To the editor: RaeLynn Ricarte writes, in her column, “The present high level of deception would not be possible if citizens were grounded in the principles of the U.S. Constitution and truly understood how a republican form of government was supposed to work.” In a republic, the supreme power is held by the people. Our representatives do not supplant us; and politicians are not demigods.

To the editor: If the majority of U.S. citizens wanted the House and the Senate to work with the president to repair and rehabilitate America’s decline brought on by “The Obama Nation,” Democrats would have been elected. And still the Commander-in-Chief doesn’t get it.

To the editor: Here’s what happened to reliable reporting: An Obama daze has taken over the mainstream media. There is no real news. What we have is full-fledged presidential activists disguised as “objective” journalists who exclude any factual events that don’t reveal the commander-in-chief on a white horse in shining armor with a halo. This is actual, mater of factual censorship by omission (CBO). Say it with me now: “CBO has got to go!” Very good.
