Editor: I agreed with the Marsala article but feel that he left out one giant fact about the children who grew up to be such liberals. When the U.S. Supreme Court removed the Bible and prayers from our schools, they also removed the basis for our morality also. So, if there is no God as the Supremes wanted our children to believe, then there is no foundation for integrity and common standards either.

Editor: In regard to the Pipes article, you have probably seen it, but an e-mail I received recently told of an interview by a Christian minister with a Muslim cleric. The upshot of the discussion was a sheepish admission by the Muslim that, indeed, the Koran states that Muslims have a responsibility for killing all "infidels", and further, that "infidels" refer to all non-Muslim believers. I certainly agree that this response about the arrest of an American Muslim with the described background was entirely warranted.

Editor: I was upset, as an American and Republican, to read about how the United
States "bowed to broad opposition on the Security Counsil and announced it
was dropping its effort to gain immunity for its troops from prosecution by the
International Criminal Court..." in the NY Times. I haven't heard much response in the media on this, not even conservative talk radio other than Mike Savage even though this was a front page story.

Editor: As we gather with friends and family this Summer, let us not forget those soldiers, sailors, aviators, and marines who have come before us and surely will stand as guardians of democracy long after we are gone. Please pray for our leaders both soldier and civilian. Pray that God grant them wisdom and guidance, and that God's grace protect those who are currently in harms way. Pray God grants our soldiers strength so that they can carry out the mission they were sent to perform.

As we celebrate so freely, please try to imagine there are millions and millions of people throughout the world who yearn to have the very freedoms we were so blessed to be born into. Never take your freedoms for granted! They were bought and paid for in the blood of many brave Americans. God Bless our troops.

Editor: Since both major parties are destroying America by allowing illegal immigration/amnesty, I would vote for a 3rd party if a viable one would develop. Until then I will hold my nose and vote for George Bush as he will undermine us more slowly than Kerry.

Editor: It is My considered opinion that the DNC had Kerry choose Edwards as a running mate because he is expendable! Bill and Hillary and the usual gang don't want Edwards around in 2008. Think Mondale/Ferraro. They want to keep the heavy hitters like Gephardt and his ilk available. Edwards' Senate career was on the rocks anyway. Hillary may also choose Gary Locke for a running mate. But they want to get Kerry and Edwards truly washed-up and un-electable for anything. Duncan S. Feller, Seattle

Editor: I would be happy to back a Republican who would support minimal government and maximum individual freedom. I vote with the Libertarian Party because the Republican Party isn't "republican" enough for me right now. Republicans talk about reducing government spending, but never do. What is needed is an elimination of government departments, regulations, inspections, and employees. Stop agricultural subsidies. Stop import quotas, and higher tariffs. Stop funding useless education programs. Eliminate the Department of Education. Eliminate the Department of Agriculture. End funding of the IMF and World Bank. Stop foreign subsidies. Remove troops from Germany and Europe and other countries.

When I was a Republican, the valid excuse was that the Democrats controlled Congress and that Republicans couldn't reduce the size of government. When Republicans controlled the Congress, all that happened is that pork went to different people. No reductions in government. Why should I waste my vote on George Bush or John Kerry? I'm voting Libertarian for Michael Bednarik. He at least promises to do the things I want done. Perhaps once he is in power, he will be corrupted too. However, I know that Bush hasn't reduced the size of government, and that Kerry never even promised to reduce government. Bednarik may not be elected, but what is the point of voting for Bush just because he may not be quite as horrible as Kerry?

Editor: The fact that Kerry got on stage and defended the Hollywood pundits sick and vile remarks about our President by saying "They are the heart and soul of America" sickened me. I live in Hollywood and I have long known how crazy many of the Hollywood stars are who have long ago lost touch with reality. But to have our Democratic candidate for President align himself with these people and call them the heart and soul of this great nation is rather scary.

Editor: Why anyone thinks that the Libertarian Party is conservative is something I
cannot understand. They support abortion, homosexual unions, legalization of
drugs and the right to burn the flag. These are not conservative positions
and as a Christian conservative I could never support this party. Jim Duane, New
Jersey

Editor: "An Islamic Conspiracy For World Conquest" is the first and only book ever written by a non-American, Arab-Muslim scholar that proves that Bush's decision to invade Iraq was not wrong after all and that his 'crusade' against Islamic terror is totally justified. Yours truly, Ahmed Mohamed, Author

Editor: Ron Reagan's appearance at the Democrat convention will most certainly not embarrass Republicans. His persona personifies the Democrats. He has been such an embarrassment to himself for so many years that the Republicans have dismissed him for what he is: a dilettante who can only make a name for himself by his outrageous repudiation and degradation of all things that his father championed. He is certainly not speaking for his father in championing stem cell research, which President Ronald Reagan opposed. President Bush has given a very measured, scientific response to the issue based on the best and newest information from the scientific community.

The Democrats hope to capitalize on the appearance of Ron the Younger but, believe me, this does not trump the appearance of Senator Zell Miller (D) at the Republican convention as a man of real principles -- not contrived for 15 minutes in the limelight.

Editor: An independent film maker by the name of Mike Wilson has created a counter-film called Michael Moore Hates America. The official website of the film is www.michaelmoorehatesamerica.com. The film is also listed on the Internet Movie Database at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411646/
We need to throw our support behind Mike Wilson and his film, and help to publicize it as much as possible. We can show America that the left-wing extremists are wrong and that this still is and will always be a great nation. Together, with God's help, we can hold America together.

Sincerely, Nicholas Gausling
