LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hang on to SS cards, Congress might strike
Don’t be surprised if Congress strikes our social security income. This country would be in ruin! Many people would probably have the urge to shoot the whole bunch. Don’t wait; shoot them now by voting them out of office! They have had their pie jobs too long!!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Quit telling me how to eat, God is my only nutritionist
I haven't sent a letter to a public forum in a very long time, but I feel it necessary to do so now. I get frustrated when some people think they are a greater authority on food than the Bible.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Guns in restaurants? He'll sit behind if has a chance
Thank goodness our state lawmakers are finally considering a bill that, if passed, will make our lives a lot safer. Senate bill S1255, which would allow gun owners to take their guns into establishments that serve alcohol, deserves the strong support of all freedom-loving people.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: College kids gloating is OK, adminstration? No
I do not think the billboards with the Francis Marion / USC baseball score is a good idea. I have no ties to either school so this is not a personal issue for me. In the old Andy Griffith show there was an episode when Andy said to Opie, his son, “It’s easy to be a good winner, you just grin a lot.” I think Andy would call the billboards braggadocios.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Parker, rest of media, will do anything for favored sons

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Texas decision reveals Obama's real priorities
Time for another Obama tactic: Texas used its own state power to refuse funds for abortions and what does the Obama administration do? Cut off all power for all of women's health program initiatives. Indeed, it means more to the Obama administration to refuse legitimate health services to the women of Texas if the state is simply not allowing funds for abortions to be received and used. I guess we can now recognize the priority of this administration: abortion.
