Utopia not so smart

I was right with Theodore Shepard through the end of his first paragraph (“Voters are complicit, too,” April 8). Hard to argue with any of his well-stated issues.

However, it appears that something happened to his eyesight before he began the second paragraph. He apparently became blind in his left eye, because only his right eye was functioning thereafter.

Apparently, in his vision of America, all would be rosy today if, beginning with Woodrow Wilson, we just eliminated the voices of anyone who believes in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, personal freedom and liberty.

Then, with all authority and power securely in the hands of the wise utopian bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., all needs would be met (at no cost, of course), and nobody would have to think for themselves any longer because all decisions would be made by someone who is much smarter than you.

If you’re interested in an alternate view of an America under this type of administration, read “Ameritopia,” by Mark Levin. It may give you cause to think about the future of our constitutional republic before you vote in November.
