Goyden letter: Hypocritical GOP
I find some irony in the Nov. 18 paper where on page 2A we read that there is to be a Rally for Solidarity with Refugees, while on 6A is the article revealing the intent of the GOP states, ours included, to block any Syrian refugees. Ironic, but not surprising that our state would do so.
There must be a great sense of fear among the GOP regarding the Syrian refugees. This is understandable but hypocritical. Many hundreds of people are killed here in the U.S. from guns but the GOP opposes and will not do anything that could help lessen that problem. Once again, money trumps lives for the GOP.
