A ‘muddled’ politician?

Anonymous Staff The Tahlequah Daily Press Mon Nov 12, 2012, 03:07 PM CST

TAHLEQUAH — Editor, Daily Press:

Mickey Edwards, former Oklahoma Republican congressman, spoke at Tulsa University Wednesday night about what he calls the “idiot” factor in national politics, an unwillingness to compromise. He named Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock as idiots, but called Newt Gingrich “one of the biggest idiots [he] ever met.”

But I bet he has never met one of Oklahoma’s newest congressmen, “Muddled” Mullin, who pledged in his victory speech Tuesday night to oppose everything Obama might propose.

Who’s listening?
Anyone who writes about social, political and economic issues for over 40 years might seem to be a little disturbed.

Pray for leaders, too
Dave Thomas needs to be sure he is uttering facts, not claims, before he prays.

In defense of the 2nd
There are four reasons why I am against a mandated background check to purchase a weapon. The first is how I read the Second Amendment: “...shall not be infringed..” means that Congress does not have any authority over “arms.” I do not believe a body of fallible men and women should have that kind of authority.

Foot patrol needed here
Folks are putting in [the Press] their pride for the police department. If all was so fine, why did we get a new chief?

In defense of cops
One of my pet peeves is people talking about something as if it’s fact when they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. In response to Phyllis Wilfong’s letter to the editor, let me set the record straight.

CN to be commended
I have to applaud Cherokee Nation’s investment in health care.

In appreciation of cops
Wow, maybe we should start dictating to our police force where, when, what time, what type of food, and with whom they should be eating! More often than not, co-workers are often seen lunching together. Why should law enforcement be looked upon any differently?

The unfriendly streets
I have lived in the Tahlequah area since 1994, and since 2009, within the city limits of Tahlequah. Since 2011, I have begun running in town, and since 2012, also started bicycling in town.
