LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | How to bring our house together


January 4, 2013 · Updated 3:50 PM 

To the editor:

Porn, mass murder, abortion and personal comfort.

Looks to me that we have two choices of how to deal with America and the problems we seem to be having. There is a war between these two. Until we choose a firm stance on one or the other, our divided house will continue to fall.

Either we continue to have a free nation with limited government, where our strength lies in personal responsibility that is supported by a deep moral and religious conviction rooted in God; or, we allow government to usurp our position and fix our ills as we reject any moral rudder rooted in either religion or belief in a creator, claiming separation of church and state. The latter gives power to the few, the former gives power to the many. Your choice, America.
