RE:          Letter to the Editor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Cynthia Tucker editorial

Dear Editorial Board:

In my opinion, it was in poor taste that the AJC chose to run Cynthia Tucker’s piece “No tears for America of yesteryear” in today’s editorial section. Don’t get me wrong—I am a strong supporter of the freedom of speech, but Ms. Tucker took that liberty, provided to us by our Founding Fathers, and abused it, while at the same time, put down the very men who provided her with that right.

Her words scream out “insecure” in a piece where she calls Sadie Fields an ultra-conservative GOP activist who believes “we should all be scared witless about an Obama presidency because it will cause a liberal tsunami that abandons the vision of our Founding Fathers.” Is this editorial some kind of joke? Ms. Tucker wastes no time and fights back, comparing a true statement made about the difference between what our Founding Fathers wanted for this country and how Obama wants to destroy that very foundation and certain principles of The United States Constitution. Has Ms. Tucker forgotten the name of the newspaper for which she writes? Or, perhaps she dislikes America in the same way Michelle Obama did, does…heck, we don’t really know, do we?

Thomas Jefferson said, “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” Does Obama see himself as larger than life and smarter than the Founders themselves? One thing is for sure, when he wins this election, his liberal Senate will probably form a filibuster-proof majority, the very thing the Founders fought against in creating a government of limited power…the very thing we politically-aware folks call socialism.

Dear Editorial Board:

I find it deplorable that your newspaper chose to include an article about the cost of Sarah Palin’s makeup artist, yet didn’t run anything about the shocking and highly disregarded corruption of ACORN (The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) and one of its involved community organizers, Barack H. Obama.

Look…let’s face it. Obama will probably win in November. And while conservatives will be disappointed, the worst of it is that they will walk away knowing the liberal media, along with ACORN and its contributors, seriously skewed and altered the election. Atlantans, unfortunately, have only one local newspaper to read, and that newspaper, yours, should provide us with justifiable, rational and balanced political information, which includes the use of political comics, of which you choose to run only one by Mike Luckovich, a guy who does nothing but paint a negative picture of conservatives.  Readers who don’t research the issues on their own or work in local politics, such as myself, will believe what they read in your paper. The decision-makers at the AJC, such as Cynthia Tucker, know this, and along with their Obama endorsement, are literally working as an extension of the Obama campaign itself to get this guy elected president.

While ACORN continues to destroy and distort this election and Obama continues to get “the pass” on everything from Reverend Wright to his “a light will shine down” comment, to finally this atrocity of the ACORN scandal, the AJC continues to protect its readers from such critical and dangerous information. Imagine they knew the whole truth?

As I have written before: How can any conscientious and self-reliant American voter support such nonsense?! And, as my friend would say, It’s an “Obamanation!”
