  1. article Letter: Considering gun debate, is Obama pardon hypocritical?

    Tuesday, March 5, 2013 6:09 pm

    Of the seventeen pardons recently granted by President Obama for various crimes, one was to a person convicted of illegal possession of an unregistered firearm. So much for gun laws.

  • article Letter: The war is on the innocent

    Wednesday, March 28, 2012 8:47 am

    “War on Women?” How about “War on the Innocent.” Why is it if you speak to the rights of the unborn you are labeled as a warrior against women. The right not to get pregnant is clearly the right of all women. If they fail to protect that right, then the destruction of the baby is the true casualty of war.

  • article Letter: Letter: Does high defense spending really secure U.S.?

    Saturday, February 23, 2013 1:14 pm

    With regard to Secretary Leon Panetta’s fear that reduced defense spending will “hollow out our military,” one must ask why there are currently over 196,000 American military troops stationed in 150-plus foreign countries. Does the money spent to deploy troops in this manner really help secure the shores of the United States of America?

  • article Letter: Romney quick to war

    Sunday, September 16, 2012 10:31 am

    It’s hard to figure out Mitt Romney.

  • article Letter: Life is worth less than the Quran?

    Sunday, March 18, 2012 1:17 pm

    It appears that it is the singular attention-grabbing incidents that prevent many from being successfully oblivious to the turmoil that has beset Afghanistan. Reports that Marines were depicted urinating on Afghan corpses rocked the decency of many. The inadvertent burning of Qurans resulted in the Taliban’s killing of over 30 of their countrymen and injuring more. Yet, to date, protests over an Army soldier allegedly shooting 16 Afghan civilians has not provoked protests comparable to those resulting from the burning of the Qurans. Is one to deduce that human life is not as sacrosanct as the Quran?

  • article F-16s to intercept mock attackers over Valley Thursday

  • article Military air intercept exercises set near Valley

  • article Letter: Boston sad, but why not what happens elsewhere in world?

    Thursday, May 2, 2013 11:14 am

    Horrible, the loss of three innocent lives in the Boston bombing! Then what word could one use to express the fact that between 158,000 and 202,000 civilians have died as a result of the ongoing conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan? It is understandable that the attack in Boston is a national tragedy for the United States. Our sympathies and prayers go out to the victims. But why is it that the loss of innocent lives in the Middle East has been hardly worthy of a second thought, if any, on our part?

  • article Letter: Women in military decision ‘Band Wagon Appeal” only?

    Wednesday, January 30, 2013 12:06 am

    It appears that President Obama, Leon Pinetta (Def.Sec) and Gen. Dempsey (JCS) are excited over instituting a Combat Infantry Roll for our Women in the military. I certainly hope these men did not make their their decision on “Band Wagon Appeal” only?

  • article Letter: The Goose and Gander of arms control

    Sunday, January 27, 2013 2:37 pm

    Notice that General Stanley McChrystal does not support private use of assault weapons. And Stan is the authority on counter terrorism. I was on active duty for seven years, was Unit Property Book officer for 5 years in three different units during which time I held all of my units’ weapons locked up safe and secure in my unit arms rooms. So perhaps our Constitution does permit Congress to require that all civilians who would chose to own military style weapons to secure them in a “well regulated” militia’s arms room! Five weapon safes cost less than $300. If that’s good for the active duty geese, it ought to be good for the ganders, too.

  • article Letter: 2nd Amendment designed to fight tyrannical governmentSuns in a ‘very bad place’

    Tuesday, January 22, 2013 2:43 pm

    Despite some contemporary opinion, there is no historical evidence, except for a bit of Thomas Jefferson’s political writings, that the Second Amendment to the Constitution was designed to ensure that Americans could, if necessary, rise to remove a tyrannical government.

  • article Letter: Does Arizona GOP not understand the crisis?Nation’s leaders created 2nd amendment for 1776, not 2013

    Wednesday, January 16, 2013 7:59 am

    Let’s face it, the nation’s founders didn’t create the Second Amendment to allow people to kill defenseless, unarmed school children.

  • article Exhibit features ‘life masks’ of Holocaust survivors

    Tuesday, January 1, 2013 4:30 pm

  • article Letter: Every citizen is free to fight with own weapons

    Monday, December 24, 2012 7:31 am

    In reply to John K. Walker’s letter concerning the Second Amendment.

  • article Letter: Look north for evidence of successful gun control

    Friday, August 31, 2012 4:22 pm

    I am writing about the not-so-thoughtful letter from gun (lover) Arthur C. Peterson: “What kind of country do you want?” I’d like to live in a country where so-called law-abiding citizens do not have access to weapons of war like AK 47’s that are designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible. I also certainly don’t want to live in a country where citizens are allowed to possess chemical or biological weapons like Peterson advocated.

  • article Letter: Peace won’t come through continued fighting

    Thursday, May 10, 2012 2:47 pm

    One year after the U.S. assassination of Osama bin Laden, I’m concerned that our government is still pursuing the same failed war strategy in Afghanistan based on bringing “peace” through fighting and war.
