  • Congress needs protection from electorate

    I recently read that Congress is going to allocate $50 million to the city of Charlotte for the purpose of security at the Democratic National Convention. Sure as God made little green apples, some city will get a like amount when the Republicans have their shindig.
    Betcha not one new job will be created, just funds to offset overtime for law enforcement personnel.  I realize the president will also be in attendance, but he has the Secret Service and FBI whenever he visits someplace.

  • U.S. becoming socialist society

    In his guest column in the Nov. 13 edition Michael Jedson asked why he should support Congressman Mick Mulvaney.
    Mr. Jedson, you can’t support Mulvaney, and you never will. You are against school vouchers because you don’t want to see competitiveness working in our school system.
    You are against tax reform unless you get more taxes to allow more spending. You are against Cut, Cap and Balance for the same reason. You are against a balanced budget.

  • DeMint lacks compassion for veterans

    On Veterans Day, I was shocked and angered to read in a military
    newspaper that Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) had voted against the Vow to Hire Heroes Act of 2011.
    DeMint’s criticism was directed at the Returning Heroes and Wounded Warriors section that would give tax credits of $2,400 to $9,600 to employers for hiring unemployed veterans.

  • Obama, friends are what ail our country

    President Barack Obama gave another campaign speech at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial dedication.
    He made statements that if Martin Luther King Jr. was here today, he would have said etc., etc., etc. What a lousy thing to do when that person is no longer able to verify what he would say. 
    Obama keeps blaming the previous administration, Wall Street and the big banks for the failed economy.
    He fails to mention that it was his administration that gave billions of tax dollars that we did not have to those very banks and Wall Street firms.
