Letter: Attacking the coronavirus

April 30, 2020 Manuel Ybarra, Jr.

We been told we are at war with the infamous invisible coronavirus. But so far, all we see, is that we are trying to save those already infected/wounded, which is of course a very important part in all wars. But, we are not seeing a massive effort to kill the enemy before it enters the…

Letter: Problems with facial hair

April 30, 2020 Cliff R. Hjelm

Growing facial hair around your mouth is a pride factor that in most cases makes you less desirable for good employment, plus it is a negative for elective office. It is often a distraction, like lettuce stuck between your teeth. It is true that in the presidential election of 1948 between Harry S. Truman and…

Letter: David said he will be waiting for John at Heaven’s Gate

April 2, 2020 John T. Catrett, III

David Weir You would have liked David! I first met David and his lovely wife, Lisa, in the fall of the 1980’s. We met at Church one Sunday morning. They were married in the early summer of that year, and the glow of newly wed bliss still radiated from their countenance. The couple had met…

Letter: A warning by David Wilkerson

April 2, 2020 John K. Harris

The Rev. David Wilkerson, who died in a traffic accident in the Dallas area on April 27, 2011, founded Times Square Church in New York City. Perhaps you’re familiar with his most famous book, The Cross and the Switchblade (1963). In 1998, I read Wilkerson’s (then) new book: America’s Last Call: On the Brink of…

Letter: A word from God

March 26, 2020 Manuel Ybarra, Jr.

America, and the world, is presently shaken by a tiny virus, so tiny that it is invisible to man’s naked eye. Fear of contracting an infection from such a small living creature, and facing sickness, and possibly death, is shaking mighty man around the world! It is quite possible that God, the creator of Earth…

Letter: Multinational firms, politicians gave us the coronavirus

March 12, 2020 Peggy Burgess

The coronavirus has illuminated the fallacy of globalism. Globalism is an economic system promoted by financial and industrial elites and multinational corporations to minimize costs by utilizing Third World cheap labor in countries that are less regulated to maximize profits. For the last 30-plus years, U.S. senators, congressmen and presidents have happily enacted laws, and…

Letter: Dems won’t stop killing babies

March 12, 2020 Duane Collins

As inconceivable as it may seem, on February 25, Senate Democrats refused to authorize life-saving medical assistance to babies who survive a botched abortion. Instead, they decided to let the baby lie unattended until their tiny heart stops beating. Senate Republicans put forth Senate Bill S.311, entitled “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” making it mandatory…

Letter: Justice Gorsuch makes reforms

March 12, 2020 Catherine White

Neil Gorsuch has only been on the Supreme Court for a short while, but he recently ignited the fire of liberty and broke 40 years of precedent when he, all alone, refused to join the SCOTUS “cert pool.” The cert pool was established in 1973 during the early days of the Burger Court, in order…

Letter: DNC is promoting humanism

March 5, 2020 Duane Collins

In August 2019, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) passed a resolution praising the values of “religiously unaffiliated” Americans, claiming that they were the “largest religious group within the Democratic Party.” The resolution, which was unanimously passed at the DNC’s summer meeting on August 24 in San Francisco, was championed by the Secular Coalition of America…

Letter: Woody Guthrie was wrong on land

February 27, 2020 Joseph G. Glenn

The late Woody Guthrie sang, This Land Is My Land. The question I have always had is: “Woody, what are you going to do to improve the property or to maintain the property? That is what the homesteaders of the past found out. Owners of a “stake” were required to improve and maintain the property…
