The U.S. is much like North Korea

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 — I’m really worried about North Korea’s new leader, Kim Jung Un. He is now the leader of a country that is a … nuclear power.

Kim Jung Un had no military experience whatsoever, before his father made him a four star general in the military.

This is a no-nothing twerp who has never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership.

He hasn’t even so much as led a Cub Scout Pack, coached a sports team or commanded a military platoon. So guess what … North Korea makes him the “Beloved Leader” of their country.

How stupid is that?

Oh, forgive me, I’m sorry. It just dawned on me that we did the same thing right here in the good ol’ USA.

We took an arrogant no-nothing, who has never worn a uniform, not even a Boy Scout uniform, and made him commander-in-chief. A guy who has never had a real job, worked on a budget, met a payroll or led anything other than an ACORN demonstration, we made him the leader of the free world.

Now how stupid is that?

I’m sorry I even brought Kim Jung Un up.

Help us make our arrogant no-nothing a one-term mistake.

    This letter is for staff writer Ian Faulkner. You do not seem to think the threat from North Korea is serious. Read your history of war. I’m glad that our country takes it serious.

  • Applauding the commissioners

    In response to the recent article by Brian Graves regarding Clean Tech, I think that our county commissioners should be commended for their stand against Clean Tech’s offering jobs in exchange for Alcoa to be relicensed to operate the hydro dams on the Yadkin-Pee Dee.

    The government has a problem with the budget. Why? The Republicans and the Democrats blame one another. Why? Don’t they both spend the money? Foolishly.
