Why did Bush wait the decision of former president Bush to Send troops to Somalia bewilder me. Why did he actually refrain from acting in Somalia sooner the somalis have been dying for years but Bush waited until just before he left office and thus bequeathed the problem to president Clinton. It looks More like a Well calculated political gambit than the so called Mission of mercy. C Clinton should take into consideration that what is actually needed in Somalia is a viable government and land Reform. Otherwise the Horn of Africa will blow a doleful note for another Century. Despite the intermixing of the United states National interest in Somalia the . Operation is praiseworthy and every sensible somali should applaud the join forces. A Adamu Aii Wei Brincken Germany the Liberal threat the letter a conservative intolerance july 13 is a classic example of the results that Liberal misinformation has produced. Their carefully crafted rhetoric has people believing that christianity is some dark Force or even worse a movement of maniacal Tho crafts ready to Force their standards on the weak and do sense less. The truth is that our country was founded by a fanatical christians Ever heard of the pilgrims and Many of the mores prevalent among fundamentalists were shared by our founding fathers. It is the Christian tolerance which has Ivan a foothold to Radical liberalism and Iberal intolerance is not willing to be As open minded As it would like you to be read hypocrites. Our Constitution provides for Freedom of religion a not Freedom from religion. The american civil liberties Union is making sure that our government is doing everything it can to hinder and thus interfere with the growth and practice of christianity. Radical liberals would like to believe View using such out of context snippets to hew whatever particular a he is grinding that Bay. This is blatantly tendentious editing of which i imagine he thinks 60 minutes is guilty. Also the a Liberal hosts done to Hawk Pun intended their books during shows or other products during commercial Breaks. Its telling that or. Limbaugh s vacation replacement on his radio show was my fellow californian . Rep. Bob Dornan. Those who think that or. Limbaugh is possessed of profound intellect and insight think Dan Quayle is exceptionally Brilliant. A staff sgt. . Sepulveda Cairo West Egypt presbyterians differ As a presbyterian chaplain serving in the . Navy i was compelled to write to you after Reading the letter a no Gays in  the author has made a generalization that a a. Presbyterians methodists and some off the Wall denomination in California allow admitted homosexuals into the  there Are eight separate presbyterian denominations in America. The Only one that allows admitted homosexuals into the ministry is the presbyterian Church in the United states of America Scusa. My denomination the presbyterian Church in America pc does not ordain admitted homosexuals As teaching ciders pastor ruling elders or deacons. The pc is As Strong in its opposition to ordaining anyone in Public sin including homosexuality As the Southern Baptist convention. Not All presbyterians Are As Liberal in their theology As the author has led Many to assume. A it. Cmdr. Timothy d. Rott London homosexual Riddle while i am not prejudiced against homosexuals i really done to know if president Clinton a policy As he stated it was they Are a Angels of Light a leading to a higher ground bringing enlightenment. Well ill do my own flunking thank you. I expect that some Liberal an staffer is afraid that if Rush Limbaugh were aired that people having heard the truth would become sick of their spoonfed Liberal Dogma and re evaluate their whole world View. Who knows they might even begin making truly informed decisions about their government and lifestyles. A Bob Brooks Vicenza Italy a tendentious limb regarding Rush in a a can take him or let him alone temporary duty to Cairo Egypt for Smice june in be had the Opportunity to listen to and watch his radio and to shows. Its false analogy to compare or. Lim Baughs show with Oprah or Donahue. On the a a Liberal shows representatives from both sides of an Issue Are usually presented. Or. Limbaugh a idea of equal time is to show soundbites of a speech or inter such a Good idea. Basically he said that an open statement by a Soldier declaring him or herself to be a homosexual would put the Burden of proof on them to prove that they intend to abide by the rules of the military. This sounds to me that if someone declares themselves to be a homosexual they have to prove they done to intend to engage in homosexual sex in order to remain in the military. This policy seems weak. There a not much difference Between this policy and the Way it was. The ban does no to seem fair. In a a heterosexual and no one told me i would be required to prove i done to intend to engage in heterosexual sex. My father was in the military when he was my age and he said that opposition to integrating the military and letting us Blacks in was nowhere near As Rabid As is he opposition to allowing homosexuals. A lot of people i know Are violently opposed to homosexuals and homosexuality in general. I work with two people who i firmly believe would walk up to someone and Start beating him if they Learned that person was a homosexual. No other provocation would be necessary. In a sure they Are far from the Only ones like that in the military. 1 realize that a total lifting of the ban would bring about action by Congress to have the ban Wrinkl Hutto Law. This is a thorny Issue that or Widt Clinton chose to spotlight and the usually is no easy Way out of it. He did Thebes he could but in reality no matter what he or anyone else did it Wasny to going to be Good enough. Those who Are opposed to homosexuality see no difference Between the quiet homosexual who does t stand out from anyone else and the a drag Queen Quot who likes to Parade around in women s clothing. I done to see Why the first kind ply _ Are homosexuals. I wish someone would should be banned simply because they explain to me exactly How they affect order and  spec. . Walker. Wurzburg Germany a a a a. A gun control farce once again the stars and stripes has pandered to the far out Liberal wacko View supporting gun control thereby serving As an outlet for leftist servicemen and women to codify their ignorant rhetoric. I have come to expect these kinds of arguments from Long haired Sandal Clad mall leeches who envy their parents and professor so a Woodstock Days a but to ear anti gun babble from a master sergeant in the military surprises me. The writer claims that the National Rifle association a has remained in the Woodwork during the Somalia fiasco. The Era like most americans knows that this is a Case where people were not allowed to have guns because their dictatorial government controls almost every weapon in the country. Hence this is an example of gun control in its most extreme form a where Ordinary citizens Are denied gun ownership. In every City in the United states where gun control has been enacted it has failed miserably. New York los Angeles and Washington d.c., Are perfect examples since gun control has allowed criminals to break the Law without worrying about armed citizens one can easily see Why these cities have the highest murder rates in the country. It is hot guns but individuals who commit heinous crimes. We need More jails harsher sentences for convicted criminals and More of the social fabric that liberalism has been tearing away at since the 60s. Banning guns will Only be instrumental to the criminal. Hopefully in the future servicemen and women will better educate themselves regarding guns and hopefully this paper will present a More balanced editorial Section one that does not pay credence to views that contradict not Only common sense but the .
