I am backing Mr. Whittier’s fine letter he wrote. Frankly, he stated his opinion of the Gazette much more politely than I would have. 

Many of us with conservative values can not get past the opening lines of your left-wing views. This great country was founded on the principle of “One nation under God.” A united country is much better than a divided country. We are a nation of democracy. Socialism destroyed Venezuela and now is ruining France. 

Your paper shows little to no respect for people with conservative values. The USA is still the land of opportunity, and our president should be respected for his many accomplishments regarding economic matters. He is far from perfect, but he works hard and puts Americans first. Shame on this paper and others who never gave him a chance.

I hope your paper starts printing more positive news. You need many more articles written by conservatives. If you cannot respect conservative opinions, you do not belong in business.
