Letter to the editor Jan. 23, 2013

To the Editor:

Sen. Pete Miller says those who oppose homosexual marriage are unwelcoming.

The effort of homosexuals to be accepted, as unsinful, dates visibly to 1979 at the latest.

Pete Miller, our representative in the 33-seat Indiana Senate, professes to be against same sex marriage. But he cannot be with these comments.

The issue is one of conviction, not expedience or popularity. Eli Lilly, Cummins Engine, have nothing to do with it, any more than money or profit does. It is an issue of Biblical interpretation, Scriptural belief.

Indiana has Hoosier hospitality, for all sinners. Just don't ask us to declare wrong right, right wrong. That, too, is unbiblical.

We love others. Don't tell us we do not, please.

We are a county of family values. We ask our elected officers to speak plainly, to represent who we are. Not to test the wind.

Sincerely,

Greg Black

  • Where the buck stops

    Mr. President, the buck stops with you.

  • 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.
