Some questions I would like someone to explain to me why we are still in Iraq. President Bush told us it was to remove a human rights-violating dictator and to destroy his weapons of mass destruction. The dictator is dead. No WMDs were found. But we are still there. Obama promised change but has not delivered. ...more

In reference to the letter dated Feb. 20 by Charles E. Wilson, all I can say is "How Typically Democratic!" Mr. Wilson begins and ends with a condemnation of the current Congress' spending any time on the steroids scandal when more important issues are at hand. However, so typically Democratic, Mr. Wilson just had to take a shot at condemning Bush for the Iraq War. Mr. Wilson emphatically promotes the false reasoning perpetuated by those Democrats who hate President Bush because he legitimately won the first and second election over weak Democratic candidates. Bush's decision to take out Saddam and ensure that his WMDs wouldn't fall into the hands of terrorists who wanted to destroy us and or our interests was the right thing to do, at the right time. Most of the Democratic leaders agreed and if anyone believes President Bush influenced the thinking of Hillary, etc., they need to stop with the Kool Aid. ...more

The claims made in the "Legacy of Failure" article are similar to those of all the haters of President Bush and America. If they were true it would make you want to pack up and move to Eastern Wizzyhakastan or somewhere where things are obviously much better. Fortunately, the claims are not true. ...more

Thanksgiving is a special day for giving thanks for the blessings we have received all year long. It is arguably one of the very few that has not gone completely commercial and a day that most will, after not praying or talking to God on a regular basis, at least thank Him for the the meal and blessings He has bestowed upon us. I am thankful for being able to get up this morning and walk outside and pick up this morning's Tampa Tribune and Highlands Today and read my column. And to the hundreds and hundreds who enjoy reading what I have written, I give you my thanks. I give thanks to God for giving me the good fortune to have such a wonderful wife for the past 25 years and five months. I'm thankful for our children and grandchildren and pray for their good health and happiness. I, and so should you, give Him thanks for our wonderful nation. We should pray that the United States will survive and win the war against terrorism, and regardless of who is going to be the presidential nominees, we will still have the best country on earth. ...more
