Written on LETTER: U.S. can't fall for tricks:

We get it Sam.
Every time I see your name signed to a letter I know it will be anti-Israel.
Blame the Jews, side with murderous Muslims. There's a recipe for success.

Written on Finally, somebody got it.:

Contrary to what the GM CEO said in a commercial last year, GM did not pay back their debt. They still owe 35 billion and we taxpayers will probably never see it all paid back.
Also did you know that GM wants to sever its ties to the Government but Pres. Socialists said no. It seems that GM doesn't want to be known as Government Motors. Many customers don't like it either. Their not buying their bull or their products.
For a short time after the UAW bailout and the tsunami in Japan that crippled Toyota, GM was no. 1. That didn't last long though, Toyota soon regained it's rightful place at No.1.
Try to have better information before you write a cheerleading letter for a failed, crippled, automaker dependant on the taxpayers, and failed, incompetent,Presidency.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Consolidation will maintain services without tax increases:

What about Knight Twp. being consolidated into the city. Didn't their taxes go up? Of course they did and by a lot. Just what the purpose was, to move newer and more valuable, affluent property to the city tax rolls.
The only reason for this is for more tax dollars to abuse and mismanage as they are already doing with the city. They are going broke and need more revenue, thus the desperation.

Written on Debate over Human Relations Commission budget should be settled this week:

in response to WildAboutYou:

"Sometimes companies — if they know they're in the wrong — to protect themselves from negative publicity, they try to resolve it right away," said Ron Lyles, a former member of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission.

Ron Lyles? This should be sufficient enough to negate any support of the HRC. The HRC is an entity that is superfulous, racist and should be eliminated. Look for diversity on their Board, it doesn't exist!

You bet companies settle, not necessarily because they are in the wrong, but because they don't want the bad publicity. Many times they do nothing wrong but the charge alone can hurt or destroy them.
Point your finger at someone and cry wolf and everybody looks and listens. Then it is up to you to prove them wrong and get your good reputation back.

Written on LETTER: Consolidation sold without solid facts:

in response to Cody__Morr:

''I have read bits and pieces that offered some benefits.'' I'm sure you have only read bits and pieces of the entire plan as well. There is obvious savings that come right off the bat. Look at the political positions that will be eliminated, we are going from 19 members that are on the County Commission, County Council, and City Council to a 15 member Common Council. That will be a investment to our budget and would save hundred of thousands of dollars. Hopefully everyone can see past CORE's political misinformed rhetoric.

This is a typical uninformed person. Yeah they tell you the positions that will be cut but they don't tell you about the new positions that will be added. Deputy Mayor, Financial comptroller, public relations person. these are just 3 of what could be many more. And the good part is their salaries will be many time more than that of the councilmen that will be eliminated. What a crock.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Human relations board should be fully funded:

in response to Mike01:

Didn't I read somewhere that HRC REFUSED to supply information about what they do with the money they get?

If they want money GIVEN to them, then it's only reasonable that they account for the money.

Yes, they do good work & are necessary, but they are NOT above checks & balances.

Yes they are above the checks and balances because they are minorities. You can't question any thing the HRC does without being called a racists.


in response to soccerdaddy2003:

I read this and I still can't tell what this Commission does. Either the article was poorly written or their purpose is so vague that they need to be cut. Most likely the latter.

What they do is take up the cause of minorities, gays, disabled.
For example 10 people are layed off from the Rescue Mission. 9 are white 1 is black. A complaint is filed with the HRC by the 1 black person because he claims he was discriminated against because he was unjustly fired because he is black.
The HRC takes the case and one of their hacks goes to the Rescue Mission and shakes them down for some cash to make the charge go away.
This Commission is the bone thrown to the minority community by the city to keep them in the ranks of the Democrats.

