To the editor:
When you’re a man you have to be really careful about your feelings and emotions, and how you express them.  There are certain things that real men just aren’t supposed to do. No tears, no sad farewells, no feelings of real loss that anyone might notice. Be strong, be confident in who you are as a man. No cracks in that armor that might show sensitivity on your part, after all you have that image that society expects you to maintain.  

To the editor:
During our national “summer of discontent” leading up to the passage of the health care bill, the Tea Party movement grabbed headlines with its passionate opposition to that specific bill along with other concerns around which they coalesced.
They often confronted their elected representatives in town hall meetings, so much so that many of those representatives stopped participating in those forums.
Tea Partiers were passionate, often raucous, and sometimes boorish in their energetic efforts to make themselves heard.

To the editor:
Our Constitution requires the president to give information of the state of the union to Congress and recommend such measures as “he shall judge necessary and expedient …”
Congress received no such information from President Obama on Jan. 25. No specific measures were recommended to address the 50.2 million impoverished Americans or any of the other well-known problems that range from debt and meaningless wars to the tyrannical lobby industry.

To the editor:
I just got the time to sit down to enjoy reading The Anderson News, one of my favorite things to do.
My first thought was that this is a very good day.
As I looked down the first page, there is Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway introducing an ordinance. Oh, gee wiz, what now.
As I said, it did start out to be a very good day.
What the heck is wrong with you people? Get a life or a new job.
