As a long-time Republican – one who believes sincerely in smaller government, responsible spending, no borrowing and a concern for the less fortunate in our great nation – I have been quite critical of the Bush administration and their disregard of everything I hold dear. This criticism, however, has brought recrimination from some fellow Republicans – those who I really thought knew better. Although they concede that this administration has indeed followed a course completely at odds with real Republican principles, they... Full story
Roe vs. Wade – the important law to protect the decision of choice. I support the right to choose and organizations that do the same. There is not an ounce of doubt in my heart or in my mind about the right to choose. I’m not arrogant enough to insinuate someone’s decision. I will support this law for myself, daughter, granddaughter, relatives, friends and any woman or girl who wants the choice. For the people of the hell-fire, damnation, guilt and fear, I’ll take my chances. Wrapping fear and guilt in arms announc...
SACRAMENTO — California does not automatically conform to the “Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007” signed by President Bush on December 20. In order for the provisions of this act to apply to California, the legislature must enact conforming legislation. The “Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007” was enacted to provide relief to families hit by the sub-prime mortgage market. Under California tax law, however, debt forgiven following mortgage foreclosure or renegotiation is considered income for tax purpo...
Submitted by Karie Reuther Liberty Quarry/Granite Construction A new study on the potential impact of crystalline silica associated with Liberty Quarry demonstrates that silica dust at the project site will not negatively impact the health of surrounding residents. The study modeled likely ambient levels of crystalline silica resulting from the activities of Liberty Quarry in comparison with actual measurements taken from nearby aggregate material facilities in California and found that in all cases, the levels remained well...

Driving past the small white crosses on Stage Coach Lane, I wish instead of crosses, I saw the faces of women – women who had to make a very difficult decision: to have an abortion. Incest, health issues, rape, family problems, no one in their life to help them… I am sure there are many more reasons, very personal reasons, that women and their partners must make this choice. I do not choose to judge the reasons women must decide to take this course. However, I do appreciate that in America, because of the judgment of our Sup...
The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is not a war against a country. It’s a war against an ideology whose stated goal is world domination. The enemy’s strength is in its determination and its knowledge of how our freedoms can be used to weaken our resolve. Here are the facts: The enemy attacked us first – killing more than 2,000 noncombatants in a surprise attack. As a result of our response to that attack: • the enemy is weaker, • Iran paused its nuclear weapons program, • Libya abandoned its nuclear weapons program, • most Midd... Full story
Regarding the CIA informing Bush that Saddam had no WMDs or programs: Tyler Drumheller, a 26-year ex-senior officer with the CIA, said, “, the policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming. And they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy, to justify the policy.” The CIA had high-level, credible intelligence that Iraq “had no active weapons of mass destruction program.” He also noted, “…I think over time, people will look back on this and see this is going to be one of the great policy mistakes of all time.” Last ye...
Letter-writer Glen Holzhausen and I seldom have common views, so I was pleased to read his corroboration of my point that societies, such as Mexico, that protect monopolies of their hyper-rich do so at the expense of the middle class and working poor. Back in the golden era of the US middle class, 1945 to 1980, our own government fostered a strong middle class through its tax structure, economic assistance and development, the great GI Bill and laws that kept corporate abuses in check. The extreme wealth divide found in...
I read with disgust the defense of FPUD’s Directors by the County Farm Bureau chief. Only avocado farmers are severely punished by the MWD with huge water cuts – no one else. New construction with new water users are treated preferentially. Is the MWD trying to destroy San Diego County agriculture? MWD is guilty of gross discrimination against our avocado farmers. Why is the wimpy Avo Association not filing lawsuits? Past MWD statements objecting to the desalination plant constructed in Carlsbad are stupid. These Nazi env... Full story
John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States, wrote, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers. And it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” John Adams, America’s second president, delivered these words: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Adams wrote Thomas Jefferson, “The general principles on which the Fathers achieved in...
