Letter to the Editor Should the federal government help Oklahoma after this weeks tornadoes? Normally I would say absolutely yes. However, both of Oklahoma’s Senators, Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn have repeatedly voted against funding FEMA and voted against relief for other areas of the country. The both voted no for Hurricane Sandy relief. So [...]
Letter to the Editor These so called not for profit tea Party groups deserved more scrutiny by the IRS, not because they are Republican, but because 100% of them are in fact in violation of the law. Tax exempt groups are supposed to be tax exempt because they are “charitable” or “social welfare organizations”. The [...]
Letter to the Editor America is no longer a democracy. America is now an oligarchy. An oligarchy is where a small group of rich people control the government. Here’s 3 strong indicators supporting my claim: 1) In 2008 there was so much fraud in the banking system that every major financial institution collapsed. They had [...]
Letter to the Editor Although the news media can attempt to alter what we remember about the Bush administration you can’t actually change the past. What happened happened and the results of what Bush did are still with us. The 16 trillion dollar debt is still here. The wealth transfer from the middle class to [...]
Letter to the Editor At the beginning of this year Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reed had the opportunity to end the filibuster and allow majority rule in the Senate. But that didn’t happen again in part because it wasn’t supported by senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein from California. Today gun background checks again didn’t [...]
Letter to the Editor I have to say that I am very disappointed with the History Channel over their “The Bible” series. The definition of “history” is a record of what really happened. History is a reality based word and is in the domain of the reality based community. The problem we realists have with [...]
Letter to the Editor On this Jewish holiday of Passover we are reminded of a story about God killing the first born sons of the Egyptians for failing to do what he wanted. But in real life some 65 million years ago Darwin smited the dinosaurs out of existence for failing to develop asteroid deflection [...]
Letter to the Editor 10 years ago the Bush administration started the Iraq war. It wasn’t intelligence failures that got us into that war, it was fraud, lies, and deception. We wasted 4000 American lives, tens of thousands of Iraqi lives, and 2 trillion dollars of debt, and Iraq is worse off today than they [...]
Letter to the Editor Although Republicans make a lot of noise about the national debt the actually want more debt. More debt works in their favor. They want the debt to go up. Republicans have been against Medicare and Social Security since it started and when Republicans ran up the debt in the Bush years [...]
Letter to the Editor Most people don’t realize it but the Pope is in a unique position to reduce global warming more than any other individual on the planet. How you ask? By embracing birth control. The single biggest cause of man made global warming is overpopulation. There are just too many people on the [...]
Letter to the Editor It never ceases to amaze me the hubris of the Republican party. As if it wasn’t enough that they turned Clinton’s surplus into the biggest deficit in history, now they are deliberately crashing the economy with their sequestration. They seem to think it’s not treason to hold the economy hostage trying [...]
Letter to the Editor We need to raise the minimum wage because a low minimum wage is effectively welfare for corporations. When profitable companies pay wages that people can’t live on the taxpayers often have to make up the difference. For example, in many states the largest group of medicare and food stamp recipients are [...]
Letter to the Editor Although it is commendable that the Boy Scouts are going to stop prohibiting gay scouts I’m not hearing them say anything about changing their position when it come to excluding boys based on their religious beliefs. The Boy Scouts require scouts believe in God and excludes boys who don’t share their [...]
Letter to the Editor Republicans are trying to rig the next presidential elections in advance by changing the rules of how electoral votes are allocated so that even if a Democrat gets the most votes the Republican still wins. If these rules had been in place in 2012 then Romney would have been president in [...]
Letter to the Editor For the last 4 years the Democrats have had the majority in the Senate but have complained because the Republicans have used the filibuster to block what the majority of Americans want. Today for the third time Democrats had the opportunity to fix the filibuster and they failed to do so. [...]
Letter to the Editor As the Republicans begin their retreat this weekend they will have the opportunity to be lead by motivational speaker Erik Weihenmayer, an athlete perhaps best known for being the first blind person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. And although it is commendable that the Republicans are embracing this [...]
Letter to the Editor Some people say that President Obama have the option to use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling in case Congress fails to do so. They are wrong. Obama doesn’t have an option to raise the debt ceiling, he has a responsibility to do so. The Constitution says, “The validity [...]
Letter to the Editor The US Senate is going to take up the issue of reforming the Filibuster so that a minority of Republicans can’t dominate the majority that was elected by the people. But standing in the way of this needed reform are the two senators from California, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein. Both [...]
Letter to the Editor Republicans have been chanting “Spending Cuts” for the last several years and where shall we start. To me the place to start is obvious, Afghanistan. It’s time to get the h___ out of Afghanistan. The sooner the better. We’re spending billions every week babysitting a country that needs to take care [...]
Letter to he Editor Republicans are publicly stating again that America is a hostage. They are saying that if we don’t start the process of crippling Social Security and Medicare that they will cause America to default of the national debt. The idea being that only Congress can raise the national debt ceiling. A debt [...]
Letter to the Editor In this age of partisan bickering one thing that I think both Democrats and Republicans agree on. House Speaker John Boehner is not up to the job. He is neither competent or effective and we Citizens of the United States should not have to suffer through 2 more years with him [...]
Letter to the Editor With the fiscal cliff looming and senators filibustering everything you would think from listening to the news that noting is being passed through Congress. But that isn’t the case. As it turns out on Friday the Senate passed an extension of the FISA act to continue to allow the government to [...]
Letter to the Editor Politics these days are very interesting. The world of reality is in a battle to the death with the world of crazy, and it seems the reality is winning because crazy is collapsing in on itself. What crazy doesn’t realize is that reality always wins. There is no power in the [...]
Letter to the Editor Republicans keep saying we have a spending problem and we need to cut spending. But Republicans don’t want to say what cuts they want to make. If Republicans want spending cuts then tell us what you want. Just say it! Do we pull grandma out of the nursing home and put [...]
Letter to the Editor The Republicans keep saying “We have a spending problem – not a tax problem.” WRONG! The reason we are in the hole is that we cut taxes for the rich and paid for it borrowing money – from the rich. And now we have to pay interest to the rich. And [...]
Letter to the Editor The debt ceiling threat is a false threat that for some reason both Democrats and Republicans are buying into. They say that only Congress has the authority to raise the debt limit and Republicans are using that to take America hostage to try to destroy Medicare and Social Security. And for [...]
Letter to the Editor Right when you think that Republicans can’t get any crazier than this they never cease to amaze me. What am I talking about this time? Republican Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell is now filibustering himself. McConnell, in an attempt to bluff the Democrats offered a proposal to end the Republican’s hostage [...]
Letter to the Editor I keep hearing on the news Republicans saying that we shouldn’t raise taxes in the rich because we are “punishing success”. Are you kidding me? They turned Wall Street into a casino and when they crashed the economy we had to bail them out. And that’s what they call success. We [...]
Letter to the Editor On one hand the super rich plutocrats who want to pay no taxes and are funding the Republicans have made it clear that they are going to cut the republicans off from their billions of dollars if they don’t hold real Americans hostage to get their upper class tax cuts. However [...]
Letter to the Editor It’s Christmas time and the Republicans are holding us hostage again. Both parties agree that taxes should stay low for the bottom 98% of Americans, but rather than pass that tax cut the Republicans are holding us hostage in order to get a tax cut for Wall Street. Wall Street are [...]
