A day to honor veterans, not score political points

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
With all the tragedy we have seen our military families endure recently, I was very disappointed to have the Veterans Day service at Bishop’s Landing in St. Charles turned into a political diatribe
by two of the speakers, namely St. Charles…

Using fear to divide and conquer

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

History has taught me that fear-mongering has always been the most effective weapon in dividing and conquering. That is why I believe the last Bible that God inspired man to write is the Constitution of the United States. God needed…

Folks debating health care reform are ignoring simple economics

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Sadly, many people in the health care debate are ignoring simple ecomonics and common sense in favor of talking points of the right wing and insurance industry coalition. The fact of the matter is that neither the current government system,…

Mallard Fillmore should go

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Bruce Tinsley, creator of “Mallard Fillmore,” apparently considers himself an expert on what the modern comic strip reader finds amusing.  Simply include the words “Obama,” “racist,” or “the president” in your strip and the belly laughs will follow.  In the…

Liberal is not a bad word

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I have read the STL-PD for many, many years. Recently, I have been reading mostly on-line. I have noticed that regardless of the subject or contents, those who do not like it refer to the author as “liberal.” As if…

La-la-la-la-la. I can’t hear you.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I want to thank Mr.Linck for his 9/9 letter to the Post explaining his pledge to keep from hearing new ideas, and that of most Obama haters, by declaring that “President Obama’s ….words will once again fall on deaf ears”!

Modern McCarthyites

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Another example of bias

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The speech of the President turned out to be pretty non controversial but one needs to understand that this speech given was not what was originally planned. In the originally planned speech the White House had colluded with the Department…

Speech backlash may represent a dark point in American history

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

In regards to President Obama’s speech to the students, as a middle-class father of four, director of a local board of education, and public education advocate, I was no fan of many of President Bush’s policies, but I never let…

The president of all Americans should be allowed speak to schoolchildren

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Barack Obama is President of all Americans. He was elected to office by a majority of voters just last year, and as our President he should be speaking to school children throughout the nation.  
 
In the 1950s, we students learned in civics and government…
