Framers wouldn’t recognize U.S.

Dear Editor:

In today’s America everyone can be offended but Americans. We are a country of immigrants, legal immigrants.

We are a country formed around religion, the Christian religion. Our flag is the American flag, not our flag on the ground being stomped on or going up in flames — with the Supreme Court’s blessing — while being surrounded by flying Mexican flags, or sometimes ISIS flags, as if the fighting at the Alamo never ended.

Gays and transsexuals now have a place to go to the bathroom when in a public place. Where were they going before? Can’t teach religion in school, but can teach Muslim religious history. How do you teach religious history without teaching some type of religion?

We recognize a never-ending war on women, racism, poverty, drugs and now climate change, along with fighting for Islam. Why is it we don’t recognize the war on America, Americans, American lives, American language (English), American religions, our American jobs and businesses, our American culture and our American Constitution?

The framers of the Constitution would not recognize today’s America.

Sincerely,

Stephen Woodfin
