Make America Great Again. Really?
Make America Great Again. Really?
To the editor: In her new book “Attack From Within,” University of Michigan law professor Barbara McQuaid writes: “Make America Great Again implies a wish to return to what some may consider the good old days, when white men were dominant, women were subservient, and people of color were pushed to the lower rungs of society.” No thanks. President Biden closed his recent State of the Union Address with this: “The issue facing our nation is not how old we are, it’s how old are our ideas. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM
Humans … devalued
Humans … devalued
To the editor: Fervent Democrat support for abortion, including late term, continues to ignore an inconvenient truth: abortion stops a beating heart. We must not follow Satanist Aleister Crowley’s dictate, “Do what thou wilt!” Instead, we should adhere to basic humanity, guided by Jesus’ teachings of love and compassion for human life, even when that requires great personal sacrifice. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

To the editor: While visiting our children and grandchildren in Texas, imagine my disappointment to see two Leelanau leaders standing behind Donald Trump in Grand Rapids. Both Representative Bergman and Sheriff Borkovich were standing in support of the former president as he spoke cruel and incendiary words about human beings who are risking their lives to reach safety in the United States of America. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

To the editor: The plethora of letters in the Enterprise that continue to warn of political hate-laced speech, discordant rhetoric, dictatorship, and threats to truth are convoluted and ill-informed. In a recent CNN interview, speaking from experience, Robert F. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

Bingham continues blight ordinance discussion
Bingham continues blight ordinance discussion
The Bingham Township Board meeting on Monday was unusually well attended as about 10 township residents were in the audience. Most of them took the opportunity to participate in the board’s ongoing discussion in a blight ordinance that would allow the township to address garbage and junk on township properties without waiting for complaints from its neighbors. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich calls people who disagree with him and express those opinions via our First Amendment rights, haters? Is that right? Many residents were upset that he appeared with Trump, in uniform, tacitly endorsing his violent rhetoric aimed at immigrants, representing Leelanau County. A real leader, would give a more thoughtful response to this criticism. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM
