LETTER: The election finish line is near

The midterm elections will come to a merciful conclusion in a few days. I have quit watching the local TV news programs because of the nonstop onslaught of smear ads from all sides. In the case of Citizens United, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations can pour unlimited amounts of money into campaigns, and this is what we have to show for it.

Meanwhile, may I kindly request that in the next election all candidates pledge to not deface our public property with thousands of road signs. It is graffiti, plain and simple. I am Guy Heston, and I approve this message.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
