Humor is all around us — even in politics. Sometimes I smile when watching political ads.
Jackie Walorski has a couple out in which she portrays Brendan Mullen as a “D.C. insider” and who has “liberal values.”
Brendan Mullen has three homes in Washington D.C. and has not lived here in five years, so the assumption is he is out of touch with Hoosiers and will be a “lifer” while in Congress.
Well, Brendan Mullen proposes a self-imposed three- to four-term limit while in Congress. I emailed Jackie Walorski on her idea on what she would do so as not to be “entrenched” as a D.C. insider. I know she’s busy, so I have not heard from her as of yet.
As a D.C. Insider, Brendan Mullen would obviously be swayed by the “liberal values” floating around in D.C. Brendan Mullen must be pro-choice. Well, no. He’s very strong on the rights of the unborn.
Obviously Brendan Mullen is for all kinds of gun control. Actually, he is for the Second Amendment and gun rights.
Brendan Mullen doesn’t have any business experience, so he obviously doesn’t know how to create job. Well, actually he’s run a couple of businesses.
Brendan Mullen must be one of those anti-war liberals. Let see, he served in Iraq.
Obviously Brendan Mullen is for more government spending. Well, no. He proposes a 10-percent cut in congressional pay until the budget is balanced.
Thanks for the chuckle, Jackie.

Goshen should stick with ‘Redskins’
I must respond to the letter to the editor from Mr. Ron Chupp (The Goshen News, May 9). What’s in a name, Mr. Chupp? I too have a Native American heritage, and for some reason, I am not offended by the term Redskins, or brown skins or any other color of skins.

More important issues than a nickname
I would like to, in the most respectful way possible, respond to Mr. Chupp’s letter (The Goshen News, May 9) regarding the ongoing debate over the term “Redskins” being used as the nickname and mascot for the Goshen school system.

There is hope through God
May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?

‘Redskins’ nickname is offensive
The question posed (in the May 5 edition) was, “What’s in a Name?” In the case of the GHS (Redskins) mascot, it is insult, degradation, racism, and an ongoing slap-in-the face reminder of the disgusting manner in which my Native American ancestors were treated by Europeans.
