To the editor:This is in response to Robert Polack Jr.'s falsely portraying the Democrats and liberals as poor, innocent victims. He is mistaken in saying that the parties he mentioned have "generally respected" the views from the other side. One way to find out about your family history has always been to run for a political office.

He is right, though, about conservative talk radio, which was dead until Rush Limbaugh gave it the momentum that America needed. Limbaugh became the unofficial voice of the Republican Party and since 1988 has exposed the faults of the Left. Now, Polack views this as demonizing. But to each his own, especially since the m and Al Sharpton is the fact that Limbaugh uses cold, hard facts and does not manipulate the material. Of course, using facts in an argument is not something the Left like to do. They want to tell us what they think or how they feel.

The problems in our country started in the 1960s with the Fondas and the young Clintons. Obviously, this was many years before Limbaugh came on the air nationally and became an icon for Cape Girardeau and Missouri.

Let's face it, the Rhodeses, Moores and Sharptons tell us how it might be. Limbaugh tells it how it is.
