Dear Editor:
Our city officials and the local clergy have had ample time to deal with the obscene flag flying beside the Perry Plaza. If they fail to address the problem soon, I’m going to write every newspaper within a 300-mile radius. This is what I’m going to say.
“This letter is based on a simple principle: Conservatives have to own what they condone.
If you’re thinking about visiting Perryville, Missouri, to see the beautiful Lady of the Barrens grotto, don’t stop there, come to town, check out the Republican cussing class on Kingshighway, two-tenths of a mile west of the Immanuel Lutheran Church.
If you’re thinking about visiting our Veterans Memorial, you’ll be a hop and a skip from the Conservative effort to build vocabulary through vulgarity, just across from the Perry Plaza (63775).
Cussing class runs 24/7, but the best time to observe the phenomena is on a weekday morning about 7:20, when children line up before the four-letter word to catch the school-bus. Linger, count the yellow buses passing by. Ponder the paradox of teaching children the importance of rules at school while coming and going they learn that Republicans are not bound by common-sense restraints.
If you visit the Memorial after class, there’s another paradox to ponder. A majority of this monument building community voted for a man who stood before a Wolrd War II battleground graveyard, referring to the heroes beneath the cross as ‘suckers and losers.’
