Letters to the Editor Archive

I have copies of “The world’s Meanest Mom”, printed in the Press Gazette on May 4, 1995, in another area paper on May 8, 1994, and where Ann Landers on October 22, 1983 wrote “Country Needs More Mean Mothers”. Amen to that!  For those not familiar with it, here’s the blessing! Many of us can relate to most or all of it, Praise God!

It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter to you. Yesterday, I stated my position and had every intention of moving forward; however, Commissioner Williamson’s recent Facebook post demands an answer.

Remember me?

We’ve just celebrated Memorial Day. Flags galore saturated areas, TV, and events nationwide. God Bless the Boy and Girl Scouts, et al for placing flags at graves of men and women who gave their lives that we might enjoy freedom. A thrilling sight brings tears to my eyes every year!

Typical Robbie Williamson thinking. He goes to remove a public sign at 1 am WITHOUT any tools. Now that he admitted he did it Robbie should be charged with destruction of public property.  When the new sign goes up and if someone doesn’t like it, according to Robbie, they can remove the sign. Can you picture Robbie stumbling around at night looking for tools?

As you all are aware, Commissioner Rob Williamson removed the temporary Navarre Beach entrance sign (Hwy 98/Navarre Beach Causeway) under the cover of night on May 25. After being interviewed by Channel 3 News, he recorded and posted online his justification for his actions. The following is a breakdown of those comments, in part, followed by my own thoughts. I have attached the audio so each of you can listen for yourselves, and so there can be no accusation that I inaccurately wrote what he said.

Families, friends, et al are wishing graduates well. Churches are giving them Bibles, the Greatest Book ever written, never to be superseded, the ultimate gift. Praise God!

Before leaving office President Obama commuted: (1) The sentence of traitor Bailey Manning. He leaked sensitive national security information putting our troops at risk.  (2) The sentence of Puerto Rican nationalist Oscar Rivera, serving 50 years in prison for plotting to overthrow the U.S. Government, whose group killed 4 Americans in a New York City bombing in1975, and (3) pardoned and commuted the sentences of hundreds of criminal cocaine and heroin dealers. Many were outraged; I voiced mine!

s there such a thing as “absolute”? The dictionary states that “good” and “evil” are “absolutes” when using the word as a noun. Mathematics is absolute because it historically has only offered true answers to correct equations that answer many of society’s and science’s questions. Religion and mythology are not absolutes because it requires faith for their existence. Mythology is aligned to a period of time when humans worshipped Gods of the land, sea and air. The Bible is a mixed book of religion, history and moral teachings but both are associated with the history of the advancement of man.
