From a Post Regsiter letter to the editor: Wednesday
March 21, 2007

I can't understand why Leon Harmon of Iona complained about letters to the editor being allowed only 250 words, while "liberal" editorials get 450 words. Well, in case you hadn't noticed, the conservative editorials get 450 words also. And there are certainly more conservative editorials than there are liberal ones.

I get really sick and tired of Mike Adams, Michael Strickland, Lenore Barrett, Kathy Stanger, Ray Swenson, et al. -- but, I accept them as the Post Register's attempt to balance things. And I respect and admire the paper for doing so.

Harmon mentions the corruption in the Democratic Party when Bill Clinton was president. Have you taken a good look at the Republican Party? That party is more than just a little familiar with, and guilty of, corruption. It goes with power.

And why attack Tom Walsh because he thinks differently than you do? This country is a democracy, and that allows for differing views.

I have actually had some readers suggest I should move to a different country because my political views are different from theirs, and that of course means they are right and I am wrong.

If we all have to think alike to be good Americans, then this is not a democracy; it would be Hitler's Germany.
