Reduce CO2 yes ... but cap and trade, no

I’m in favor of taking action to reduce CO2 emissions and to protect our environment. But I don’t support the “cap and trade” plan now being debated in the Congress.

Liberal Catholics can’t handle the truth

ROME — Some things are beyond parody. In announcing that Barack Obama is more Catholic than the pope, Newsweek takes the cake.

What mentors do

When Sonia Sotomayor was a law student, she told a professor that her career goal was to be a federal judge. But more than a decade later, when she was urged to apply for an opening on the district court in New York, her mentor and law partner at the time, David Botwinik, could not get her to complete the necessary paperwork.

N.D.’s prosperity creates a challenge

North Dakota has been an island of prosperity as the rest of the country has been experiencing widespread job layoffs, business closings, home foreclosures and the other calamities that accompany economic downturns. While other states have limped along, North Dakota’s gross domestic product expanded by 7.3 percent last year to lead the nation.

Sonia from the block

In her now-famous speech at the University of California in 2001, Judge Sonia Sotomayor probably made a political mistake. She spoke the truth. “Our experiences as women and people of color affect our decisions,” she told a law-school forum. “The aspiration to impartiality is just that — it’s an aspiration because it denies the fact that we are, by our experiences, making different choices than others ...”

Is it speculation or atmospheric science?

There may be good days that the Lord has made but I will not lay the whole of spring in North Dakota at his door. This has been an inadequate start to the summer season. The Bible says that weather falls on the just and the unjust but, if you ask me, the just have been taking it in the shorts this spring.

Mr. President, here is common ground on abortion

President Obama has reneged on an increasing number of his pledges on taking office — from guaranteeing a transparent, accountable administration to ending CIA “renditions” of suspects to foreign nations known for torture. Now, however, he has a golden chance to fulfill his often-repeated goal of achieving a “common ground” in the abortion wars.

Congress putting D.C. kids in danger

Columnist Thomas is going far too easy on Obama

Helen Thomas is a self-proclaimed liberal. Of course she would side with President Barack Obama. She talks of the spending bill being transparent when no one was allowed to read it, even when they were promised 48 hours on the internet before the vote. The lesson on this one is beware of anyone who talks of an “ethical” or “transparent” administration.

Letter to the editor: Thomas’ column wrong about Christian movement

A recent column in the Jamestown Sun by syndicated columnist Cal Thomas titled “RIP Religious Right” focused on the “demise” of the religious right movement and those who are engaged in many ways in the fight against forces that are attempting to pollute and harm our culture and society. These would include militant homosexuals, people who promote abortion and pornography, television and movie producers who promote filthy language, nudity and extreme violence and the makers of video games that promote murder and torture, to name but a few.
