If Americans don’t support politicians who support the press and the truth, our democracy is doomed. An America ruled by a dictator will not grow stronger, but significantly weaker. Russia is exhibit A. - Letters to the editor of the Carroll County Times.
- God has blessed Carroll County with a state-of-the-art hospital, staffed with exceptional physicians and professional, caring nurses. It is a community asset that should not be taken for granted.
- We have lots of democracy, but it runs into partisan obstructionism and hypocrisy, and nothing gets fixed.
- If the Israeli government no longer stands for basic human rights and simple democratic values, should we be funding their move toward autocratic rule? Perhaps that money would be better spent in Ukraine where freedom is still being defended.

M.K. Sprinkle: Conservatives are just trying to protect an unborn child’s right to life | COMMENTARY
I would not begin to tell another woman what to do with her own body, but therein lies the dilemma. It’s no longer solely her body that is involved in abortion.
- It’s too easy to get the weapons and use them, and too hard for good people to actually do the work that really defines the freedom we like to believe is our American birthright.
- Perhaps the Supreme Court has stirred our senses enough to awaken Americans to what Republicans really have in mind when they tell us that they want to make American great again.
- Letters to the editor of the Carroll County Times.
- There was a time when there was significant overlap between the personal values held by most Americans and those by which government institutions, like schools, were run. Those days are gone, but that does not mean the values championed by the state supersede those held by children and their families.
- While the rest of the world is fighting – literally, in some cases – to keep democracy alive, some Republicans are fighting for a Putin-like figure to rule again here.
- Letters to the editor of the Carroll County Times.
- Americans are hungry for reason. If Republicans govern reasonably, they will be rewarded, but if they become the mirror image of the Democratic Party, they will simply suffer the same fate Democrats are almost certain to suffer this fall.

- When he isn’t at war with Disney and the LGBTQ community, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is at war with educators and education in general. Last week, he took aim at math textbooks used in his state.
- Letters to the editor of the Carroll County Times.
- The Democratic party has morphed into the party of moralistic patricians, a party incapable of even defining what a woman is, that preaches every white person at the moment of their birth is a racist.
- In the end, Russian President Vladimir Putin makes the strongest argument for NATO’s existence, demonstrating its the best safe haven when you live next door to Putin’s Russia.
- Letters to the editor of the Carroll County Times.
- Great teachers are treasures. They should be coveted, nurtured, and compensated in ways that recognize their worth to the communities in which they work. A compensation strategy must be developed that encourages teachers to strive for excellence and which tangibly rewards those who achieve it.
- A national study on nursing homes revealed what anyone who has experienced long-term care for our elderly already knew: Elderly care in America is poor, at best, and is getting worse.
- Letters to the editor of the Carroll County Times.
- No matter how the next months play out, pay attention to your mental health and the mental health of those around you. Give people space; be patient; listen more than you talk; reach out to those in your life who are struggling, either with loss, or with the challenge of rebuilding their world.
- Baseball is a game of subtleties, of human interactions governed more by unwritten canon than anything found in the rule book. What holds it together, what gives the game its enduring appeal is its character, an ethos, a set of traditions and customs developed over more than a century of play.
- You know it is bad when video from American media outlets, like Fox News, is played repeatedly on Russian state television to prop up Putin’s war on Ukraine. But, sadly, that is our reality.
- Letters to the editor of the Carroll County Times.
- Chris Rock is the hero of the story. His reaction to Will Smith’s assault was amazing, both in the moment and in the aftermath. He deserves our respect and praise, and it is my hope, in the days to come, when this unfortunate incident is discussed, we focus more on Rock’s reaction to Smith’s assault than on the assault itself.
- If your child happens to be transgender, Republicans are now saying that parents don’t know what is best for their children and, in fact, may be guilty of child abuse. For Republicans, the state knows better than parents when it comes to the sex and gender issues of our children.
