To the editor: The last two presidential candidates put forward by the Democrats demonstrated nothing but disdain for the inhabitants of “flyover country.” In 2008 candidate Obama said: “You go into … a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years … ...

To the editor: Stupidity and hatred traverse the neighborhood, the region, the globe, in an instant. Wisdom and love cannot. These can only be sufficently communicated when we are in one another’s physical presence. I ask my visitors, if at all possible, to turn off their dumb-phones when ...
