This guy has been sending Letters to the Editor since 1995, and 98 have been printed – according to him. He is frequently asked for sources to what he writes. He provides them, then the Pantagraph prints his letters. The Pantagraph must be tired of looking foolish and uninformed, because now they won’t return phone calls or emails on what he submits. Therefore, I am printing his latest:
Progressives in major positions of power in America believe that our Constitution is outdated and needs to be changed to fit this new society. President Obama said in his 2008 campaign he was going to fundamentally transform America.
I think it is plain to see this transformation unfolding. Obama now has the power of NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) to class any American citizen as a terrorist to be arrested without charges and held indefinitely. This is a major violation of our Bill of Rights.
Police departments are now considering deploying surveillance drones in the skies over their cities. In a recent press conference Mayor Bloomberg of New York stated “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” then went on to say “But we live in a complex world where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”
Progressives have always used the term “change” or “transform” to work at destroying our Constitution which protects us from a tyrannical government. We desperately need to take America in the opposite direction from where Barack Obama and these Progressives are trying to take us. We need a much smaller federal government, with greater emphasis on freedom and liberty, a return to true free market capitalism, and politicians that are willing to actually serve and represent the American people.

It’s great to have a news media outlet like the BLN News to where we can go for the real truth instead of the Orwellian indoctrination cesspools of creating news instead of reporting it! THANKS BLN NEWS!!!
I don’t see anything wrong with the letter. Clearly it is just the man’s opinion so, so what? The Pantagraph does not serve the people very well at all.
Always remember that a Corporation is NOT a Democracy. The Pantagraph is part of a larger Corporation thus it is NOT a “Democracy”.
In regards to the guy’s comments:
The ability to classify any American citizen as a terrorist to be arrested without charges and held indefinitely… Progressives?!? Really?!?!? I believe this concept and being put into place came about during the more recent Republican NeoCon agenda’d George Bush era and it was a major violation of our Bill of Rights then, just as it is now.
Progressives creating a Tyrannical Government?!?!? Really?!?!? See above.
I believe that everybody needs to stop picking sides and realize that the ENTIRE government system is for sale, being bought and paid for and in this capacity has gone more than awry. If you “follow the money”, it will generally lead to the Federal Reserve, Wall Street and similar monied entities.
The enemy? “I have seen the enemy and it is US.” We have become lazy iPhone, tablet, TV and computer screen addicted ultra-gullible lemmings who agree with whatever bought and paid for Media Shill who screams the loudest, no matter what channel and no matter what party affiliation.
