Take responsibility for political actions

Regarding the April 25 and April 18 Leonard Pitts columns: It's well into the second year of the new administration - so let it take some responsibility for its actions - easy to blame someone else.

Pitts points to true patriots and Tea Parties as problems and racist. I guess if you have an administration that is caught lying to Congress, Congress lying to the people, an administration that publicly downgrades the Supreme Court and an executive staff that is made up of tax cheats, communists and socialists who appear to want to undermine the American way, what do you do if some ordinary Americans oppose them?

It is time for Pitts to write the letters to his replacement.
