Letters To The Editor

I’m beginning to tire of Andy Caldwell’s campaign to unseat Sarah Christie, Planning Commission chair. Mr. Caldwell, executive director of COLAB and pro-business, anti-regulations columnist and radio commentator, accuses Ms. Christie of “bias” every chance he gets wherever anyone will give him time or space. However, I’ve been to enough Planning Commission and Board of […]

The level of criticism aimed at President Obama and his administration regarding their actions toward our limping economy is unrelenting. Some skepticism is fine, but a hefty dose of reality is better. The critics thus far have offered nothing better—if anything—than what our government is trying to accomplish.   Our economy at present needs support. […]

When Social Security was originated back during the Great Depression of the ’30s, its purpose was to provide survivor income to those who had little or none. Through the years, the program has been expanded, so that now even the very wealthy get a monthly check.   With the country spending hundreds of billions we […]

Fortunately, the reality of who Obama is and what he represents is finally sinking in. More Americans are beginning to understand that instead of transparency and unity, all Obama has brought to the table is splurge spending, political chaos, and a national disunity unparalleled since the Civil War.   We know government-run health care is […]

Let’s get it straight: When it comes to health insurance, the United States has the most misinformed, fearful, gullible, short-sighted, and short-changed population among developed nations. The private insurance industry has made fools of us.   Please consider this:   If you view your life and health as above all means for private profit and […]

To the parents who were concerned about President Obama’s speech addressed to their school-age children:   I would like to address all of the parents of this county who didn’t want their children to hear Obama’s speech because of its possible political content.   First: From what I have read and observed, parents have a […]

Public school districts across the United States are disbursed funds from the state governments for children attending school, and funds are withheld for those who are absent. The hundreds or thousands of paranoid extremist parents who kept their children home from school on right-wing hysteria surrounding President Barack Obama’s speech urging kids to “stay in […]

The Tea Party Conservatives are attempting to rip a page from the ’60s protest movement. The question is: Where were they when millions of their fellow Americans were protesting a multi-trillion-dollar war?

 Initially, I gave Obama credit on being bright and perceptive—if nothing else.   Lately, noticing the dredges and retreads he’s been attempting to infuse into our political system, I submit I’m not correct all the time.

Friday, Sept. 11, marks the eighth anniversary of the deadliest crime recorded within our borders. On that fateful day in 2001, thousands of lives were lost as three New York City towers crumbled to dust at the speed of gravity. Improbable as it was, the crime has never been honestly investigated. It did, however, provide […]

The liberals don’t want tort reform, or over-state-line competition. That will save billions to any person or business paying for health insurance. Why won’t the Democrats or Obama demand this now?

I am embarrassed and somewhat ashamed with what passes as health-care reform discussions in recent public forums.   There is yet to be a single bill put on the floor of either the House or the Senate for a vote. As I write this, both houses are still in recess.   In their absence, a […]
