Circular Firing SquadA recent letter submitted by Amy Paradise [“Total Hypocrisy,” Letters, October 2] decries the utter hypocrisy of the Republican Party, “a party that supports totally irrational, tyrannical behavior as normal.” Her conclusions reveal the breakdown in objective logic, one that...
