A Letter To The Editor
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) | 12/18/09

Posted on 12/19/2009 11:12:01 AM PST by MplsSteve

The following letter to the editor was in yesterday's Minneapolis StarTribune. It's funny, has a holiday angle and more importantly, is completely accurate.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through D.C., Democrats were scheming how to abuse their constituency.

Cap and Trade, ObamaCare, Bailouts - which one shall we do?

And then they cried "We'll do them all - the people are fools! We can call it a "crisis" and "too big to fail".

Anyone else doing this would end up in jail. But not us, because we write all the laws. Golly, we're wonderful. We're our own Santa Claus!!!

On Klobuchar! On Franken! Just shove it down our throats.

We'll tell you how we like it when it's timke to cast our votes.


TOPICS: Government; Miscellaneous; Politics/Elections; US: Minnesota
KEYWORDS: captrade; govtspending; obamacare

Was this REALLY in the Red Star Tribune?

Who put the gun to the editorial editor’s head?

Yep it was.

However if I posted the link, then Freepers would have to wade thru a bunch of self-righteous liberal screeds.

In the holiday spirit, I decided to post only the letter.

"WHAT A SHOCK
Wow, a letter of the day tweaking democrats, how unusual. Is the normal editorial staff out on some politically correct, all inclusive, let's all feel good about ourselves festival?"
