LETTER: A stark choice on Tuesday

…. Words have consequences, and Trump’s hate laced rhetoric has made bigotry acceptable, unleashing a wave of anti-Semitism which went underground following the horrors of the Holocaust.To quote an October 19 article in The New York Times, “Anti-Semitism has been resurgent in Europe for years. But it has taken on a new dimension in the United States with the emergence of the Trump campaign, whose battle against political correctness has provided a kind of on-ramp for bigotry to enter the political mainstream.”

Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League, quoted in that same article said, “What I worry about is that this portends something very dangerous for our democracy. The bigger story is the threat to free speech and the threat to a free press.”

We are faced with a stark choice on Tuesday. Regardless of party affiliation, we shall be voting for or against the principles of democracy, fair play and decency which have made us the most blessed people in the world. I shall be voting enthusiastically for Hillary Clinton, confident that she will guide this country to an even brighter, more secure future for us all.

  1. Trump has been off a prompter most of this campaign. We have seen who he is for real. Now his bosses have him so sweet on a prompter. WE Know you, Mr TRUMP. YOU ARE NOT FOOLING US IN THESE LAST FEW DAYS And few days left. We all know Donald Trump from the inside out. We all know what the health community says about him. We all know what many sane minded republicans say about him. We all know what we have seen ourselves. Absolutely nothing has been proven the emails ever endangered the USA. Compare that mistake to Trump’s outright mistakes that hurt people. Five ex Presidents don’t like him. Thoughtful and respectful words out of Trumps mouth could put down a lot of hate and unrest. He and he alone is responsible for much of the talk of rigging and an uprising. He delights in being Emperor. CLEAN OUT R CONGRESS. SEND TRUMP HOME. VOTE BLUE.

  2. Make America great again: Back to the time when our leader and his administration followed and enforced our laws and constitution. It is against the law to support and encourage illegals in this country. The sanctuary cities are ALL breaking our laws.

    We need to go back to a time when our citizens came first and we knew that our president was doing everything in his power to protect us from terrorists.

    We need to go back to a time when our first responders and military personnel was held in the highest regards.

    We need to go back to a time when our schools were NOT under constant threat because of political correctness and could teach our real history without criticizing our actions. All countries have times in their history that they are not pleased with, but it is sad when children are taught to disrespect our country.. Our schools rate 48th in the world. Worst than some third world countries.!

    Go back to a time when we had plenty of manufacturing jobs for our CITIZENS that want to work.

    Go back to a time when everyone did NOT depend on government support in order to eat and actually were able to survive without assistance from the government.

    Go back to a time when people of religion did NOT have to defend their right to practice their religion.
    The list is too long to continue.

    What do you think is great about our country and our lives in today’s world?

    I support DONALD TRUMP because I truly believe that our nation is in danger of being like France, Germany and other nations that are not protecting their countries. They are being destroyed within by Moslems.

    With the present administration , our country has been attacked by radical Muslims , that were vetted! We need to remember 9-11 and honor ALL the people that died by securing our country. Hillary wants to bring in 500x more refugees, increasing the likelihood of more attacks! We have a national debt of nearly 20TRILLION DOLLARS, more than ALL previous presidents combined. This fact along should encourage us to take care of our financial situation , before we take on more debt. Who do you think supports our refugees ?? We do! 90% are on some government support including financial help.

    It is about Trump’s stand to follow the law and put AMERICAN CITIZENS first!
    This is the Main reason we will vote TRUMP into office.. America First!!!!

    ROBERT FIELD: The above call is eloquent but misdirected. She says “We need to go back…” She wants a world like the 1960s – 1980s. Perhaps she forgets that there were big problems then also, including the threat of nuclear anlihilation. But in any case, there is no going back in history.

    Geo-political circumstances, economic evolution, cultural changes occur. We need leadership that will guide us successfully into the future, not try to take us back to an imaginary past.

  3. Great reason to cancel my Lancaster Newspaper subscription. I will be supporting Trump because the actions of Hillary are far more dangerous than the rhetoric of Trump.

  4. I really don’t believe Trump is antisemitic since his daughter (top adviser) converted to be a orthodox Jew. Plus I am pretty sure I read several articles that Israel prefers him over Hillary. Just things I have read.
