To the editor:

There has been so much rhetoric on opposing views on what is good and right for our country.

I respectively submit to the liberals that perhaps I have been misguided and obviously, blatantly wrong.

We should outlaw:

• Traditional marriage and all opposition to abortion.

• Freedom to choose your own health insurance.

• Being an American-born citizen to be-come a U.S. president.

• Christians and Jews and buffets and obesity.

• The U.S. Constitution and the American blood-stained flag.

• High-capped magazines and all guns.

• The death penalty for heinous crimes and mass murders.

• Republicans and God-fearing values.

• Natural gas and coal.

• High school football and wrestling.

• A balanced U.S. budget and Fox News.

• Waterboarding, but more drone strikes.

• Photo identification cards for voting.

• Yard sales and flea markets.

• U.S. manufacturing and beer drinkers.

• Flannel shirts and denim blue jeans.

• The investigations on the Benghazi cover-up.

If you believe this, I’d like to sell you the Jefferson Barracks Bridge.

I believe in the teachings of our Lord God Jesus Christ, the U.S. Constitution and the preservation of all the ideals and principles upon which the United States of America was built.

Our flag is no symbol. It is a monument to the blood of the patriots who shed blood and sacrificed so much blood and love and even death for the freedom so many have taken for granted.

God bless the USA.
