I heard on the news a statement by Jim Irsay about the status of Rush Limbaugh’s desire to be a part owner of the St. Louis Rams. I was shocked to hear his statement about not voting for Rush because he could cause potential problems. This statement was made before he has even talked to him.
I live in Anderson and am a strong Colts fan who believes Jim Irsay is one of the top owners in the NFL, if not the top. I am not a Rush Limbaugh fan even though I do listen to him on occasion. However, I believe Jim Irsay and Roger Goodell are letting the media, specifically CNN, influence them with statements attributed to Rush that are not true. Before Jim Irsay, Roger Goodell, and other owners make a judgment about Rush’s qualifications to be an owner, they should talk to him and find out firsthand what he has said and whether he could live within the expectations of the NFL owners.
Undoubtedly, what Jim Irsay and Roger Goodell have said about Rush Limbaugh has strongly biased some players against him without them ever knowing the man himself. I don’t believe Jim Irsay is that kind of a man. I think he got caught up in a situation and said things before he fully knew the whole story. If after talking to Rush, they still feel he would not be a good owner, then fine. But they should not make decisions based on what they hear or read in the media. The media only tell you what they want you to hear, and. sometimes it’s not even true.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

Viewpoint: Look at Creation Museum from an educational, scientific perspective
I encourage any and all who have interest in this vitally important topic to “go to the source,” to invest the time and energy into exploring The Creation Museum for themselves.

Letter: Blame the voters for our Congress
Why is insider trading legal for Congress and illegal for the rest of us? They make and enact laws for all of us, but then exempt members of Congress. Somehow this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test.

Viewpoint: Anderson a microcosm of America
Wherever I have found comments that I felt were outside the values I believe in or were plain misinformation I have spoken out. At times that has been done with a lack of eloquence.

Viewpoint: Problems in Anderson go back to President Carter
On Jan. 21, Frank Couch of Anderson stated that political conservatives “just don’t get it.” He sort of indicates Sears’ closing in Anderson is due to the new mayor being Republican.