Written on LETTER: Ranting doesn't help:

in response to Foolmeoncebaconator:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

You are off target. Janet has a point in that some of the letters of late are unrelated rants. Two or three points with no rationale or facts to justify the letter. Brenda Tucker's letter this week is a perfect example. She can't back up her position in her letter so she just hurls insults.

Written on LETTER: Obama duped us:

It seems that most of the bloggers favor higher taxes, unlimited spending, more entitlements with the so-called "rich" paying the bill with no end in sight. No one would think of doing anything on your own without government assistance or oversight.
Welcome to the bankrupt world of Socialism.

Written on LETTER: Coal bankruptcies miss Bible's ideals:

Duh! What? Brenda, your letter is all over the map, throw a bomb here, throw a bomb there.
I sense that you are disappointed by your "Hope and Change" daddy president, therefore the rant.
I think you also know (as a coal mine employee, or former employee) that Obama has engaged in a "war on coal" through EPA regulation.
He is shutting down coal mines and coal fired power fossil fuels, just windmills and solar panels.
Brenda honey, he has turned on his own. Union Yes! Coal No!
Try to pull yourself together before you write you next letter to the editor.

Written on BIL MUSGRAVE: Fits middle class dreamers:

Spoken like a true Obamazombie Unionista. UNION YES!

Written on LETTER: Merger opens door to deals:

This letter hits it on the head. If you think things are screwed up and mismanaged now...wait until "The Mayor is pulling all the strings behind closed doors with unlimited power.

Written on IN RESPONSE: GOP care about themselves, not America:

in response to Sherlock007:

If a conservative had written a letter with so many lies and misinformation, I wonder if the C&P would have printed it?



This letter may be a new low in so far it is completely devoid of any reason or facts. I would love to meet this dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. How he puts one foot in front of the other to get anywhere is my question. I guess that's the problem, he's probably never been anywhere if he had to think for himself. Obviously based on the letter he wrote, he cannot process facts, information, or history. This is what the Democrat Party wants. The dumber the better.
The perfect Democrat robot. Comfortable on the "Democrat Entitlement Plantation", sitting on the front porch with a beer in one hand and a fly swatter in the other waiting for election day to go vote Democrat "fer summore of that free stuff".

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Merger puts too much power into too few hands:

The most efficient form of government is a dictatorship. No discussion, no voting, no opposition to speak of.
It's bad enough now with all of the appointments and control by the mayor, imagine what his power will be if this passes.
The control will surely be out of the hands of the citizens.
All of the spending will be on the fast track to approval..with plenty of new tax money to spend.

Written on LETTER: Nothing "anti" in his vote:

Brandon, even as you wrote your letter to the editor, our president was doing his job of being interviewed by local radio stations. He answered hard hitting questions like "what super power would you like to have, red or green, where can we find good soul food in Chicago"?
These are the questions Americans want answered...not what are you going to do about the national debt, out of control spending, unemployment, or the over run cost of Obamacare?
Yes, by all means vote for this loser. Let him take us 4 more years down the path of destruction to complete the job.

Written on LETTER: Romney picked radical:

This is a Floyd Turbo type letter written by a mind numbed Democrat. He was born one and will die one. less concerned about the facts and most concerned about the Democrat line of bull and talking points. This guy couldn't argue the facts if his life depended on it.
This is the perfect Obama voter. Ignorant of the facts and willing to prove it.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: SkiDay, Volksfest treated differently:

in response to Former_Hoosier:

Of course it would. "Dozens drown while wearing water-logged lederhosen"

LOL. My chair rocked on this one.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: SkiDay, Volksfest treated differently:

in response to I_Love_Jet_Noise:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

My thought exactly. Those geezers are a lot more peaceful and sedated and easier to control. I am a drunken 63 year old geeezer....I know.

Written on LETTER: Excerpting Obama is fearmongering:

in response to RealAmerican:

Obama kept us from sliding into the 2nd Great Depression, which is the path the 'conservative' republicans had us on. And, are trying to put us back on that exact same path.
That's a fact!

