    Here we go again. Now that the left has failed to codify the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party as racists, they have turned to using the term of “terrorists.” The media, Democratic congressmen, and even the vice president have used the words “terrorists,” “jihadists” and “terrorist bombers” to erroneously vilify the TEA Party.
    This is the ultimate in hypocrisy for when the Islamists actually attacked us on 9/11 and the many attempts after, the left couldn’t bring their tiny minds to call them terrorists.

    I would like to respond to Danny Johnson’s letter, “Alcohol sales on Sunday have nothing to do with eating out,” in the Aug. 10 edition of The Lancaster News.
    Mr. Johnson is entitled to God’s Day, as freedom of religion is part of our founding. That same founding calls for separation of church and state. Mr. Johnson has no right to try and force his beliefs on others.

  • Teachers educate, inspire and challenge students

    The taps on his wingtips clicking on the hardwood floor of his classroom – that’s one sound I’ll never forget from that first day in his class.
    And how professional he looked – not just that first day – but every day.
    Or how he made history come alive because he was such a great storyteller.
    Mr. Bennett Gunter shaped my ideas of how a professional educator looks, teaches and manages a class, and he gave me a vision for what education can do for a person.

  • Cureton embodies true spirit of service

    Dr. Deborah B. Cureton is not only an educator, a humanitarian and a servant to our community, but she is also a cherished family member with whom I’m very proud. She respectfully embodies the spirit of my mother and her father which encourages me to be the best me that I can be.
    I am also inspired by her service work, which propelled me to pay it forward to those in need of a helping hand.

  • County responsible for Edenmoor

    Excuse me, Mr. Willis, it’s difficult for me to understand how the undeveloped property and community roads in Edenmoor could still be “private property” since the Forfeited Land Commission completed foreclosure proceedings, which I believe took place in the last months of 2010. And I’m pretty sure I could convince a judge who is legally liable for occurrences on the property while under the FLC’s control.
