LETTER: Politically motivated resignation not really news

As a regular reader of the Inter Lake, I couldn’t help but notice your front-page article about Gil Jordan’s decision to step down as the Northwest Montana Historical Society’s director, and his reasons why. It seems you granted him a purely political forum there (... better reserved for Page 6 or 8).

He states, “...folks that have racist and bigoted views feel validated” by the election, and “We’re going back to Jim Crow,” though I would challenge him, or anyone, to cite ANY example or proof of those extremist, leftist, and untrue notions from any documented source about our president-elect. The country really needed a change from the stagnant and divisive leadership of Obama, and the voters in our democracy spoke loud and clear against the continuation of the same.

And those who voted against Obama (and Hillary), and their manifest lack of integrity and failed policies, claimed no “crying room” after HE was elected and re-elected. But the country and its remaining constitutional patriots dealt with it because we had to, for a long and hard eight years.

It is a shame that Gil Jordan left his position for clearly untrue and biased reasons, knowing that there is so much good work left to do — at the Historical Society, and in our country. Perhaps his successor will strive better, and longer, and for the RIGHT reasons for the good folks of Flathead County.

May Jordan and his wife find their “safe space” in a trans-gender, energy-free, godless, and bankrupted sanctuary city somewhere, but the rest of us will carry on with dignity and patriotism and perseverance as good Americans always have. Above all, we will DEAL with it, and likely, rejoice. —Reed L. Yeater, Polson
