Letter to an editor

After another long, rambling commentary on what Donald L. Ward perceives is wrong with America, in the next to the last paragraph, he hits upon the truth. He refers to "our desperate and eager work force." If that were only a reality.

Over the years, a series of debilitating liberal actions have created a large community of entitlement dependents who are eager NOT to work. So, after Ward has been blaming the government and the politicians, it turns out it's the people who could bring the country down. Those Americans who won't do the work immigrants will, have to become those "desperate and eager" workers that Ward imagines.

When the people repudiate the free-ride mentality, reject government largess, and restore self-respect and self-determination, America will regain the respect of the world. Then, and only then.