In 2006 the Dems. won the House and Senate. They helped on the spendathon and covered up the housing crisis which led to the financial crisis. 2007 through 2010 4 years of Dem. control and liberal legislation... and they want 4 more years of a dismal failure. Show me a mess and I'll show you Dems. fingerprints all over it. Good try!

Written on LETTER: Excerpting Obama is fearmongering:

I notice a pattern here. The Dem. defenders can only parody,name call, and make fun of the Rep.ticket. Classic "Yo Mamma". Where are the accomplishments of your President Obama. 3 and a half years ho hum at best.
Compare this to 4 years ago when we were promised utopia...Obama style. What a flat liner!

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Tainted by 'right' vote, McNamara must face her district:

The union whiners are on a rampage. Wendy Mac is a conscientious Rep.
She didn't necessarily vote against the majority on this issue. The unionistas just think they are the majority. The macho UAW had to be bailed out by the taxpayers and we will never see all of that money repaid. Why encourage them when we the taxpayers will have to bail them out when they start to cry.
And who said right to work didn't bring in more jobs. I have heard from my Rep. that it has brought in jobs.

Written on Consolidation opponents unveil new attempt to stop vote:

in response to della:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

And when the pro-consolidation people resort to tactics like falsifying signatures, it tells me they are afraid they won't have enough signatures to bring it to a vote.

Written on LETTER: Penn State should not hide ugly past:

Thank you Joe for your most truthful and articulate letter. I have often thought of what would have happened to the assistant coach that saw Sandusky molest a boy several years. He would have been persecuted by the fans not to mention he would have had death threats or been killed or beaten by the "fans".
Joe Paterno is the only one who could have bought this to the public without harm to himself and he chose not to. What a shameful situation. Sports is their religion

Written on LETTER: Neocons responsible for troubles:

Does anyone else get the feeling that Mr. Harris will not be happy with this country until it looks and operates like Cuba.
No problem with class warfare there. Everyone is left wanting.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Caring plays no part in government's role in health care:

in response to inky:

"Only children and fools believe there is such a thing as "free." Someone pays for everything"

Pat, are you one of the children or one of the fools.

The writer of the letter separates herself from those who believe things are "free" which is one of the criticisms of the letter.
Yet the only name calling you can come up with escapes logic.
I detect opposition but no ability of expressing himself.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: If Romney won't invest in America, why should we elect him?:

Give me Romney any time. A sucessful business man worth millions who also rescued the Olympics from failure, and he was governor too.
Obama...well electing him to the job of POTUS is like taking a pimple faced teenager from the counter at McDonald's and putting him behind a desk at a bank approving loans...doesn't have a clue.
Obama should be cleaning toilets because he led the way to put us in one big, messy one.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Unify for smaller, better government:

Ann, this is your second letter on this issue. You are a puppet for the city based on your former position with Keep Evansville Beautifu...we get it. Your first letter reeked of"Cheerleader" with no substance.
Efficiency is a favorite word to describe reorganization.Efficiency is also a great way to describe a Dictatorship. Dictatorship's have one guy making the decisions. No discussions,no opposition, no dissent, no votes. Fast and easy. Things move fast that no one even has a chance to see or know what hit them,and it's already a done deal and there is nothing you can do about it. And the best part of all of us suckers in the county can expect about a 28% increase in property taxes. Imagine all the fun the Mayor can have with that extra windfall...spend, spend, spend.
If you live in the county, there is only one option. VOTE NO.

Written on Which of the Republican candidates would get your vote in the Indiana 8th District primary?:

I kept waiting for Bucshon to make a difference as he led us to believe he would. He spent his time in Washington hiding in the corner waiting for his orders from the GOP leaders, voting in lock step.
I'll vote for reform and Constitutional values...that would be Risk. If she is elected we will hear from her and of her in Congress.

Written on LETTER: GOP trapped by Romney:

Welcome back Brenda. It's been awhile since you have spewed. I have missed your liberal, union blather.

