Regarding Sid Schwab’s Sunday column: Say it ain’t so, Sid!
I started reading Schwab’s column when we recently moved to Snohomish County, and metaphors abound. A breath of fresh air! An oasis in a desert! More to the point, he is a purveyor of reason and compassion in a world gone mad. He is right on: today’s Republicans, at least on the national stage, eschew everything most reasonable people stand for. As a party they have regressed to medieval themes, elevating ignorance and religion above all else. Obstruction is their weapon, power their only goal.
We need voices like Sids. Local voices, that can see beyond the beltway, who don’t drink the new Republican Kool-Aid. While it may seem like his message “doesn’t get through,” rest assured that many of us are listening and wholeheartedly support him! So, if he can’t be convinced to keep writing, at least accept this reader’s thanks!
