Letter: Wearing a mask is just the start

Tulsa Beacon

Never in the history of the United States have citizens been ordered by law to wear a facemask, social-distance yourselves from other people, and to limit the number of people who can participate in a public or private assembly. And yet, this is exactly what some cities and states are doing across this nation.  People…

Letter: Will the Mayor wear a mask?

Tulsa Beacon

So, Mayor G.T. Bynum has signed a mandatory mask ordinance  (with a few exceptions). Let’s see… This is the same mayor that did not wear a mask and go to President Trump’s event at the Downtown arena. But now he wants people to wear masks. It would be interesting to see come December at the…

Letter: Should we really take a coronavirus vaccine?

Tulsa Beacon

Many are thinking that things cannot go back to “normal” until there is a vaccine available and even government mandating its use is the means to prevent a health crisis. Vaccines are touted as “safe and effective” and to be given per the CDC schedule. Does rushing a hastily manufactured vaccine then mandating it for…

Letter: PP arguments for abortion invalid

Tulsa Beacon

In the publication “DAY 41 Spring 2020” provided by the pro-life organization 40DaysForlife on pages 8 and 9, there are five arguments in favor of abortion. The first is “My Body, My Choice”, but science is clear: the fetus is a new human being with its own set of DNA from the moment of fertilization….

Letter: Why was there disrespect for the President by TV and the Mayor?

Tulsa Beacon

Recently, a momentous, once-in-a-lifetime occurrence happened in Tulsa as both the President and the Vice President were in town at the same time. Never before in the history of Tulsa did that happen. While watching Channel 2’s coverage of President Trump’s speech, Channel 2 cut away from it and viewers were told they could watch…

Letter: Thousands of Trump supporters were stopped at the rally gates

Tulsa Beacon

Saturday afternoon, my wife and i decided to go see how many Trump supporters who did have tickets to attend the rally  would  be outside the supporting President Trump. Because of overwhelming tight security, no supporters where allowed in the fenced area surrounding the BOK Center.  In normal times, as seen in previous rallies, thousands…

Letter: Racial discrimination

Tulsa Beacon

The Oklahoma Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (OCDLA), as the state’s premier organization defending the rights of accused persons, joins in the call to make the ideals of the “Black Lives Matter” movement a reality in our criminal justice system, from the moment of first contact with law enforcement.      Racial profiling techniques such as “driving while…

Letter: Modern day ‘post turtles’

Tulsa Beacon

I am assuming you all know about “post turtles.” They don’t know how they got on top of fence posts. They didn’t get there by themselves, and they don’t know how to get down without getting hurt. With all due respect, you are “post turtles.” Furthermore, the crazies who have commandeered six blocks of Seattle…

Letter: Shocking Supreme Court

Tulsa Beacon

Does anybody find it shocking that the American people voted for a Republican president who then placed justices on our Supreme Court and yet the “so-called conservatives” have now declared that both homosexuals and transgenders are protected under the term “sex” in LBJ’s Civil Rights Act of 1964? The notion that six people can retroactively…

Letter: Christians and politics

Tulsa Beacon

We live in a time of acute political polarization, exacerbated every election cycle by a 24-hour barrage of candidate advertisements reflecting two opposing worldviews, a myriad of issues and advice on recommendations on ways to vote. Unfortunately, the toxic tone and extremely partisan nature of our political  system  discourages many Christians – and citizen voters…
