Letters to the Editor

Pizza anyone?

 

There’s so much wrong with the story of the Ft. Pierce pizza man. First of all, who with any sense of decorum, or respect, puts a bear hug on the president? Secondly, why is the media wasting so much time on the issue? Finally, why are people calling the pizza man, Scott Van Duzen, a traitor and boycotting his business? Has the whole world gone nuts?

Whatever happened to the right to disagree and why do so many people feel they have the right to insult people who don’t agree with them?

I hear people giving Pres. Obama all kinds of labels, such as Socialist, and yet, they don’t see how dictatorial their own behavior is. They complain that their rights are being taken away, even though they can’t seem to name one, and yet they deny others the most basic rights on which our country was formed.

I am free because I live in the United States of America, and if you try to tell me what to think and what to say and what to do, you are the offender, not I.
