Angry old GOP still on war path
Every time I read something written by Robin Smith (column, Oct. 1) I see the angry old befuddled white woman at the John McCain political rally in 2008. It seems to me that Ms. Smith reads “all men are created equal” to mean “all WASPs (White Angle-Saxon Protestants) who vote Republican are created equal.” Lindsay Graham recently said “The Republican Party can’t recruit enough angry old white men to sustain itself.” Maybe he should add in angry old white women.
And they keep banging their war drums. Did we not learn anything from the disastrous invasion of Iraq? The biggest difference I see between then and now is we’re being played by the Israeli prime minister now, and we were played by the Republican administration then. When these Republican warmongers stand up and say “Follow me, I’m going to enlist in the military and go help,” they might have some credibility. After all, we’ve seen and have to live with their blunders when in command. No more, please.

Leave believers in prayer alone
If God is not in your life, so be it. No one is forcing you to bow your head, speak of God or anything that pertains to Him. But leave those alone who do believe in public prayer, as they have left you alone.
Are you so angry that some people believe in something you don’t that you want to take it away from them?
