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…

Letter: Believe in God, not man

February 27, 2020 Manuel Ybarra, Jr.

Believing in man, instead of God the Creator, is man’s greatest folly. Man’s failure to learn and teach God’s Word, throughout the world, as He directed, has resulted in the world we live in today- a world gone mad. A world that goes against God and His will for man, whom He created in his…

Letter: You just can’t trust any ‘news’ from MSNBC or CNN

February 20, 2020 Duane Collins

Did you watch President Trump’s February 4th State of the Union Address from start to finish? Did you watch President Trump’s “Thank You” speech on February 6 from the West Wing of the White House from start to finish? If you did not, I strongly recommend you take the time to do so in order…

Letter: No to sanctuary cities

February 20, 2020 Catherine White

In President Donald Trump’s speech, he spoke about sanctuary cities and sanctuary states, giving one example of California being such a state. When Governor Kevin Stitt campaigned for elected office he, too, spoke about them and said in effect that he was not for them. However, when recently he was prevailed upon by supposedly 69…

Letter: Teach the basics; fill up the schools

February 20, 2020 Nelda Thomas

If Tulsa Public Schools would go back to teaching the basic subjects and skip the social engineering, they would have more children than they could handle.

Letter: Make 2020 the ‘Year of the Bible’

February 20, 2020 Cliff R. Hjelm

Legislation filed by Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, would declare 2020 the “Year of the Bible.” That’s a wonderful move by a state senator. Few seem to remember Public Law 97-280. On October 4, 1982, President Reagan authorized and requested to designate 1983 as a “National Year of the Bible.” Although it would be impossible…

Letter: Spend on more classrooms, not stadiums

February 6, 2020 Bruce C Brewer

First, we are told two elementary schools face closure due to a $20 million budget shortfall. Then, we read Union schools are building a $42 million stadium. Is this not trading classrooms for an athletic field? All children need to have a classroom in which to learn – only a few students are directly involved…
