Frakes: 'We're in teh money, and it's all free, and more is coming
To the Editor:
Halleluia! We’re in the money! We’re in the money! And it’s all free! And more coming!
What do we get with this free money? The warm fuzzies! All of us, especially the upper crust ruling class in D.C., get the warm fuzzies from helping out our fellow Americans who are trapped in incalculable suffering and starvation.
We all know that no taxpayer, now breathing, will ever pay a penny off of the national debt so future generations are footing our warm fuzzies. It’ll probably be ten thousand billion dollars more debt in just this little panic. We will be lucky to even pay the interest.
As dedicated and honest as the upper crust ruling class is, I’m sure they went the extra mile and polled our yet to be great-grandkids to ask if they would foot the bill for our warm fuzzies. I’m sure they said yes because I’m sure they got the warm fuzzies from helping the “old folks” get the warm fuzzies.
We also know that a bunch of our yet to be great-grandkids will end up in the medical waste dumpster behind the abortion clinic. But, thanks to us, they had a chance at the warm fuzzies before they got snuffed.
Now I’m really getting an attack of the warm fuzzies. I think we should all have an extra scoop of ice cream with our dessert tonight!

Nelson: 'We will keep masking up and doing what is right'
Dear citizens of Rock County,
We have been reading Todd Meinerts’ weekly letters to the editor, and we feel it should be known there are many of us who do not agree with hisopinion.
However, he is correct that we are not all in this together.
It seems as though it is those of us willing to consider the safety of others versus those who are not.
If we all worked together, we could have been done with this by now. Wear amask. Stay home if you can. However, we are more than a year in with overhalf a million deaths in the United States. There are still individuals andbusinesses who refuse to wear masks. Why? For “personal freedom”?
Amazing how the “my body my choice” argument suddenly applies to anti-maskers, but certainly not when it comes to a pregnant woman’s choices.
You can make the choice not to wear a mask, but the unsuspecting person you infect with COVID did not get to choose. You chose for them. Is that freedom?
Meinerts asked if we would know we were in a pandemic if not for the media.
Ask our medical professionals and first responders who live the horrors of COVID every day. Ask the countless people who have lost loved ones to COVID.Ask someone with a compromised immune system. Better yet, ask someone with achild with a compromised immune system.
In his letter, Meinerts suggested the “Democrats in the sea of red” justleave. But it is attitudes like this that only serve to further divide us.
We are husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, friends, business owners, and neighbors. We grew up in Luverne, and we are transplants. We are people you see every day. We are raising our children to be open-minded andcompassionate. Our children know the importance of kindness, even when youdisagree with someone.
We will keep masking up and doing what is right. Despite our politicaldifferences, we still care about all human beings.
We’re not going anywhere.
Rae Nelson one the of the Democrats in the Red Sea
Meinerts: 'We are not in this together'
To the Editor:
Mr. Green, we are not in this together. It seems there are two sides; those who choose to live in fear while wearing a mask, social distancing, and being in isolation and those of us who choose to go on with life as normal.
After the initial fear perpetrated by the government, CDC, and media, we discovered it was just a virus like the flu that happens every year. It was not a dark year for all, with all of society suffering. We found places to eat and shop that aren’t mask Nazis and will continue supporting them in the future.
Thank you, businesses that were patriotic. The financial future of this country looks bleak to me if we don’t end all this craziness. We need to pump our own oil, shut the borders, quit being offended by plastic toys, syrup and the like, and fix the election process. We need to trust the science of only two genders and our climate is fine. I hope your shot that was not backed by years of clinical trials and research gives you comfort.
As far as the voice of Biden you mentioned, I’ve heard it and it’s a rambling, incoherent, unintelligible bunch of nonsense. Quite embarrassing actually.

God bless America!
