Civil servants shouldn’t work against Trump
In Nicholas Kristof’s column (“Can we stand up to Trump and win? Experts show way,” Opinion, April 20), he writes about workshops for anti-Trump activists and says that similar sessions have been held for civil servants in Washington. This implies that civil servants, ie: government employees, are attending workshops to learn how to disrupt and disobey anything President Trump tries to do with which they do not agree. Any civil servant that attends one of these workshops should be fired immediately. President Trump is their ultimate boss and in the real world, if you disobey the boss or try to disrupt what he is trying to do, you will be fired. If they do not like what President Trump is trying to do, they should be honest enough to refuse to take a pay check and resign. As Obama told John McCain, ” Get over it John, you lost.”

Douthat a hypocrite and Catholic partisan
Ross Douthat is smugly hypocritical and arrogant when he casts theological aspersions on liberal Protestant churches that have lost members over the years (“America needs its lapsed Protestants back in church,” Opinion, April 18). First of all, how can a political conservative like Douthat be a Catholic? The number one fear of conservatives is central, concentrated, hierarchical power which flows down. That perfectly describes the Roman Catholic Vatican with its concentration of power in the Pope. Yet Douthat proceeds to lecture Protestants on theology. This is sheer arrogance on the part of Douthat who has revealed himself to be a Catholic partisan. If the AJC is going to carry a Catholic partisan like Douthat, it should also carry a Protestant partisan.
