Letters to the Editor for "Tear Down This Icon"

Two weeks ago, I wrote the first article in over a year for Townhall.com.

Tear Down This Icon: Replace Reagan with Trump

Here are two letters I received in response:

Whew! This is silly in the extreme. Trump was a fine president but he did not defeat Russia , crush the Dems, popularize Republicans or stay in office for 12 years (Bush was gifted the White House then blew it). The 12 years was a vital. The Donald did not give that to us. Not necessarily his fault but facts are facts. This effort by you is a monumental waste of time and print. We need Republican icons ,not fewer. Reagan as icon does nothing to detract from Trump so stop setting up a battle that only Dems will enjoy.

Russell Falconer

And here's another letter I received today!

Dear Mr. Schaper,

I recently read your article titled “Tear down this icon and replace with Trump…” and I felt it absolutely necessary to write and personally thank you for taking the time to write and publish this article of factual information.  I’m a writer and in all honestly it was a pleasure to read something about President Trump  that was positive and filled with facts and compliments, not facetious, insulting, & malicious, minutia.  I get most of my news from NewsMax TV.  However, I also read a lot of articles that show up in my inbox and for the most part, they are filled with lies and ambiguous opinions that are all spewed from the mouths of idiots who know absolutely nothing about anything!  

President Trump has done more for this country than any other President and it’s about damn time all of the Republicans get in sync with one another, throw away their stupid egos, and stand united as ONE PARTY, with President Trump as our #1 Leader!  I am fed up with the LEFTISTS and THE DEMOCRATS getting away with all sorts of criminal acts while the Republicans sit around and spend too much time on issues that are the least of our problems.  While most Republicans feel that the “abortion” issue was a win -win and a victory, they spent too much time discussing it when it’s an issue I personally  feel should not be part of a political stance.  This was just one example.  

There’s much more I can write  about when it comes to President Trump.  And  while I did my part both in 2016 and the 2020 elections by working as a digital activist for the Trump Campaign, now more than ever, I want to fight with ALL of my being to help President Trump (more-so) and the Republican party; provided that there are no more Republicans who turn their back on President Trump.  Otherwise, I can no longer support the GOP.  

Sincerely,

Madonna Gallis

Letters to the Editor: Jordan Peterson Article in Townhall.com

Responses to: Jordan Peterson, Celebrity Intellectuals, and the Counsel of the Ungodly

Thanks for your article on the above. While I agree that one should not take Peterson ‘hook, line and sinker’, I think I’m less concerned with his present fence-sitting. I am confident that if Peterson remains dedicated to the truth, he will find the Truth, perhaps sooner than his stated three years. Many honest truth-seekers have done so, as long as they stay honest (eg Lee Strobel). It would seem that Luke’s gospel came about in that very fashion (Lk 1:3) and even encouraged other “lovers of God” to do the same (v 4).

Hey Arthur, 

I am a new fan of your weekly columns on TownHall. I'm sad that Maxine Waters hasn't been in the national news lately because I thoroughly enjoyed your lampoons on her. Oh I'm sure she'll be back in the news for the sole purpose of impeaching our President. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I have been pleasantly surprised by your last few columns. It's a rare thing to find any columnist who understands biblical theology and quotes its passages accurately. It has been refreshing to read your biblical take on the ills of our secular and depraved society. 

I agree with you whole-heartedly. I have one suggestion for you that may help your readers understand the Bible better. Use a modern translation when quoting scripture. I know that the King James is a great translation but most modern people don't speak the King's English and are a little weirded out by the "thees" and "thous". I propose that you quote from one of these 3: NAS, NIV, NLT.

It might make it easier for your readers to stay interested and actually become more biblically literate than they already are. 

Thank you.

Letters to the Editor About Jimmy Kimmel Appearance and Article

The outpouring of support for me and the rest of our team on the Jimmy Kimmel show has been incredible.

Yesterday, I was walking through South Torrance. I stopped in a restaurant to pick up something, and one of the patrons at the counter recognized me from the Jimmy Kimmel segment. I was really glad that more people around the country can know how to stand up to these left-wing bullies. There is no reason for any American to feel ashamed that we don't want to put up with more illegal immigration in our country.

Here are some other letters I have received over the past few days following the MAGA vs. DACA segment:

Dear Mr. Schaper, 

I enjoy reading your articles. I especially enjoyed the Kimmel segment you did. I normally refuse to watch the SOB but this was worth it. I have a low tolerance for ignorance but I do continue my search for a Liberal that is capable of independent thought and can speak using Fact, Truth, and lacks “groupthink mentality”. I am writing you to see if you have a Facebook page that I can follow. I am NOT a twitter person. AND I am NOT some Liberal troll baiting you with nonsense. I am a Constitutional Conservative Independent that voted for OUR President and posted a photo of his ballot on his Facebook page. 

Really pissed of the Liberals in my small community. They tried to stop me saying it was supposed to remain confidential. I told them a federal judge said I could do it and made clear who I voted for. You could hear a pin drop in the room. I will begin flying my TRUMP “Make America Great Again” flag when I recover from an upcoming procedure. It is sure to piss people off yet again! As a disabled Veteran it is nice to have a real Commander in Chief back in the office after such a long time!

That man has no shame!  I read your article and watched the clip and not surprisingly he didn’t show you or any of the ladies speaking very much at all-only the older gentleman who seemed the least compassionate. 

The obvious answer for that DACA recipient is to get married if she is so desperate to stay here. Why that discussion wasn’t fully showed is exasperating but not surprising. 

Jimmy Kimmel is an a**hole. 

Good luck with what you do. I don’t know how you stand it in California.

In this letter, a follower of mine in Virginia shared this video with me, which details how triggered the Left has become, including this wannabe commentator on YouTube.

I may disagree with you on DACA and other immigration policies, but do these virtue signaling creeps really think they're helping their cause?

Great work on the Kimmel show. You represented the silent majority well.

Thank you.

FYI:

The article is Trending #1 AGAIN on Townhall!
