Archie McPhee has indicated that a previous letter I had written was a “fairy tale.” I beg to differ. What I said was that President Obama did not have anything to do with the denial of a COLA for Social Security recipients. That is a fact.

Does he have the same empathy for people who have filed for bankruptcy due to the fact that they cannot pay their medical bills? I am sure that most people...

However, I must speak out to condemn the vandalism that has taken place after the FBA landscaping efforts. It...
