Government overreach claim from anti-vaxxers is hypocrisy
So, the GOP has their pantyhose in a wad about the audacity of Joe Biden to want to end the pandemic, save thousands of lives and get the country on the road to recovery. They claim they are against vaccines because of the “misinformation” about the vaccine. Duh, the Republicans, and FOX News are the ones spreading the misinformation and badmouthing the science (a throwback from the prior president who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him).
Funny, they don’t think it is government overreach not to allow mask mandates in schools. It’s much better to expose and endanger (or kill) others or restrict what can be taught in school (they are against anything near the truth about their white supremacy). There’s no problem with their suppressing minorities’ constitutional right to vote, and the kicker, saying it is not government overreach to take away women’s right to make their own reproductive decisions.
Clean up your hypocrisy and stop condemning people who want to live. That is my constitutional right!!

Irreconcilable differences sometimes better solved by separation
After reading Leonard Pitts’ and Pat Buchanan’s opinion columns (Opinion, Sept. 5), I have begun to wonder if Abe Lincoln made a mistake in trying to preserve the union.
Today’s Republicans and Democrats are the ideological descendants of forebears who had very different views of America. I wonder what our country would have been like today if the Civil War had been fought only to free the slaves and move them to their promised 40 acres while allowing the Southern secessionists to secede. Blacks would have accumulated wealth, and there would have been no need for the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow, etc.
Both “Americas” might have enjoyed peace and harmony within their borders. Irreconcilable differences are sometimes better solved by separation without the bloodshed that some have suggested lately, such as U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C.
