Letter to the editor: US being defeated from within

Centuries ago, China said the only way to defeat the U.S. was internally. It seems to be happening.

First our religious history was attacked — no more school prayer. The Ten Commandments can no longer be displayed on public property. Statues are now the target of those who want to defeat our country. Our history is our history. Like it or not, it’s the way our country came to be. The struggles and battles all shaped what we have become.

Our men and women in blue are now under attack. What will happen when we have no one to protect us? And those who are left have their hands tied so they can no longer do their jobs.

One party seems to believe in riots and blocks laws. Will we now train rioters on proper firearm and bomb safety so they will not harm themselves, just others? The whole U.S. economy should be socialized. Hatred and violence is the new norm.

Our young will look back on these days and see how we were defeated.
