Your paper’s editorial ranting about a “dictatorship,” a “constitutional crisis” and your calls for impeachment against our president is unhelpful to our democratic process. The extreme left Democrats unbelievably fail to understand that a sea change took place in America in the 2024 election. Their egregious ideology was soundly rejected! The voters rejected defunding police, open borders, antisemitism and lawlessness in public educational institutions, woke culture, boys invading girls’ space, etc.
The majority of Americans want to downsize the government and rid our nation of unelected “deep state” bureaucrats who interpret and enforce policy decisions that should be made by Congress. Instead of ranting to your progressive base, you should encourage moderates in both parties in Congress to refine the president’s extreme processes (forgiving Jan. 6 criminals or misusing his power to prosecute perceived enemies).
Instead, support what we can agree on, such as protecting America from enemies abroad and at home, lifting the burden of debt on our children’s shoulders, and living within our means. Democracy works when we all communicate in a civil manner. Sean Dugan, Boynton Beach Kudos to Lauri Spector of Deerfield Beach for her letter to the editor in the Sun Sentinel.
She accurately described how Hitler positioned himself as the voice of the common man to bring Germany to greatness. His climb to power is astoundingly similar to Trump’s plans for America. When Hitler became chancellor in 1933, he appointed oligarchs as advisors.
Sound familiar? At the other end of the spectrum is Chuck Lehmann’s pathetic letter of March 17 where he implored other letter writers to stop comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler. Lehmann disparages the Sun Sentinel for printing letters that describe Trump’s true self and his determination to destroy democracy, once and for all. Why do such letters hit a sore spot for Mr.
Lehmann? Perhaps it’s because it’s the truth. Trump’s plans are clearly defined in Project 2025 — which he claimed he knew nothing about. But his cuts to government programs are putting our lives in harm’s way, militarily and medically.
I urge readers to support the Sun Sentinel and our free press, for only the truth can set us free. Esther Feit , Delray Beach The Trump administration’s war on literacy and erudition opens a sad chapter on the inverse and hostile relationship between knowledge and power. He would want us to believe that power, far from fostering ignorance, is animated by the “will to know.
” Trump insists that power gives itself the means to anticipate behavior, and consequently to govern the masses more effectively. In this fairy tale, knowledge is how the state takes over our lives, presenting itself as the institution that knows us better than we know ourselves. By promoting dissimulation and sanctifying mendacity, Trump’s tsarist regime works to silence knowledge.
The only truths likely to survive are the lies that flatter a coterie of power-starved mediocrities bent on fleecing the ignorant. Caveat emptor. W.
E. Gutman, Lake Worth Beach Hooray if our schools teach cursive writing again. We grandparents are sick of printing letters to our grandkids.
But there’s more to it than that. All through college, and adult life, I’m able to scribble notes faster in cursive. And does anyone print a love letter? Addressing some envelopes the other day, I realized that in two years I had better be printing only, as these kids who become mail carriers won’t be able to read the addresses.
