Outrage does no good

Sat., May 17, 2014

Thanks to Rick Johnson for writing the letter (May 11) I wanted to write. He hits the nail on the head when he points out how the Republicans and Fox News continue outrages toward this administration but ignore the outrage-worthy foibles of the past two Republican regimes.

Whatever happened in Benghazi, it does no good to spend money and time beating it into the ground. What good does such outrage do for our country?

I think some of it falls just short of treason.
