your holy grail of cap and trade.  Worry about the party that has overseen the systemic weakening of the United States around the world.  Worry about your own party that has loaded up the United States with staggering amounts of debt that will never be repaid.  Worry about your own party that cannot manage Obamacare and the Veterans Administration.  What you call a right-wing hatefest is what others in America call free speech.  Do you remember that concept?  You and the other Democrats define anyone that disagrees with you about anything as a hater.  That’s pathetic.  I have read your newspaper for sixty years and I worked there for over twenty-eight years.  That editorial was pompous, arrogant and insulting.  If anyone who signed off on that editorial considers herself a Republican, and wants to defend her Grand Old Party from the likes of Trump and Cruz, then she is  operating in a foreign universe that most Republican voters will never recognize.
