The only thing you have fear is another four years of Obama

Scared of the Tea Party, Dr. (Donald) Blosser (Letters Oct. 12)? Surely you jest,

But since the future of the United States and the world is in question, this is not a subject to joke about.

What frightens you about the Tea Party, Dr. Blosser? Perhaps your fears of the Tea Party would be eliminated if you would educate yourself about its philosophy and its goals for this country, which are as follows:

• The return to limited, constitutional government

• Having a federal government that lives within its means

• Reining-in out-of-control government spending

• Reducing and gradually eliminating our sky-rocking national debt

• Regard and love for our children and grandchildren by stopping addition to a mountain of debt that will suffocate them

• Reducing government regulations, which are hindering new businesses to begin and thrive

• Having a government, which once again, deserves the respect of the world.

• Having honest, open, God-fearing leaders leading our country.

Dr. Blosser, these are the realities that should scare you:

• 23 million unemployed or underemployed Americans

• 47 million Americans on food stamps

• 5.5 million homes in crisis/foreclosure

• $5.5 Trillion of new debt

• $716 billion in medicare cuts

• $2.6 trillion for Obamacare

• $1.9 trillion in new taxes in Obama’s budget

• Gasoline prices going from $1.86 when he took office to now, $4 in some parts of our country

• The world being a much more dangerous place

• The United Nations gaining more and more control of our lives, such as taxing the internet.

So rest assured, Dr. Blosser, you have nothing to fear from the Tea Party, Mr. Romney, and/or Mr. Ryan. However, you and I should be terrified of even the thought of another four years of the present administration.

  • 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.

    May 15, 2013

  • 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?

  • Sheriff has this reader's support

    This letter is in defense of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and in response to Shari Mellin’s letter (The Goshen News, May 8) about Sheriff Brad Rogers not obeying the laws related to anti-gun legislation

    May 10, 2013

  • ‘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.

    The city of Goshen is in the 11th hour for the five Redevelopment Commission members to hear the voices of its residents concerning the millrace redevelopment proposals at its next meeting at 4 p.m. on May 14.

  • We don’t need a community center

    We want to keep this short and to the point. We keep reading articles and letters in the papers about the proposed community center in Goshen. Our question is why?

  • Freedom-loving Americans want our country back

    We are living in unprecedented times. The “America” of today is not the America that many of us grew up in.
