After reading the column by Quddus Snyder entitled “Truth wins,” it warrants a critique to the several innuendoes and borderline hostility promoting further division of an already suffering and divided country.
Let’s start with: “But my heart is too big and so here I am doling out free advice to our local charity case: Mount Washington Valley Republican Committee. Buckle up.”

Fear not Bonnie. Many of us feel exactly the same as you do. For the most part, "Q" says nothing different or new in his rants. And as hard as he tries, and he apparently does try mightily, to be erudite and profound, he only comes across as smug, and arrogant, while completely missing his intended target(s).
Unfortunately, the CDS has seen fit to make us endure his predictable, repetitive, and boring musings.
Lastly, let us never forget (he never does): He has a Ph.D.
