A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

President Barack Obama’s ringing statement in favor of the ground zero mosque had a gaping escape clause: He didn’t necessarily support the mosque.

Not that he bothered to spell that out for his entranced listeners at a Friday night ifter dinner at the White House, or to his supporters who rushed to hail the “finest moment” of his presidency. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,

The most recent and depressing media blitz has been on the controversy surrounding the proposed building of a mosque roughly two blocks away from Ground Zero. We need to apply a little bit of critical thinking and reason to the debate.

The opponents of the project claim that this is a “victory mosque” and being used to celebrate the attacks on 9/11.

The opponents that are less extreme are calling it simply disrespectful, as if Islam itself is responsible for 9/11 and to have a site dedicated to Islam anywhere near Ground Zero is both insensitive and distasteful. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,

I have seen awesome things happening in Eastman lately!

The Holy Spirit has been moving in the hearts of many adults, teens and children.

The gathering at the Magnolia Theatre recently called “Extreme Connection Weekend” was power filled!

The bands Consumed, Seven Times Covered and All Eyes East played with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Tears fell and lives were saved! Hearts were recreated. [Full Story »]

Thoughts From The Right Side
By Marshall Miller

It’s election time every two years for all 435 U.S. House members, and many are trying (surprise!) fakery to get reelected.

Border control is a popular theme, as it should be, and the voters again need to be reminded not to vote Democrat.

Voting for these phonies only encourages them. [Full Story »]

A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is some sort of bigot.

In a speech about the ground zero mosque and religious freedom, Bloomberg stipulated that “it is fair to ask the organizers of the mosque to show some special sensitivity to the situation.”

Why do they, of all the sects represented in New York, have to show “special sensitivity”? [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
As we look at the citizens of America, of every race, one must wonder if they are getting sick.

Americans seem to have become more and more selfish.

Are we forgetting what it is like to work together, from top to bottom and in between?

Thoughts From The Right Side

The National Rifle Association decided not to oppose Sonya “So So” Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. The NRA wimped out but Gun Owners of America (gunowners.org) fought the Sotomayor nomination. Check out gunowners.org, the gutsy gun rights group. The NRA is disgusting. It has gone downhill in a hurry. [Full Story »]

A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

If you could boil down the public’s lament with Washington, it might be: “What happened to the adults?”
Not the adults of the Clark Clifford variety, the Washington fixtures who alternate between serving administrations and commenting on them sagely for PBS. But political leaders who make tough choices, take on problems directly and combine principle with pragmatism in a manner consistent with true statesmanship. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
I would like to give a big thank you to some really hard working folks. As the E-911 Director of Dodge/Wilcox Counties, we refer to our dispatchers as the unseen heroes. We do this because they don’t get their names in the paper or on the news most of the time when a big incident happens. They just go about their jobs and very seldom does the public realize their importance in getting the agency out that needs to stop a crime, save a life or divert a disaster. [Full Story »]
