My blood type is USA Positive! The color of my blood is a mixture of red, white and blue.
The National Anthem gives me chill bumps. When I hear “Taps” I get an instant lump in my throat. I proudly wore the uniform of our great nation for 20 years. In summation, I am an unrepentent and unashamed patriot!
I am writing in response to Ms. Davis. Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood. I have been reading about her and she said contraception would be a great benefit to the world because its use would liberate women and make them happier, they would enjoy better health, marriages would be stronger and more unified, unwanted children would not be born, families would prosper, children would benefit by having better health and education, the entire world would benefit by avoiding the consequences of overpopulation.
A letter to the editor, April 17, surprised me with the news that I’m not a Christian, nor are any of my church-going, praying friends. According to that letter, we are atheists no matter how devoted we are to Christ’s mission or how sacrificially we give time and money to the church as a means of carrying out that mission.
My academic history is evidence I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I do understand and accept the definition of theory. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines theory as “(1) as set of facts in relation to one another; (2) abstract thought: speculation; (3) the general or abstract principles of a body of fact, a science or an art.” Hypothesis is “a tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
As most of us know, the Oklahoma legislators are working on doing away with our income tax over the next few years. At first I thought wow finally, and then I thought for a moment.
We as citizens of this great city I call home have a lot of choices to make in the next few weeks here at home. We have the race for mayor and many for seats on the commission.
Atheist wins again. Now that Republicans control both the Senate and House and even the governorship, Christians still can’t seem to win. The simple answer, atheists fight harder than complacent Christians.
Progressives believe . . .
It’s wonderful to live in the “Bible Belt,” but sometimes I get put out by the way our state lawmakers waste so much time and money drafting bills that are aimed at or in support of antiabortion or birth control.
Appreciation is expressed to the Shawnee News-Star for giving good coverage of the youth’s activities and accomplishments.
President Obama has proved one Biblical scripture.
Fox News is making a lot of talk about President Obama’s whining the Supreme Court of the United States may strike down Obamacare. Evidently, President Obama has stated that unelected officials have no right to do so. Following is a list of Senate confirmation results of last three presidents.
In answer to the people fussing about the governor not being here when the president showed up for his photo shoot.
I have been reading about people receiving the honor person of the year for the good work they have done. I am sure it has to make them very proud to know that their hard work has been recognized by others, I know I would. I would like to name a person for this honor.
I find it hard to believe that people in today’s society believe that an individual should be judged simply by what group or political party they belong to.
God created life. With that life He gave us a world filled with natural resources and abilities to convert them into usable products and possessions. Life, liberty and property define humanity and describe our fundamental freedoms. In spite of political belief, these three gifts predate human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men made laws. Life, liberty, and property are why laws were created as a collective version of each individual’s God given right to self defense and the preservation of each depends on the preservation of the other two.
I was bewildered and a bit appalled by the recent News-Star article stating that three of our four public tornado shelters were to be shut down without any mention of upgrading them or building new. The Disabilities Act is certainly something we need to honor, but I fail to see why that means our response is to close these potentially life-saving shelters entirely.
