Once again the old neocon stuff about the Trilateral Commission, new world order, etc., has come up. It proves that the John Birch Society mentality and other fear-mongering organizations and authors are sadly still alive out there. Some myths simply refuse to die. Visit the source, www.trilateral.org for up-to-date information on this organization, its authors, reports and practices. We have much more to fear from Cheney/Limbaugh/Rove and the likes than we do from this 390-member club.
What is important is the majority of Americans understand that we are not energy independent and entirely too reliant on the rest of the world for our standard of living. We should be concerned about leading the world away from fossil fuels, new transportation that is at least five times faster than what we have today, clean water and a sustainable future. All of this is achievable. If we allow ourselves to be distracted by promises of some easy way, or allow ourselves to succumb to the fear mongering then we are truly at risk of losing our nation.
We should not return our incumbents from Indiana to Congress. Not because they are part of some great conspiracy, but because they are individual entities that have proven they cannot function as a group in the best interest of the nation. Their closeness to the lobbying industry and remoteness from their home states can only be corrected with termination.

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.

Letter: Economy putting people in the gutters
We are now getting the results of putting people in the gutters. We need to take a second look at our government and its policies. It’s not working.

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.

Letter: Smith’s firings appear vindictive
Anderson is a city of negative publicity and actions. Why else is Sears leaving? Can we stand four years of vindictive actions and negative reporting?

Letter: Planned devaluation of dollar is coming

Viewpoint: Myra Kraft inspiration for Patriots
If there was one good reason for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl, it would be because of what I had read.

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.
