It was 246 years ago this country was founded. Happy Fourth of July. And what do we have? We have a mass shootings. We have gun control, sorely needed in this country. Unbelievable, we’re the world leader of gun violence. And we have Joey Chestnut, promoting gluttony with his hot dog eating contest. What kind of the country do we live in? Seriously, let’s take a look and understand what is going on.

A recent Clarence Page column speaks of the dangers of political parties, according to our first president. Washington feared when Americans voted along party lines, rather than common interest, it would foster a spirit of revenge. When did compromise become a sign of weakness?

How can Lightfoot’s heart ache for the police officers when she doesn’t even have one. And if there is one there, it’s full of hate and racism with the likes of her and Brown and Fox and Pritzker and Durbin. And some of the so-called reverends. Chicago is a ghetto ghost town. Such a shame and so disgusting whatever happened to a once-great city. And unfortunately, I was born and raised a Democrat

I’d like to thank Dan Lipinski for sharing his viewpoints of today’s political parties with the Southtown’s readers and thank the editors for giving him the opportunity to voice his opinions. It’s encouraging to know that some politicians have enough integrity to follow their convictions. Dan, I’ll gladly sign a petition if you decide to run as an independent for Congress. Our country needs more people like you in power.

One way to increase Cook County voter participation would be to summon those who haven’t voted for jury duty.

Depending on which side you’re on, Carl Leubsdorf’s column, “High court’s majority is here to stay,” points out that no one person is to thank or blame for the Supreme Court’s recent rulings. All have been a decadeslong culmination of political power or lack of it, appointments and the personal decisions of longtime justices. Well written.
