I disagree with Trump represents threat to American democracy (Reading Eagle, Dec. 29). The Founding Fathers designed our republics Constitution so that no one not even the president could become an existential threat. Apart from external threats from China, Russia, Iran and radical Islam, an insidious internal threat is posed by corrupt, entrenched bureaucracies in both political parties, government agencies, organizations, and the media. This is fostered by a populace that is generally uninterested, apathetic, and condones immorality by our own oft-coerced amorality.<\/p>\n
Wherever theres power and money, corruption is inevitable. There are still some good men and women in politics, in government, in influential institutions and in the media. But we citizens must reaffirm that morality and the truth are not relative. We must reject media bias and partisan spin and abandon political correctness nonsense. This while voting in unity to make government service like military service sacrificial, modestly recompensed, term-limited and a patriotic duty, not a means by which people impose their will or divisive agenda upon others.<\/p>\n
