Letter to the editor | Convenient untruths

Published: November 13, 2012 

Did all the Barack Obama supporters see what happened to the stock market the day after he was re-elected?

All the pension funds with investments in the market were decimated. That includes retirement income for teachers, government workers and union members.

Apparently economic policy was not important to Obama supporters. They also didn’t care about this administration’s covert gun-running operation from Libya to Syria resulting in the death of our ambassador and three other Americans.

They were unconcerned about the administration’s other gun-running operation, Fast and Furious, that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexicans and supplied the gun that killed an American border security guard.

How convenient for the administration that the news about one of our drones being fired at by Iranian jets over international waters was not released until after the election. Also convenient was the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus days before he was to testify about the Benghazi disaster.

But disastrous economic and foreign policies are unimportant as long as successful business is penalized and discouraged; windmill and solar farms obliterate our open spaces; and sexually promiscuous women can receive free contraception or an abortion if an inconvenient pregnancy results from their activity.
