Undemocratic tactics

Obama is not Hitler, and neither was George W. Bush. STOP calling people Hitler! Until citizens are rounded and exterminated in internment camps or shot on the streets, Hitler is still dead. Geez!

Undemocratic tactics

• I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.

Those Republicans

I think we may be past the point of no return, folks. Pointing fingers at Reagan, FDR, etc. isn't helping. The genius we elected this time around, because of the historical significance, is digging a hole at a rate faster than all of those dead presidents put together. He's throwing us, and our children in it.
Welcome to the U.S.S.A. It's not coming. It's here.

The postal ‘service’

I say that the post office should raise the price of stamps to $ .50 a stamp and LEAVE IT THERE! I'm talking a good long time. I don't like the frequent increases, but I think I dislike even more the fact that they never seem to settle on an even numbered amount for the stamps. They went from .39 to .41, and didn't even stop at .40. I like to be able to figure out the price of 20 stamps without even thinking, instead of having to carry the one in my head.
As for lost mail, I sent a $400.00 check on Expressmail a few years back. I paid an inflated rate from Nebraska to Alabama to get it there in a day. Three weeks later, it showed. Think I got a refund? Not just no, but Hell NO!

Living green in Emporia

Earth Day is special to me because it was founded by Ira Einhorn, nicknamed the Unicorn Killer. He murdered his girlfriend, stuffed her in a trunk and stored her in a closet while he traipsed around the globe telling us how horrible we were in our cars. Whackjob!

Not Dangerous?

All large drinks will cost $1.49.9.

He made the tough call

Seems to me that Mr. Sanderson made the best decision he could at the time with the most expert information to be found at the time. Please keep in mind that there a lot of elderly veterans that would have made that parade, rain or shine. Many are from the Greatest Generation, for Pete's sake! If it had been during a steady downpour, there's a good chance that some of these heroes would have come down ill. Someone could have been struck by lightning. Slips & falls would have been an issue. What fun would that have been, for anyone? You scholarly critics need to take a chill pill and realize that, while the Emporia Veteran's Day is important, it's not life & death. These vets have run that risk already. Now it's time to honor them while we still have them around.

Emporia gives more to Obama than to McCain

Sounds like a reasonable investment. Folks expect to get back a lot more with an Obama presidency. Might as well donate those tax-free dollars to Obama so he can give back even more.

None

Just a taste of the future. Obama will be involved in every aspect of our lives!
