Sky falling?

In Dale Gillis' letter he accuses Cal Thomas of scientific illiteracy and then tells us about predictions by NBC of an Arctic Ocean free of ice. NBC, that's a great source of unbiased info. He then tells us about Al Gore getting a standing ovation while addressing a bunch of people who agree with his hype; big shocker there. ...more

Liberal Lemmings

Mr. Watson's recent letter just typifies the liberal mindset with which we are so grievously afflicted. I suppose it is perfectly appropriate to vilify and demonize our president for the past eight years and to trash and ridicule the decent and honorable American citizen, Sarah Palin, but God forbid that we should say anything negative about the Democratic "Messiah." ...more

Letters To The Editor

The Political Discourse The mental picture of local Republicans, poison pens at the ready, waiting to pounce on Barack Obama's choice for vice president is mildly amusing (Letters, Aug. 26). Obama could have chosen Mother Teresa, and these right-wingers would have said she's a liberal who works with terrorist sympathizers. Such is the political discourse in this country. ...more

Court Reinforces Founders' Intent

Regarding "The Next Attack: Coming Soon" (Other Views, June 19): Cal Thomas decries our Supreme Court's decision granting foreign terrorist detainees the right to access U.S. civilian courts to challenge their detention, "a right that should be reserved only for American citizens." ...more
