Letter to editor, from Kimball Shinkoskey
Here are a couple sturdy proofs that President Biden is teetering on the brink of moral consciousness.
First, there is his gleeful rush to declare Trump as the presumptive Republican nominee in 2024.
This is a very tasty political cookie for Democrats, but it is laced with fentanyl. Biden clearly believes felons can be on the ballot, and that he can beat one. In fact, CBS’s legal expert Rikki Klieman recently announced felons can run for the presidency and hold the office in America. (Face the Nation, 2-18-24)
However, do we really want a felony conviction to become the new badge of courage to replace military service, patriotism, family life, and honest business dealings at election time? This is a death wish for democracy. People who understand rule of law need to get busy with legislation and court cases. We can’t reward criminals with political plums.
Here is another Biden death wish. Catholic Biden is currently championing a 21st century Crusade against Muslim civilians living in the Holy Land, just like European Catholics engaged in a thousand years ago. Another cheap way to win votes from ignorant Americans at election time?
