Obama’s ‘Promised Land’

To the Editor:

The insurrection directed by Donald Trump against the U.S. Capitol has prompted me to begin Barack Obama’s recent memoir, “The Promised Land.”

I look forward to reading of a time when America had a decent, intelligent and honorable president worthy of the respect and admiration of its citizens.

That is my plan for getting through the remaining days of this nightmare presidency. What’s yours?

NORTHRUP: Sedition Is Part Of American History – But Some Learn Lessons

LETTER from CHIP NORTHRUP Sedition Is Part Of American History – But Some Learn Lessons To the Editor: Sometimes sedition is a good thing. Sometimes, not so much. My family are experts in sedition and revolution. We may in fact be some of the most revolting people in America. When sedition wins, history, which is written by the winners, proclaims you a hero. When sedition fails, history proclaims you a traitor. Our first seditious loss came in North Carolina, where, as colonials, we joined The Regulators, in a localized tax revolt against Great Britain in 1771. We lost that one,…
