Letters to the Editor

The letter by Lee Lamirand (“Sad state of affairs,” Nov. 4, 2009, Gazette) taking me to task noting I was naming the opposition all kinds of names, such as racist, heartless, fascist and segregationist have no basis in my letter. I re-read my letter, then Mr. Lamirand’s letter and I cannot find any basis in […]

I’ll take Harry Mitchell’s bait (Letters, “Taking a step back,” Oct. 21, 2009, Gazette) and proclaim “damn right!” the country would be better off if some of the conservative voices he speaks of had been heard in the past. Mr. Mitchell was smart enough to know that many “folks” would read his letter and feel […]

I was somewhat confused by the content of a letter (“Down the memory hole” by Lee Agnew) and a Commentary (“The Obama effect” by Kurt Hochenauer) that appeared in the Oct. 28 edition of Oklahoma Gazette. Mr. Agnew takes conservatives to task because they dared to speculate about the possible consequences of pending health care […]

Thank you for Jack Money’s article on the Farmers Public Market at 311 S. Klein Ave, downtown Oklahoma City (News, “To market,” Oct. 14, 2009, Oklahoma Gazette).
