Wow. That’s my first response to Andrew Fitzgerald’s letter to the editors trying to articulate his disappointment that they did not seem to have the same opinion as he during the campaign process. Do you realize you were angry that they were “trying to force their opinions on the reader” just as you’re trying to do to them? Duh.

Some of you staunch conservatives are amazing. Sometimes I think you don’t even listen to yourselves when you talk. President Bush won but not by a landslide. Even if it was a landslide, how dare you make the assumption that the president of the United States should mandate laws only for the majority? So, the minority means nothing? That’s a good opinion to hold. I guess Nazi Germany was right to kill the Jewish population because they weren’t the majority.

Why should homosexuals or women have the same rights as middle- and upper-Republican America? I mean, they’re only the minority, right? You can have your opinions, Mr. Fitzgerald, about the moral values of the “minority,” but why don’t you get off your high horse? Legislation is meant to keep order, not to mandate the moral code of individuals. Live your own life. As long as I’m not hurting anyone, no one can tell me how to live mine.
