Letter: Children need proper parenting

Tulsa Beacon

A well-intentioned mom titled her opinion piece in a Wyoming newspaper, “Instead of molding kids, behold them.” This philosophy of child rearing suggests children are born with all the equipment they need to negotiate the treacherous terrain of the modern American world.

Letter: Here’s why we should have kids

Tulsa Beacon

On “Drs.” Program February 3 on Fox TV, the discussion was on sterilization – women choosing to never have children. The indication was that few women regretted it.

Editorial: News media pushes racial discord

Tulsa Beacon

Racial discord is rising and one of the big factors is the new media narrative that America is a racist country and that white people by definition are racist. That is especially true on media outlets like MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times and others. Recently, on an MSNBC show called The…

Letter: Teach the Bible in public schools

Every day Americans scurry off in winter darkness to work physical construction sites and business-as-usual office settings. But where are folks scurrying off to work on social construction programs to build a better society and renew our nation’s traditional commitment to ethical living? We are bending our ingenuity to perfect drone use, green materials, and…

Letter: ‘Center of the universe’ is not right

Tulsa Beacon

After reading about the tremendous information available through science regarding our endless universe, our telescopes reveal billions of planets. Artificial intelligence and computers process millions of correspondence per second. I thought how awesome is our God but I am puzzled by the fact that these geniuses discovering these truths for the most part deny that…

Editorial: End state sales tax on groceries

Tulsa Beacon

Here’s a good idea – eliminate state sales tax on groceries. Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, is leading that charge in the new session of the Oklahoma Legislature. “Currently only six states allow full taxes on groceries, Oklahoma being one,” Roberts said. “We currently have a surplus in funds and revenues are up, so now is…

Editorial: Racist view on SCOTUS nominee

Tulsa Beacon

Seats on the United States Supreme Court should be based on qualifications, not on race. Obviously, judges should not be excluded on the basis of their skin color but that is exactly what President Joe Biden has done when he declared he would nominate “a black woman” for the Supreme Court. State Senator and candidate…

Editorial: Biden lying on immigration mess

Tulsa Beacon

President Joe Biden claims he doesn’t understand why foreigners want to flood across our southern border. “I think one of the fundamental things we’ve got to do in addition to some of the changes we’ll make, which we won’t get into it today, is that if we figure out why they’re leaving in the first…
