I never thought that I would hear one of our leaders, let alone our president, go to other countries and apologize for us and policies we have pursued. We have been the first to respond to any part of the world when a country and their people have been threatened by disaster, whether natural or man made and whether that country is friend or foe. Apparently, Michelle Obama was serious when she stated that for the first time in her adult life she was proud to be an American. It also seems that Barack Obama was influenced by Jeremiah Wright more than he has ever admitted to. I would hope that President Obama does not stoop to apologizing to the families of the 911 terrorists for the loss the terrorists’ lives in the attacks.
Some people don’t seem to grasp the danger to America and to all freedom-loving people around the world if detainees at Guantanamo Bay are released en masse. Many of these detainees have a clear hate for Americans and Jews and have made it well known that their goal is to kill as many as possible. Several, who have been released, have been found in Iraq attempting to kill our troops again. God has used many nations and people to thwart evil almost since time began. War is not pleasant to any peace-loving people. However, many times it becomes necessary to prevent even greater bloodshed. Many in our country, including our president, would rather kill an innocent unborn or partially born baby than to execute a convicted murderer. It is hard to believe that our America has gone this low in its attitude toward innocent human life. As a local church sign asks, “Is God pleased with your vote on moral issues?”

Goshen sidewalk crowding is the new cruising
I’m writing in response to the article in The Goshen News (May 16), entitled “Way Paved for Sidewalk Ordinance.” To recap quickly: The older people (business owners, the Establishment, “The Man”, the 1 percent) in Goshen don’t like the younger people crowding the sidewalk during First Fridays.

A 'compassionate conservative?'
You’ve all heard the term “compassionate conservative” used by liberals. They called George W. Bush a compassionate conservative, among other things. Have you ever noticed how liberals love to label people?

Partisanship OK in Congress, but not in other elected offices
During the primary election season there was much discussion regarding whether bipartisanship is a positive or negative attribute as it relates to the work of the United States Congress. When I speak to students, I often mention the vital role of partisanship within the legislative branch of government.

Why not just close Main Street?
I thought Goshen spent millions of dollars just a few years ago to widen and increase Third Street to two-way traffic and make Fifth Street a two-way street so that traffic flow on Main Street would be greatly reduced. So, why can’t the Goshen City Council address the problem of the number of people at First Fridays by closing the downtown section of Main Street for one afternoon/evening per month and allowing people to congregate on the street?

Sponsors help First Fridays thrive
Last month, more than 150 volunteers, 30 city staff members, and 16 sponsors donated time, talent and treasure to make the event a success. First Fridays simply would not exist without the good will and hard work of many individuals coming together.

Proving Rush Limbaugh wrong?
We can confirm that President Obama has officially broken Rush Limbaugh’s heart by achieving the success that Rush wished against. Remember after the 2008 election when Rush famously hoped our new president would not be successful? Well the evidence is insurmountable that Mr. Obama has gotten the best of Rush.

Mourdock is bought and paid for
It is sad to watch, but once again the Tea Party has been duped by big business and banks into supporting causes and people who will do harm to the rank and file in the Tea Party.

America cannot afford another Republican president
Remember 2001 and how President George W. Bush inherited the biggest federal surplus in postwar history? The Congressional Budget Office even projected the federal government would be debt-free by 2009. The country was in terrific fiscal shape to deal with any crises or emergencies in the future, even ready to handle the retirement of the Baby Boom generation.
