SERVED IN NEW LONDON
Re: Ryan L. Cole's Remedial History:Vietnam Syndrome:

This is how myths get started. The Ryan L. Cole article "Vietnam Syndrome" says that Jimmy Carter "served in Korea." He did not. While Carter served aboard the submarine USS Promfret (SS-391) as an ensign, he was transferred back to the U.S. Navy's submarine base at New London, Connecticut, on February 1, 1951. The ship did not sail for Korean waters until later that month. Presidents Carter and George W. Bush are "era" vets.

TWO STEPS
Re: W. James Antle III's McCain's Immigration Two-Step and What About Bob?:

I appreciate the fact that your paper is, in spite of being in the bag for McCain, pointing out McCain's ambivalence toward the enforcement of Federal, Sate, and Local Immigration Laws. As the Chief of the Executive Branch, under which comes Law Enforcement (as well as "national security" of which the non-Border enforcing, non-terrorist squeezing, GitMo-closing McCain claims to be THE "expert" of the two "presumptives"), it would seem appropriate to go the next step and point out the implications of electing a Chief Law Enforcement Officer, taking an oath to secure domestic tranquility, that he fully intends to subvert the LAW and its INTENT.

It would also seem to be important, as an organ that might be used to constructively pressure either "candidate" or "President" McCain, that the vast number of deleterious effects of blanket amnesty, and large numbers of un-assimilated, non-English speaking minorities flooding into a country in increasing economic difficulty, to point out such possible effects in detail. Not to do so (while promoting the "lesser of two evils" as a candidate) might be perceived as being less than "objective" a journalistic approach...

James, I read your article about Bob Conley and his quest for the U.S. Senate against Lindsey. As a conservative/libertarian I will surely support and vote for Bob. As for your statement about Conley's inability to embrace either of the major party's candidates as quirkiness? Well, I guess I'm quirky also. I will not vote for McCain or Obama. You should have asked Conley if he'd support Bob Barr. I don't agree with everything Barr says but he is better than the other two clowns any day of the week. Thank you.

RAIN MAN
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s The Prophet Obama:

I call him Brag Obama, the Rainmaker. He shoots platitudes into the clouds, while his believers fall on their knees, and he promises to end their long drought and change their world into a paradise.
