Letters to the Editor

Letter: The evidence of genocide is clear

January 18, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It’s not surprising that James Ault denies the existence of Indigenous people (“There are no indigenous peoples,” Our Readers’ Views, Jan. 13). It is one of the tactics of genocide deniers; if a people didn’t exist, there’s no genocide even if they were murdered out of existence. Read story

Letter: Open eyes to carnage in Middle East

January 18, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

“There is no man so blind as he who will not see.” Read story

Letter: NRA peddles fear

January 17, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Dictionary defines Indigenous

January 17, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

We all know of, and many have used, the Oxford English Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Read story

Letter: Republicans ignore duty to country

January 17, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I’m old enough to remember when the Republican Party told then-President Nixon to resign. There had been no indictment, no court case, no impeachment. But the GOP knew that Nixon had perpetrated a criminal action by authorizing the break-in of Democratic headquarters. Read story

January 17, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: A balm for unfounded worries

January 16, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

A recent letter to the editor (“We’re in this together,” Our Readers’ Views, Jan. 5) said writer Patty Page was offended by window decals on two vehicles driving on Mill Plain. One said, “The strongest weapon in the United States is a patriotic American.” The other: “If this flag offends… Read story

Letter: Cheney speaks the truth

January 16, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I can’t remember when I agreed with her policy-wise. And I definitely disagreed with her father and opposed his controversial actions. But Liz Cheney, with her new book, “Oath and Honor,” is certainly again my No. 1 hero. She shows once more she is the rare prominent Republican who really… Read story

Letter: St. James not always welcoming

January 16, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

While I appreciate Ms. Donnelly’s vigor lauding the historical significance of St. James Proto-Cathedral as a “stand alone” place of worship in the upcoming merger of local Catholic churches (“Parishioners stand firm for St. James,” The Columbian, Jan. 6), it might serve this faith community and Ms. Donnelly better to… Read story

January 16, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I support Battle Ground Public Schools’ capital levy. This levy will pay for important repairs and updates at the same rate as the bond measure that expired at the end of 2023. Given the age of Battle Ground schools and the need to repair roofs and HVAC systems, as well… Read story
