Editor: I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your article “Caesar or God: Who Is Dead” in the current ConservativeBattleline. I hope all goes well. Best, Myron Ebell

Editor: I thought “Caesar or God: Who Is Dead” was very well written. I am sharing it with friends. Shirley F. Wallace, The Woodlands, TX

Editor: You just hit a home run with this article, “Caesar or God: Who Is Dead”. Too bad the bases were empty. We need leaders with vision and faith instead of politicians who continue to make promises (requiring debt or taxes) in order to get re-elected. Thanks, Jim

Editor: “Caesar or God: Who Is Dead” was an excellent, enlightening piece, as usual. Rich Byman

Editor: Thank you for publishing that fabulous article “Bush Teaches Constitution.” Apparently very few Americans know much about this subject as we move further and further away from the Constitution's intent. Leah Kelley, Libertarian Party of Colorado

Editor: I just got to read your article on the U.S. Attorney firings in the 7/11 issue, “Poor Personnel.” (I love being able to download CBO for later reading, and archiving.) The ineptitude with which this was handled is obvious--and significant. You captured their failings both succinctly and rationally. Did someone forget that politics is a game? Your point about everyone being afraid of accusations that political activities are political is but another symptom of Through The Looking Glass thinking. Clinton fires 50 attorneys and not a peep. The U.S. Senate votes 98-0 not to ratify Kyoto, yet Bush is an environmental blackguard for not resubmitting it. Anyway, nice column. Tom Tripp

Editor: Amen to John Goodman’s analysis of Michael Moore in “Michael and Me” Moore is a Real Sicko!!!! As a Registered Nurse, I was appalled when I received a flyer from the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, promoting Michael Moore and his film, Sicko. This is plainly a union involved and as a long time, active R.N.I am incensed by this endorsement. The web site they gave is as follows: www.guaranteedhealthcare.org/sicko. They received a very shocking reply on the card sent to detach and mail. I am very glad that I receive your comments via the internet. Sincerely, Earlyne Robertson, R.N.

Editor: I probably enjoyed Carey Robert’s article “Katie on Way Out” more than I should have. There are only three people who will cause me to reach for the remote to change channels and Katie falls in right behind Byrant Gumble and ahead of Jesse Jackson. Thanks for the treat. Steve Carson, Chicago, Illinois

Editor: Regarding Carey Robert’s “Katie on Way Out?” she was a dud on the morning show but all the publicity about her made her a high paying item. When will people realize these people are over paid, plus remind the public she was ready to divorce her hubby but the cancer thing made her the perfect wife. Give me a break these people are all self centered thanks to good publicity. Anne Hanlon

Editor: I couldn’t tolerate Katie Couric’s LIBERAL BIAS on The Today Show, and refuse to watch her on the evening news. Has she ever considered staying home??????????? Pandj

Editor: Hey, We didn't like her on the show she had before, why would we like her as a news person? Letha

Editor: Thank Carey Roberts for his “Duke 88 Disgrace Ad” for letting the world know what is going on in our universities and what they are teaching our young ones today. Reading about the elitist attitudes of today's college professors is unnerving, and needs to be brought into line. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the leftist attitudes in this country, and their idea of what I should or should not do in my life, but should be led by their leftist illusions. I have always been a Democrat, but more importantly I have always been a patriot, (now I am a Republican) and it breaks my heart when I see spineless Republicans who are running this country are of such poor convictions, and lack a spine. We are on a slippery slope towards self destruction, and we need to change the course of this nation, back to the vision of Our Forefathers. Again, thank you and God Bless America. Don Pelchat

Editor: Thank you! Excellent article! These 88 names belong in a Hall of Shame. I am in agreement with Carey Roberts. It was a Lynch mob for sure! Dickie Harris

Editor: Even though I loathe cigars Alan Caruba's "Taxing Joy", shows the proposed tax is a ridiculous amount of money to spend. However at 71 I have seen what will happen especially during WW2. It was called Black Market then and is still called same. Don't worry sir after the government is through we will be doing the same with human organs, health visits to doctors, food and water. Thanks for article. Patty Gibbons, Sarasota, Fl.

Editor: Thanks for publishing Alan Caruba's "Taxing Joy", which sums up the anti-people and anti-freedom attitude of our national government as well as any article I've seen. This sorry state of affairs cries out for redress! Out of all the nearly 20 candidates - declared and undeclared - from both parties, there's only one man who has consistently beat the drum for less government and more freedom for the last 30 years. Do I even need to mention his name? Rep. Ron Paul is the "no-brainer" choice of anyone who's not content with stopping the growth of government control of our lives, but wants to begin rolling back that control. Sincerely, John Nehring

Editor: Regarding Alan Caruba’s “Taxing Joy” I have been waiting for smokers to say enough. I don't nor have I ever smoked. But since it is not illegal, it is your right to smoke. I have always wondered when the first suit was filed why the cigarette companies just didn't pull their product from the market in that state. Seem to me the people would have rebelled before now. Joann Glaser

Editor: I often describe myself as a William F. Buckley Jr conservative, as his entire career was the basis for my own formulation of political and commercial ideologies. As such, I found the newest links to ConservativeBattleline writers' stories to be outstanding. Please keep up the good work, as the Left regardless of who actually wants it is pushing for a USA subsistence culture lead by--as currently in Illinois--self-selected officials who interpret rule of law as "le etat c'est moi" and can pay their "henchmen" by raising current taxes and diverting Federal funds from even farms or foodstamps, with no eye toward future buying power, national debts, risks of just bringing in and funding any immigrants (so cash passes through to elite few, ala mass-scale housing project style ), or needs for any State budget. Anybody can siphon off a nation; conservatives offer a better plan and will likely prevail in 2008. As long as you, I, and the rest keep up the good work! Respectfully Submitted, Daniel C.
