First of all, I was shocked the Kansan characterized the Oct 17 T.E.A. — taxed enough already — tea party in such a negative light, especially when I did business with them by buying an ad.
The characterizing it as a “protest movement” and a “demonstration” was uncalled for, since there was no walking around like a picket or disturbing anyone.
I guess you could call it a protest because we are patriotic and like our Constitution and the principles our country was founded on, but your paper is misleading.
It must have confused Jan Saab in her Oct. 26 letter.
For her information, the flag was saluted and the Declaration of Independence was read, as were principles of freedom and things to promote better government.
There were almost 80 there, and they didn't “mill” around. I guess you could say we don't like dictatorship or Communism or poverty as free enterprise, then we’re prejudiced.
How is steering back to our countries’ original principles considered a protest?
If you need more ways to seek improvement, how about getting back to the First and Tenth amendments and have only judges who interpret the law instead of make or change it?
Has the administration spent enough yet? Before, the debt was outrageous.
Now, in the first 10 months, he spent more than all 43 presidents before him. And even that help is very limited.
Margaret Thatcher said about socialism, “Sooner or later, you run out of other peoples’ money to spend.”
I just heard the new bill is almost 2,000 pages. Shouldn’t our congressmen have to read it before voting on it?
Sometimes now, bills aren’t even completed before they are expected to vote on it.
I’m amazed at how much wisdom the Founders had, such as “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force!
Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master” — George Washington.
One of the kindest things we can do for the poor is to provide jobs for them — not just give them a handout.
Should we throw an alligator and ducks into a pond and let them compete?
Remember, you’re entitled to your opinions, not to your own facts. We can agree to disagree, agreeably.
