FOCUS: Mass lying may be greatest danger to democracy

By Ruthy Lachman Paul  |  “You can lie to some people all the time, you can lie to all the people some of the time, but you can’t lie to everyone all the time.”  This saying is attributed to Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president of the USA, who abolished slavery after the victory of the Union army in the American Civil War.

ANOTHER VIEW: Outlines four ways to improve our democracy

By George Wilson |  In my view, we the people are frustrated, discouraged and worn out with all three branches of the United States government. These failures  have led to attacks on our judicial system and the rule of law by unsavory, power hungry and disgusting people.

ANOTHER VIEW: The way the GOP is going, democracy is in peril

By Jack Bernard  |  Turns out, Donald Trump successfully appealed to the uneducated working class. But not as an independent…as a Republican. And he completely ignored fiscal conservatism, zeroing in on wacko cultural issues instead. He is a spoiled New York City billionaire who had been a Democrat.

FOCUS: Our democracy may be in trouble with today’s poorer newspapers

By Raleigh Perry |  Coming from a family in Chattanooga with a lot of newspaper people in it and having a newspaper on my breakfast and dinner tables, I have an appreciation of the printed media.  There were two dailies.  The Times in the morning and the Free Press in the afternoon. One leaned left, the other right.
