Comments attacking GOP were shameful

I am responding to Curtis Hewston’s recent letter containing shameful comments regarding Republicans and some of their conservative beliefs. Hewston calls Republicans “uneducated, unfair, unpatriotic, hypocritical,” etc. because some of us believe in such outlandish things like: teaching creationism in public schools, capital punishment and that abortion is a form of murder. 

What’s “unfair” with teaching creationism in school alongside evolution and the “big bang” theory, and then letting the students decide for themselves? What’s “hypocritical” about using capital punishment to keep violent criminals from terrorizing our society by murdering innocent people? What’s “unpatriotic” about wanting to protect the “right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” of the most innocent among us, the unborn?
