Can’t sway this crowd

-

Wow! Reading Thursday’s letters to the editor, I was surprised by what a skeptical crowd there was in Hot Springs Village.

First, Kenneth Bridges says he is not sold and our elected representa­tives should go, which left me wondering on what source of informatio­n he was basing his opinion.

Then, Barbara Truesdell begins listing holes in the reform and finished by apparently indicating she is one of those who believe a person’s earnings belong to the government when she said “giving more to the few who don’t need it and taking away from the many who do.” In my experience, taxes take from those with income and give to those without sufficient income.

Finally, Peter Trabant rants about rewriting the Constituti­on so he would have to exist in a miserable state and thanks Don the con for stealing candy from a baby.

Tough crowd down in the Village. LARRY PARKS

Little Rock truly religious have shown additional support with orange lights outside. It is truly glorious to gaze upon all the shiny lights and see those Donald orange ones.

We’ve even planned a parade to celebrate the anniversar­y of his inaugurati­on. The theme will naturally be orange, and the Parade Master will dress like a big Cheeto.

Last night’s concert by the children brought tears to our eyes. Their “Oh Possum Poot, Oh Possum Poot (Christmas Tree)” was followed by the showstoppe­r, “Oh Little Town of Possum Poot (Bethlehem).” Truly inspiring.

After Christmas I will hunt up the professor and his crew of shady acquaintan­ces. I did discover that Mushroom Mama has a real name: Emma. With a bit of training, she could be a right good preacher for a stand-in longer and louder Emma. More anger. Merry Christmas, y’all!
