Rights

Subject: The End of Freedom in America?

I'm appalled at the attitude of this district and many other public groups that profess to stand for freedom and equal rights for everyone except Christians. We have see this before in dying cultures that have shriveled and died out through world history. Our great country was founded on the belief that all men should have freedom. We have enjoyed freedom "OF" religion since it's founding. The same separation of church and state line that's twisted by Christian haters is the very rule that allows us the RIGHT to practice our own religion without interference of the state. This case clearly interfere's with the Coach's rights to cChristian freedom. Although not requested, there also should be no reason why he couldn't join in on the students prayer if he wanted to. Key thought, if HE wanted to he has the right as a free American citizen. My opinion is; these type of cases should be addressed as hate crimes against Christians! Go after the organizations bringing the cases to court. Bring litigation against them for court costs and damages. I'm sure this has cost the tax payers of the district and the coach money. We need to stop defending and start going on the offensive when we're attacked. I of course mean in a non-violent way. Please keep me informed on the outcome of this case it's personal to me. Thank you for all the great work you do defending true freedom and justice.

China Olympics

Subject: Chinese-Christians Are Paying a High Price for the Olympics

I'm so filled with rejoicing that a Christian organization is standing up to corporate greed shown in the Olympic organizing. Thank you for standing up for victims of corporate greed in this country who are losing their homes. You said the Pres. Bush should take a moral stand against the Chinese regime. Well, he probably won't. You see, it's the globalist interests that put him in office and blind evangelicals who
were tricked by GOP's "god-talk". The same neo-cons who laughed behind believer's back, according to David Kuo's book. It will be a real shame if these same corrupt ones win the '08 elections. Evangelicals erred greatly in 2000 and 2004 and many will not examine themselves about in. Maybe the Lord will deliver us from these leaders, but knowing the Lord, He brings more tribulation to nations that forsake Him. You can condemn a lot about the Democrats but this neocon group along with their talk-show propagandists, stay in power by lies and deceit. Christians should have no part with these iniquities.

Please share my feelings with others, especially those in leadership who tend to apologize with the political status quo.

Sincerely in Christ, Milt P.

Rainbow

Subject: The Millionaires Who Rule Us

In reference to your article 'The Rich who rule us' that I read in the Athens (GA) Banner-Herald: I have nothing against people becoming rich and enjoying life. We all want to security and health yet these objects of want for many people are becoming like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...not real.

This is a great country but Americans are slow to understand the outcome of the continued way this country is going. Like boiling a frog, you put a frog in cold water and slowly heat up the water and over time the frog will become cooked. The American public is slowly being boiled and before anybody knows it there will be a corporation Bill of Rights taking the place of the Peoples Bill of Rights.

Thank you and please continue to shine the light into the darkness.

Morality

Subject: Kids Today Don't Stand a Chance

I agree with you 100% in your recent commentary, "Kids today don't stand a chance." As a parent of a preteen, I am deeply troubled about the advertisements, celebrities, TV shows, music lyrics, and books promoting sex to young people. It doesn't help when I am standing in the check out line at the grocery store with my twelve year old and she is looking at all of the lewd subtitles of teen fashion magazines. It appears we have lost all sense of morality. If something is not done soon to counteract the negative influences in our culture, I'm scared we could lose a generation of young people to the ways of the world. My sincere thanks for bringing this problem to everyone's attention.

A Fool's Paradise

Subject: The Day the Music Died

John,

I said to myself, that will be the day that an article about Buddy is in the reader. I hate to rave on, but I enjoyed it. My sister Peggy Sue also liked it. These words of love are sincere even though some people might think that it doesnt matter anymore. Everyday I say oh boy, I am going to play some Buddy Holly. My heartbeat always increases when I hear him. I hope that you will think it over and write more Holly stuff for guys like me living in a fools paradise. Thanks for the great article.

Young People

Subject: America the Violent: The School Shootings

I must commend you for the article in yesterday's paper about violence among our young people and its causes. I have long said that the horrendous crimes being committed by young people stems from a diet, begun in their early years, of horrendous acts of violence shown on the screen...whether it be movies, TV games, or indeed the daily news reports showing bodies strewn on the streets of Iraq. Parents follow the rules of good nutrition...good food leads to a healthy body. Why don't parents also realize that feeding garbage to young minds will develop diseased minds? Add to that the availability of "weapons of mass destruction," guns, and we have a situation that cries out for attention, but is too "hot" politically. What is the answer? Who will listen? Keep up your good work...and thanks for letting me blow off some steam.

School Shootings

Subject: America the Violent: The School Shootings

Good for you john for seeing that a million gun control laws will not solve the problem of mass shootings. The gun is only a tool, not the problem. When will the politicians see the light. They can keep passing their feel good laws and the violence will continue. You cannot solve the problems of society with laws. Americans must look in the mirror and see themselves as the problem and change their priorities in life to the family.
