Kool-Aid’s global warming flavor
Every fellow graduate geologist I know believes that Mother Nature plays, by far and away, the most important role with regard to the fate of our planet and universe. This is especially evident before man made his appearance. Now then, Robin may have 16,000 ministers, movie actors and Occupy Wall Street types supporting his view, […]

‘Mistaken environmentalists’
He belittles religion for explaining climatology, yet endorses the greenieweenie acceptance of pseudo-science to state that climate change is largely due to man. Since the earth’s atmosphere is comprised of 95 percent water vapor, it stands to reason that the moist air will retain much of the heat generated by our sun. Carbon dioxide comprises […]

Regressive progressives
Rob Bennett (Letters, “Ignorance isn’t bliss,” June 29) finds fault with Oklahoma Gazette for publishing my views on various subjects.

He cites that he pays taxes for the privilege of riding on the streets and/or bicycle paths. How much of his bicycle tag goes to roadways and paths? And, since […]

‘A few racists’
Ted Rider (Letters, “Turn and face the strain,” Aug. 18, Gazette) apparently wants to believe that the Tea Party promotes and tolerates racists so badly, that he is willing to accept the lies and mistruths being spread by Tea Party opponents. Almost any group will have a few racists. Just look at the Southern Dim-wit-o-crats […]

Enslaving future generations to poverty and misery’
The current Democratic Party’s populist plans for “Obamacare” for the U.S. cannot possibly work, as history teaches us that the government bankrupts everything it controls. Obamacare and other unfunded entitlements will result in complete disaster. The Democratic Party leaders of today are guilty of more than malfeasance; they are enslaving future generations to poverty and […]
