Letter: Mansperger op-ed was a courageous article

Kudos to Mark Mansperger for another courageous opinion column (TCH, Jan. 31) and to the Tri-City Herald for continuing to publish his knowledgeable and thoughtful articles.

There will be many negative letters to the editor about this one for his use of the word “fascist.” A word that in the past we have applied to other countries.

He has pointed out how these principles are now and have been used in the past to erode our democracy — or should I say republic.

What has happened to good old American common sense?
