Letters to the Editor for Nov. 23, 2017

Guest column justifies reader’s vote for Trump

I very much enjoyed the recent guest editorial (Nov. 9, 2017 on page A4 of the Camas-Washougal Post-Record) by Mel Gurtov, professor emeritus of political science at Portland State University. It was a delightful litany of the most often expressed “trigger” phrases used to demean me, and people like me, who, unlike emeritus college professors, actually work for a living. Who believe that the U.S. Constitution is the second-finest guidance document ever written by human beings. Who understand that America is not a democracy, but instead is a constitutional republic. And moreover, understand why the difference is important.
