Editor: In regard to “Conservative Law and Order,” lawlessness (especially of our constitutions and federal statutes, BY our elected and appointed federal officials) are at the highest levels in my lifetime [57 years.] Feds pick and choose which laws to enforce and which to ignore. The Affordable Care Act [upheld by all 3 federal branches] is the most egregious violation of BOTH our federal and State constitutions, 10th amendment, State and personal sovereignty and Liberty. Has a single State, let alone every State, asserted the 10th amendment and federalism in defense of our Rights and Liberty? Sadly, the answer is NO! Unless this lawlessness is reversed, and SOON widespread chaos and mayhem are certain to follow. Chas Jones

Editor: Regarding “Conservative Law and Order,” I have persistently asked the question of conservatives as to how we can work harder to enhance our credibility and reduce reactionary, divisive rhetoric as well increase our presence in liberal journals and media. Despite some attempts while working for the Conservative Party as community chairman (only briefly); I became dismayed at the pressure to simply continue the knee jerk rhetoric rather than expand efforts to include contributions to liberal journals and studying democratic strategies. The purpose is to open a dialogue and educate more on conservative ideals and how it might work. The significance of this presidential election is unparalleled: gaining minorities, poor and independents will be critical for a GOP win. Sincerely Philip Young

Editor: In regard to Daniel Pipes’ “Costs of Israeli Strike”, Israel has every right to defend itself, and the consequential outcomes are the results of other nation’s inaction, especially the US inaction, foot dragging and wasting time with delaying sanctions thinking Iran will comply. Iran has no intention of complying not now not ever. If it isn’t clear these people are fanatics and don’t mind being Martyrs for Allah, Mohammed, or anyone else they think they need to use for a reason to HATE others. It is insane to think anyone can “negotiate” with people more than willing to blow themselves up because they HATE Christians and Jews so much. Those who believe it’s possible to change the minds of Iranians are simply fools. CC

Editor: Right on to Alex Castellanos in his “Maddow Wage-Gap Myth.” Keep up the good work. But he might want to tell his bosses that keeping any eye on her is a smart thing to keep up with what the competition is doing. Keep on watching that woman. Don’t let her get an upper edge. Art Frailey

Editor: Good article by Gary North titled “Photo Refusal Costs $7,000” about the New Mexico photographer who was fined for not taking pictures at a gay wedding. I don’t remember hearing before of this case. I agree- we must mobilize while we still are allowed to do so! Thanks for being our watchdog and alerting us! Priscilla Parness
