False anger at spending cuts

Orcutt

In 2011, Californians saw protests against the spending cuts to services for the elderly, poor, sick, and college students. The protesters spoke out against the cuts and directed their anger at those they deemed responsible for the reductions, mainly banks and big corporations. However, California Democrats and the people who supported job-killing legislation deserve blame […]

Thoughts on Iraq

Lompoc

I was surprised at the balance in your article “Out of Iraq” (Jan. 5) from a liberal media like the Sun. However, some comments are still deserved. We did not go to war in Iraq over oil; we get only 5 percent from them today; before, 0 percent. The WMD were believed in by the […]

Thanks for the laugh

Cambria

Chuck, you make me chuckle (“We can no longer support the freebies,” Jan. 5), but let’s get real. Yeah, it’s another sad day in America when the federal government is spending our hard-earned money on “illegals” … like the $3T on our Wall Street, white-collar, corporate criminal syndicate, international investment bank, financial fraud empire,  and, […]

We can longer support the freebies

Orcutt

Why are taxpayers forced by law, effective Jan. 1, to pay for the college education of children brought into this country illegally, or born to parents here illegally? Is it not enough we pay for educating them kindergarten through high school and give free lunches and breakfasts at the expense of American children’s education? Why […]

Here’s how to hope for peace on Earth

Lompoc

A recent writer lamented being robbed of her liberty to celebrate Christmas by government, city, and private industries (“Let’s take back Christmas,” Dec. 22). Apparently because the schools close for “winter break” instead of “Christmas vacation,” she has been prevented from celebrating as she did in the good old days. Without a nativity scene on […]

Let’s take back Christmas

Arroyo Grande

Over several years now, government, city, and private industries have robbed us of our Christian liberties and the freedom to celebrate Christmas. Removing nativity scenes from public places, referring to Christmas trees as “holiday trees,” Christmas vacation as “winter break,” and excessive use of “Happy Holidays” erode our freedoms to celebrate Christmas as we have […]

Who wants Nipomo urbanized?

Nipomo

“There you go again” was an often-used quote of Ronald Reagan every time Jimmy (Misery Index) Carter abused the truth about Reagan’s policy. Anyone who is delusional enough to believe the NCSD’s bureaucratic reality TV, snap out of it. Their Kardashian-style bull gas will pollute what’s left of our rural environment and result in the […]

Don’t focus on a bad apple

Santa Maria

I, like former Corporal Kanady (“‘Like a pawn on a chessboard,’” Oct. 20), am a veteran of multiple combat tours. I don’t believe that we were just “numbers,” and my time in-country did serve a purpose. All this is is the whining of a bad soldier; besides, he joined for the wrong purpose. Jail time […]