Ann Romney didn't have to work outside the home because she had a husband who was a good provider. They could have all the children they wanted because they supported them by working and paying taxes, not sucking the government coffers dry like the leeches, moochers, and parasites who live generation to generation sitting on their fat backsides and whose only profession is that of a brood mare giving birth to a dependent every couple of years in order to pay the bills with a welfare check.
People like the Romneys build this country while the parasites that Brenda defends are sucking it dry.Under Obama's rule this is the plan. Make more people dependent on the Government, give them stuff and in return they will give you their Democrat vote in the elections in order to keep getting stuff.
Brenda, you must be proud. What a great bunch of citizens you defend.

Written on LETTER: Attack on Occupy is weak:

The Evansville occupiers may be decent people. I have not heard any negative reports.
But in New York city it was reported that the OW,s took buckets of urine and feces collected from among them and dumped it on the lobby floors of selected banks.
Oh yes, and I did not hear this on Rush or Fox News.
These are absolutely the people who should be running our country.

Written on LETTER: Shame on the unions:

I noticed that defenders of the unions are not defending the tactics that the union/government team have or are in the process of accomplishing. They are fixated on union pacs.

Written on LETTER: Shame on the unions:

in response to Pianoguybob:

What I read in this letter is unions being blamed for government legislation voted upon by government legislators. Perhaps the letter should be more aptly entitled: "Shame on Legislators".

Who's behind the legislation and pushing for it? Duh! The unions who vote for and finance the Legislators and the Democrat Party. They are serving their constituents (special interest) who donate most heavily to their canmpaigns.

Low information in the Tea Party? No, your problem is the Tea Party is very informed, that is where their power is, in knowledge and numbers. And you can't compete with knowledge and facts. Wise up.

Written on LETTER: Shame on the unions:

in response to Funambulist:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

You are a mental midget. Do you not read the statistics on the amount of money given to the Democrat campaigns compared to Republican. The Dems. rake in 90% of union donations. The unions take from their funds and donate to the Dems.

And what do you know best, the welfare system, socilaism, communism, marxism?

Written on Authorities remove children from filthy home, arrest parents:

There is no excuse for this filth! Poor people can be clean people. They just choose to be filthy and lazy instead.
Two Indiana legislators have proposed legislation for welfare recipients to be drug tested. This is a perfect example of why they should be. Let your representative know that you support this bill.

Written on LETTER: Writer shows bias:

in response to Nomar:

The last I heard it is not against the law to be a liberal. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. My opinion is that the republican presidential candidates are a joke.

If "all" of the Republican presidential candidates are a joke, then by comparison that would make your incompetent,unqualified, in over his head President "The Village Idiot".

Written on Unions protest ahead of Indiana Legislature's start:

in response to shurm374:

I don't think Bosma and Long realized they woke up a sleeping giant. They finally came out of their closet and admitted they are the illegitimate love child of the corporate interests in Indiana.Fight Unions Fight! Remember OHIO.

Not a sleeping giant, a crying baby who needs the government to subsidize their wages with bailouts and government contracts as paybacks for their millions in union dues to their political coffers.
Money laundering legalized by the Democrat Party. What a racket. Unions have turned into a pack of thugs. I guess the Democrats will be hiding out in Illinois again.

Written on LETTER: Iran poses no threat :

First of all, I can't believe he wrote this. Second, I can't believe the Courier published it. What a waste of newspaper space. It qualifies as propaganda.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Driving the nation on progress road requires steady driver:

in response to MiltonForever:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

And keep in mind that it has been over 800 days since the Democrats have produced a budget. Why? Because of the 2010 elections and the 2012 elections, they don't want to show their hand on the higher taxes and increased spending (vote buying)that they desire. We can thank Nevada for giving us 6 more years of Harry Reid, a mind numbed opportunists who cares only about his political career.
Both parties are beneath contempt, but do a little research and you may find enough facts to think for yourself.

