To the Editor:

Don Noltes 3/26/21 letter, Will we choose hate or love?, is an olio of all kinds of stuff. I hardly know where to begin, though it is important to know, at the outset, that he is a New York Times (NYT) junkie.

For starters, he stated, The grim reality of our life, the NYT editorial board wrote, is that each new mass killing leads to a fevered study of motives and meaning. Was the latest shooter motivated by racism, misogyny, religion, revenge or a combination thereof? Those are not questions that members of a healthy society should routinely be forced to ask or answer.

Apparently, he is unaware that the majority of people are inherently nosy. When a tragedy occurs they freely participate in or seek out any discussions about the causes of the sad events. Whats abnormal about that? Everybody has an opinion.

Further on, Nolte claims that the demagoguery of Donald Trump was responsible for the recent wave of domestic terrorism. No facts, no tie-ins, just a generalization.

Then, he stated that China was Trumps scapegoat for covering up his mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. All I can say about that is if Nolte doesnt recognize that China is the primary threat to Americas future welfare, he needs to have his senses examined, and to stop reading the NYT. It is leading him down the garden path.

Considering that Nolte has been brainwashed by the NYT, it is obvious that in his view, welcoming and settling hundreds of thousands of illegal southern border crossers in America, is a much higher priority item than worrying about the threat of China to Americas future.

Adolf Ochs who coined the NYT masthead phrase, All the news thats fit to print, in 1897, would spin in his grave if he knew what his newspaper is doing these days - it surely isnt following its own prerogative.

Nolte and the NYT preach the virtues of socialism (e.g. diversity), while damning capitalism as breeding bigotry and hatred for all. The America that we currently live in is the result of living under capitalism for 245 consecutive years. Looking at the same period of world history, it is seen that socialism always fails. Take your pick.
