Letters to the Editor Archive

Should immigration serve the host country and its citizens or should it serve foreign countries and their citizens? The United States is no longer a frontier with a need for people to fill the void. Should immigrants fill empty jobs or take jobs from citizens? Our government has allowed immigration to explode, changing the character of our country for the purpose of political power or greed.

It’s 3:00 am. I can’t sleep. During visitation preceding a funeral recently, a pastor asked if I was still preaching the Gospel. My response: “At every opportunity God gives me.”  Three days later God gave me a whammy!

President Trump’s great medical report was no surprise to me. God’s giving him supernatural energy to execute his goings and comings, an unreal schedule.

We are blessed with two excellent weekly newspapers in Santa Rosa County: Gulf Breeze News and Navarre Press. Each keeps the readers informed of local news. It turns out that Letters to the Editor (LTE) are the most widely read section of any newspaper after the front page. I can tell you how best to write a “letter to the editor” but I must tell you that my success of getting them published is not good. All LTE’s are published at the discretion of the paper’s editors.

Good science exists after full and rigorous peer review. When science is subverted by politics it is no longer science but science fiction. The global warming or climate change claims are attributed to one variable and has excluded the effect of the sun and other variables. Of course there is climate change because the climate is driven by many variables.

The Florida House recently passed a bill that would ban the use of cameras at traffic lights in the state beginning in July 2021. The legislation now heads to the Florida Senate. I totally disagree with the 83-18 decision. I think additional cameras are needed at busy intersections throughout the state, and they should be implemented July 4, 2018. That would save hundreds of lives annually.

At the beginning our nation was formed as 13 independent states with a limited sovereignty from the federal government outlined and guided by the words of our Constitution of which each state ratified. This limited state sovereignty is also guided by the limitations placed on the federal government by the words of the same Constitution that limits the type and thus amount of sovereignty the States were willing to give away in forming our federal government to form the United States.

“Lord our Heavenly Father, High and Mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech thee, on these our American States, who have fled to thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent on Thee, to Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give; take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their Cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, of own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst Thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. all this we ask In the Name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior. Amen.”

Where is the low income housing for the tax payers in the south county District 4?

As always it’s good to indulge in the Christmas Kool-Aid but regarding your editorial, “The district 4 Master Plan…” it overhauls history, drops names and in short could almost convince a newcomer that incorporating Navarre will fix the problems.
