Conservative values

Ms. Brenda Tirrell’s letter in your Nov. 8 Voices caught my eye. Her letter seems to imply that if only people were more educated they would vote Democrat. Seems a bit odd coming from a Hot Springs Village resident where folks are mostly highly educated and overwhelmingly conservative.

Perhaps Ms. Tirrell should consider that her elitist attitude is one big reason the current Democratic Party is on the decline. I believe most folks, educated or not, want smaller, more efficient government, lower taxes, secure borders, strong military, law and order, judges that interpret the Constitution, economic prosperity, and believe in the sanctity of life, and other conservative values.

A couple of years of parading Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer and others to the voters can only benefit the majority of our citizens who identify with conservative values. Yes, indeed, education is certainly the key!

House of Representatives’ bill, which makes harmful cuts and changes to SNAP, the U.S. Senate actually strengthened the program.

That’s the vision we need. Our soldiers have sacrificed enough. We cannot jeopardize their health and well-being by taking away their food assistance through cuts to SNAP. DENNIS WIGHTMAN
