Letters to the Editor

America is great because it rejects Europe's philosophy

Caitlin Hall has it all wrong about Europe being "Green." Europe, with the exception of France ÷ who finally wised up and started voting conservative ÷ has moved so far left that it is more of a rosy, Bolshevik red.

I love to read editorials in which liberals label fellow conservatives like myself the problem in society. Seems to me that the left wing is the real societal contaminator.

Yeah, some people have all the luck.

Well, I did what anyone else would do. I spit the bee out, stepped on it, screamed as loudly as I possibly could like a 12-year-old girl and ran home. Bursting into my apartment, I ran to the freezer and filled my mouth with ice. I collapsed to the floor of the kitchen and stared at the ceiling, writhing and twitching in incredible pain. And that's when it hit me. [Read article]
