LETTER: A great manifesto for the new hater

Thomas Hayden’s Saturday missive to the Review-Journal is a great manifesto for the new hater (“Time for Democrats to return the favor by dissing Trump”). I didn’t vote for Donald Trump — or, for that matter, Hillary Clinton — yet I struggle with Mr. Hayden’s “do as I say, not as I do” logic.

But here’s the great thing for Mr. Hayden and, I hope, public discourse in general: In the event that he can muster the intellectual horsepower to actually disagree with Mr. Trump’s policies rather than simply attack him on a personal level, at least he won’t face the identity politics police reminding him to check his racism any time he commits the thought crime of having a difference of opinion with the president.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
