Letters to the Editor Oct. 30, 2012

To the Editor:

With all due respect, I suggest that Mr. Charles Bowling (letter to editor published Oct. 23) look up the facts regarding the number of executive orders signed by President Obama. The stated 923 is an urban legend as are many of the other remarks in his letter.

If you would bother to verify the information you wrote about, you would know this.

This is nothing other than right wing lies to discredit our current president.

By all means, vote. And vote for your choice. But do it based on facts and not vicious rumors.

As of Aug. 10, 2012, President Obama had signed 135 executive orders.

Yours truly,

Rita Knapp

Indianapolis

To the Editor:

Karl Swihart of Avon persuaded Dr. Orly Taitz, a California lawyer who attacks President Obama's birth records etc., to make me her sponsoring lawyer for suit in Indianapolis to remove Mr. Obama from the ballot as not being a natural born citizen

 I did, to the chagrin of many who regard me as strange. Maybe I am, but I am also curious.

Not even sure why I write.

The trial was Oct. 22 in Judge S. K. Reid's court, she a former adversary in a case I had. Judge Reid is honest, brave. We disagree, but respect each other.

We have been "gobsmacked," a word Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal uses to mean shocked, ambushed.

The birth certificate the White House published 18 months ago online to prove Mr. Obama's birth 4 August 1971 in Honolulu is a forgery, so says expert Paul Irey, formerly of Air Force intelligence.

No contrary evidence was offered, though opponents were informed of the evidence in March or so.

The evidence is in.

This is not a political case, it is a Constitutional Law case.

This is a nightmare. May God protect this nation.

Sincerely,

Greg Black

  • Farewell to a friend

    I hate dog movies. In dog movies, the good, loyal, lovable dog always dies at the end and I end up sitting there in the dark with big tears streaming down my cheeks.

  • Where the buck stops

    Mr. President, the buck stops with you.

    President Truman set that standard, with these very words posted on a sign on his Oval Office desk.

    But now, with over a thousand days left in this second Obama administration, we find a Nixonian stench emerging from the “W. House.”

  • The media’s tea party moment

    Rarely has the White House briefing room so resembled the main ballroom at a meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference.

  • It’s a barnyard fashion show

    I’ve not kept it a secret that I find people who dress their dogs in clothes to be, to put it nicely, somewhat more than just eccentric. And many friendly, helpful readers out there have not kept it a secret that they really wish I would not express my views about dogs dressed as humans.

  • Seizure of AP phone records an insult to independent press

    Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.

  • ‘Patriot’ games at the IRS

    It sounds like the plot from a dystopian libertarian novel. The word “patriot” and the phrase “educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights” triggered heightened scrutiny from the most intrusive agency in the federal government.

  • Is it squirrel season already?

    The action at the bird feeder has been spectacular lately: Cardinals, finches, songbirds in impressive variety crowding around all day long in search of sustenance. It is truly gratifying …

    For my neighbor.

    That’s what it’s like at his feeder.

  • A majority leader in training

    Everyone presumes that Sen. Chuck Schumer, the media-hungry Democrat from New York, wants to be the next Senate majority leader. His performance in the negotiations over the Gang of Eight immigration plan should bolster his case for an eventual promotion.
