Letter to the Editor: Name Calling

Dear Editor,

Can any of you naysayers define Nazis , Fascists, Marxist, Communist, Islamist , or capitalism governance without Webster's dictionary? You use the words, but have n̈o idea what they mean.

Here is the rub. Why did so many risk everything to emigrate here from the 1700s until now. What were they looking for that they did not have? Answer before reading further. Who wishes to immigrate to Iran? If you do, GO! Nigeria? GO!

Minnesota, if the protesters stay home ICE can arrest the criminals without danger to themselves, think about it.

RS January 16, 2026, 12:15 pm Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. It is you who usually use those words to describe people who disagree with you.

On Dec. 10, you wrote about me, “You are not a deep thinker, no liberal/communist/Marxist/Socialist is. Your head is buried in this garbage.” You constantly refer to me with these adjectives. The only adjective that is correct about me is liberal (and I wear that one proudly). Do you ever see me attaching adjectives to you and believe me, several comes to mind?

FYI before you tell others what we know or don’t know and we should look up the definitions. Emigrate is to leave, immigrate is to arrive or come into.
