Wrong! If Lepo will Google a KWTV Channel 9 investigative story from May 20, he should come up with video plus this statement: “A 9 Investigates hidden-camera investigation shows how easily someone with a criminal record or mental illness could buy guns at a gun show — no questions asked. In all, the 9 Investigates […]

An inconvenient truth
However, the implied alternative that God is not “in the selective intervention business” is problematic for Meyers. If God never intervenes in “the utterly capricious and amoral world of motion” he created, why emulate and obey Jesus by asking and thanking God for food (or anything else)?

Misplaced blame
He is upset about the National Security Agency and its invasion of our privacy. Let me remind you about some things that happened in 2008 during the Bush administration.

Liberal angst
The statement that “by opposing background checks for gun buyers, Coburn and Inhofe voted in favor of allowing the mentally ill and criminals to buy guns” is pernicious. First, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System is still in effect for gun buyers just as it has been since 1994; second, opposition to the legislation […]

Profile of courage
It concerns me that the majority of U.S. citizens seem fine with the disturbing secret operations and lack of accountability of our government, as well as the ever-increasing rarity of truly objective, investigative reporting. —Jackie Schmid, Oklahoma City

Remembering segregation
In those days, I was a teenager working as a waitress in the bus station in Checotah. When African Americans got off a bus and came up front to the restaurant section of the bus station for food, I had to tell them, “No.” They had to eat at a counter in back, behind the […]
