Letters

A truly repressive and unjust regime in Russia or China doesn’t even have to collude with America’s progressive educators to undermine its greatest enemy.

Rahm Emanuel writes about how he sued unpopular companies, levied taxes and imposed fines—all without providing a shred of evidence that this accomplished anything other than filling Chicago’s coffers.

It is amusing to see Mr. Lemann and others on the left wax nostalgic about the U.S. economy in the 1950s when privileged, white, male technocrats in government colluded with privileged, white, male CEOs to generously share corporate profits with union employees.

Missing from the response to Mr. McGurn’s prescient admonition is any indication of awareness that pro-lifers are animated, not by racial preferences, but by a sincere, shared and oft-articulated desire to prevent living, judicially innocent individuals from being butchered.

While they are worked up over gun violence and climate change, I think most of us would be more comforted if they focused on the 350,000 Americans the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports die prematurely at the hands of the medical profession each year—far dwarfing any deaths from guns.
