 Attempts to Spin History to the Editor of the Osceola News Gazette

          Regarding a letter published Feb. 19, Eric Phelps attempted to play with words and spin historical facts. Yes, President Franklin D. Roosevelt did put soldiers in foxholes at Anzio as he was the president and commander in chief during World War II and you just can’t spin your way around that historical fact.

Is being an “Independent” a Good or a Bad Thing?                     

By Michael Brigmond, an independent thinking Republican

Some say they are not registered with any political party because they do not want to be bound or committed to either party; they like to think for themselves and make their own choices. That all sounds good; but how does registering with a political party diminish one’s ability to think or to make personal choices? It doesn’t.    

To the editor:

     In the January 15th edition in the letters section I noticed a letter "These last eight years" by Elaine Ramsey and I just could not help but feel all the built up and misguided hatred in her letter. 

     I always thought liberals were kinder and gentler than that. I would just like to remind her that the presidents that put her husband in the foxhole in Anzio and her son in Vietnam were all her kind and gentler Democrats: Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson, and it also took a Republican like Richard Nixon to get us out of Vietnam. 

     If John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson had done their jobs, there would have been no Bay of Pigs disaster and no Cuban Missile Crisis and no lives would have been lost in Vietnam.

     If Jimmy Carter had done his job, we would have had no double-digit mortgage interest rates, gas lines, Ayatollah Khomeini or American hostages in Iran.

     If Bill Clinton had done his job, there would have been no 9-11 and Osama Bin Laden would have been in prison or executed.

     George W. Bush has kept us safe, and all the liberal hatred from Hollywood and the mainstream media and others cannot change that.
