THE RIGHT THING

Regarding “Doing the Right Thing,” by Clancy Sigal (April 29): It is almost hilarious, but utterly appalling, that Young Americans for Freedom attack the ideology that provides them with license and the freedom to stand on their hind legs and howl. Were they alive at the time of the men who founded this country, these crankies would be soundly spanked, their mouths washed out with soap and sent back to King George’s England for some further seasoning.

This democracy is blessed in that it has not fallen prey to those who believe they are the only true patriots.
