Letter to the editor about a liar

Leonard Adame opened his letter of 3/16 with, "My mother said never speak ill of the dead. OK, I won't. . ." Then, he proceeded to excoriate William F. Buckley Jr. and Ronald Reagan, both of whom are, indeed, dead. Therefore, Adame is a self-righteous liar. I am allowed to say that without answering to his mother or mine, because he is alive, although he does have a fragile grasp of reality.

Commenting upon what Adame said about those two fine Americans, who were far more significant and influential than he, would only give validation to the words of a man who respects neither his mother's wisdom nor the United States of America. Asking him to apologize would also be futile. I know, because I've asked him to before.
