To the Editor:
Republicans aren’t the only people who believe in God. Remember, My God is a loving God. My God loves all people.
I don’t need an AK-47 to hunt deer, I use a 1916 Swiss Schmidt-Rubin K-31 Military Carbine or a modified M-1 government-issued six shot clips. Remember where going postal started and by who? We could use a few less hand guns on the market. The words “gun control” are important not to deny.
Pirates were working in Somalia during the Bush Administration with no action taken, Obama gave the order to use all force necessary, killing the first pirates in more than 200 years.
Google John Negroponte and visualize all he did in El Salvadore and the CIA-trained Honduras military that operated the death squads in the ’80s kidnapping and killing thousands in the name of big oil or the failed coup on the legally elected President Hugo Chavez for big oil. Wouldn’t the U.S. classify these as terrorist attacks if done to these United States. Recognizing and admitting wrongs to others is a good thing. We legally tried, convicted and executed Japanese for war crimes such as water torture yet condone the same treatment to our enemies. Obama is trying to fix a broken system.
Wind power is working. Hooray for clean alternative fuels where Edmond is a leader. Oil companies are cutting back on drilling because of a glut on the market, where is that “Drill Baby Drill?" I can fill my gas tank with $1.60 a gallon gasoline not Bush-Cheney $4 per gallon gasoline.
Janet Napolitano wants to go after the employers who hire and exploit the illegal immigrants, which will get rid of the jobs that bring those illegals. Look at the roofing crews or concrete finishers working in your neighborhood. If they have to hire a foreman who speaks Spanish, who causes the problem?
Cancel the contract on overpriced F-22 fighters to purchase the less expensive more versatile F35 that can be used by all branches of the military sounds Intelligent to me and Intelligence in purchasing for our military has been lacking for a long time.
Same sex marriage I find hard to understand. After looking at myself in the mirror, I find it hard to believe that my wife wanted me, but thank God she did. I don’t feel threatened by someone else’s desires and I hate to deny anyone life’s happiness or beliefs as long as it doesn’t interfere with my own. Somewhere I remember the words “pursuit of happiness.”

Politicians need to be more factual
Like many fellow citizens of Edmond, I have observed the strenuous campaign for District 41 state Senate seat between Paul Blair and Clark Jolley. During my 24 years in Edmond, I can’t recall the level of effort and money spent for a state Senate seat.
