Quite a few of the letters posted recently have a tea party slant. Apparently these people get their information from Fox News. Fox News, a station which portrays itself as fair and balanced, but whose parent firm recently donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. Fox is well named after a devious, crafty creature. When this Fox makes a noise the viewers react accordingly, much like chickens would, and start clucking on cue about Obama as a Muslim, Democrats as the cause of all societal ills, or whatever hyped-up nothingness the station has chosen to promote.
The majority of Americans are too intelligent to fall for this propaganda. At least, I hope so. If not, and some of these tea party candidates actually are elected into office, it will be bad for the country, as they will fail miserably, but will be very good for Democratic prospects in 2012.

How about election fraud? -
Letter: Elected officials should buy insurance
I may be wrong but I thought the city and county were hurting for money, and that’s why services keep getting cut or eliminated. One thing is evident. There is no shortage of money for lawsuits.

The truth of the collapse of a living-wage economy for working-class America is a social catastrophe and, increasingly, a severe embarrassment to free-market ideology.

Letter: Let’s work through the problems
On May 14 I attended the county council meeting in hopes that I could understand what is happening in the legislative branch of our Madison County government. What I saw was politics at its worst and I cannot applaud either party.

Letter: Taxpayers should thank the ‘few’
Are those who worry about the loss of the wheel tax concerned about the roads or about their jobs? Most of them could care less about people’s needs.
