Assuaging a 30-year wound SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For 30 years or so I have lived with the memory of the treatment I received upon my return from military service. Never did I expect to be treated so shamefully for my service to this "Our Country." To finally see someone in a respected media position call that traitorous human being what he is, a traitor, does so very much to wipe the hurt of the words and the vileness of the spit away. Thank you, Joseph, for being a standup American. A proud disabled American veteran Doug Schue -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charge Kerry! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know if there is a statute of limitations for treason, but it seems that if there is hard evidence for treason as related in your recent editorials then today is the day someone should file the charges. If the mainstream press won't play this story, they would certainly be forced to if someone brought criminal charges against Kerry just days before the election. I would (and I'm sure many others would) be willing to contribute to a legal fund toward prosecuting the case. America (barely) survived the treachery of the Clinton administration. I don't know if we will survive an administration with John Kerry at the helm. Mark Rooks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kerry on the commie dole? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree with your column regarding Mr. Kerry. Please note that the Vietnamese document refers to both "assistance and guidance" being given to anti-war groups, suggesting the possibility that material assistance in addition to direction was given. Might Kerry have been the recipient of such "assistance" when he traveled to Paris? Robert Bleakney -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A fallen hero vindicated -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My father, Capt. David Warren Watson, died in Vietnam in 1969. My whole life, I have been made to feel ashamed that my father was a part of that dirty little war. It was not until I left the public school system and joined the Marine Corps that I learned why I was made to carry the sins of my father – sins I should have never had to carry and that he was never a party to. Thank you for what you are doing. Thank you for giving the Swift Boat Veterans a voice. Thank you for loving this country as much as I do and as much as they do. As irony would have it, my father graduated from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. My mother still lives in Lubbock. My father was commissioned there before going to Vietnam the first time. To find out now that TTU is the place where the documents were found is just plain weird. In a few weeks, I will visit my father's grave. I never leave things there; I know he cannot see them. I will, however, take all of your reported articles on Kerry's activities and leave them by his headstone. All I can do is tell him he has been vindicated. David Watson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prostituting churches -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the story "IRS: Churches can't pray for Bush victory": Tax exemption is a privilege, not a right. No one forces a nonprofit organization to seek tax-exemption, but once an organization has accepted the benefits of Section 501(c)(3), it's only fair that it play by the rules – or give up the exemption. If the issues mean so much to the congregations involved, they should put aside their exemptions and follow the dictates of their consciences. Holding back on matters of conscience because of money is nothing less than moral prostitution. Denis Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What are they thinking? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How have the voters of the United States of America "progressed" to the point that they would seriously consider voting for a Ted Kennedy vote-alike for president and an ambulance-chaser for vice president? Our elected officials are accurate reflections of the voters of America. What has changed us since President Reagan won by a landslide and now? Sam Wall More..... worldnetdaily.com
