The Island News is better
Rich Republicans have been trying for years to get U.S. taxpayers to pay for their privileged kids to go to private schools. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a blatant attempt to screw middle income parents to benefit themselves.
SC judges: Foxes guarding the hen house. Lawyer legislators and senators appointing circuit and apellate judges that they try cases with? Much conflict of interest, don’t you think?
Aid to Ukraine has dropped 90% due to Republicans. And they have blocked military promotions for months. The so-called strong on defense party. I used to vote for you guys. But you’ve gone crazy.
Article honoring those that didn’t survive Pear Harbor. There are six survivors left that attended. Women went to factories to work and supply our troops. That’s why they are our greatest generation.
Just want to say I love The Island News and Beaufort Gazette. The Island News is better for Letters to the Editor, weekly columnists, and it’s free!

Let me give you some hints
In his December 7 column, Jim Dickson decries his potential loss of freedom because some “radical left” college students promote ideas and beliefs that differ from his. Mr. Dickson, I have some questions for you in this regard:
- Who is responsible for eroding the reproductive rights of millions of Americans? (Hint – it’s not the radical left.)
- Who promises to take decent, affordable health care away from millions of Americans? (Hint – it’s not the radical left.)
- Who seeks to roll back the Marriage Equality Act and other laws that protect LGBTQ Americans? (Hint – it’s not the radical left.)
- Who gutted the Voting Rights Act? (Hint – it’s not the radical left.)
- Who has been found guilty, time and time again, of egregious gerrymandering to tilt elections in their favor? (Hint – it’s not the radical left.)
- Who advocates for taking the vote away from Americans younger than age 25? (Answer – Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican presidential candidate.)
- Who advocated for restricting voting to people with children because “they’re the only ones with skin in the game?” (Answer – Republican Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio.)
- Who is behind the latest book banning fever? (Hint – it’s not the radical left.)
- Who promised to weaponize the DoJ and the military to target his political enemies if he’s elected President in 2024? (You really shouldn’t need a hint on this one.)
Mr. Dickson, while you may feel threatened by the beliefs of some “radical left” college students, most people realize that the real threat to our most basic freedoms comes from folks on the far right. They are the true enemies of freedom.