Are you serious?

Written on LETTER: Weinzapfel will rank high:

Hal, I usually find your letters agreeable or food for thought but this one leaves me hungry.
Weinzapfel is one arrogant, renegade, control freak.
I say he will go down in history as one of the most unpopular mayors Evansville ever had.
He has at least temporarily torn apart the Democrat Party.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Weekend 'Occupy' march put movement out of bounds:

I was in Bloomington Sat. and saw the OW's there. What a bunch of loons, hippies, and misfits. Reminds me of the 60's.
I am insulted as a Tea Party person being compared to these disfunctional fools.
Marsha, you had one error in your letter. You said they want jobs. Jobs are the last thing they want. They have a long list of things that they want "given" to them. How about giving them a trip into space...that's where their brains are.
God forbid you give some of these people a job..they sure wouldn't expect to work.

Written on Senate GOP blocks $60 billion Obama infrastructure plan:

This so-called jobs bill is a tax increase. Most of these jobs will go to unions to buy their vote. This is nothing more than the usual pay-off to special interest groups namely the unions.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Charlie White should resign:

Do a little research on the history of voter fraud. I'm sure you will find it at 10 to 1 in favor of the Democrats. It's an important part of their election process. Business as usual, dead people voting, voting more than once, ineligiable voters, missing ballots, made up names on petitions, and the list goes on. The Dems. have perfected the art. They can't function without it.

Written on LETTER: Obama hurts business climate:

in response to whywhywhy:

This is the typical right wing talking point letter that misinforms the general public. The goose that lays the golden egg is not business. Business has no heart, soul, or conscience. Business's objective is to increase shareholder value. Period. The goose that lays the golden egg is the American consumer with disposable income so they can purchase the goods and services that businesses provide. Without consumers no business can start, grow, or thrive. Ever since Ronald Reagan began his war on the middle class in this nation the middle class has slowly been eroding due to free trade and illegal immigration. Businesses control our politicians through money and the average American worker whose only voice is collective bargaining, has been declining since Reagan. The American dream is for a few people, not everyone. Thanks to business, the Chamber of Commerce, and the republican party.

Sounds like the good old Union talking points. Unions control the Democrat politicians like a puppet on a string.
The only place unions are growing is in government jobs...where you don't have to make a profit, just keep raising taxes. God help em if they work for a private company, they'll go broke. The union thugs will make sure of it.

Written on LETTER: Obama hurts business climate:

in response to Hickeyboys_Daddy:

Year the Businesses really took off when Bush cut their taxes. NO that didn't happen. Business crashed after the tax cuts and has remained slow ever since. The only jobs that were created in TX were the cheap paying low wage jobs that only the immigrants will take. Low payk, no health insurance or any other benefits. They basically are paying for slave labor while the rich keep getting richer.

This letter above is full of stats that were made up by Rush Limbaugh and company. I don't believe any of them if they come from Fixed News Corp.

I am familiar with some of these stats. They did not come from Fox or Limbaugh.

Written on LETTER: Government facing growth spurt:

in response to olddoggie:

Before you write such comments, please check your facts such as The EPA is NOT regulating the things you mention and no regulations have been proposed.They indeed have been given the right to do so-in fact the power to regulate dust was in legislation passed by Bush. In regard to milk, putting contaminated milk on cereal could be more dangerous than oil.

The EPA has not requested 230,000 jobs for global warming permits. Reportedly( current requirements COULD require 230,000 jobs UNLESS these requirements are changed. The argument is how to change these reporting requirements.

Regulations do need to be controlled and unnecessary regulations eliminated, but how about focusing on facts.

People who defend the EPA as they exist today are a scary lot indeed. Where do they want to take this country.
What will be left of industry or jobs? Basket weaving, and hand made jewelry? We can make our baskets and jewelry then ride our bike down to the corner, sell our wares and make one heck of a living.

Your letter is what's worthless.
