LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Ten Commandments are ‘love speech’

FILE - In this Monday, Sept. 29, 2014 file photo, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters. In a pair of fiery speeches at the United Nations, the Israeli and Palestinian leaders appear to have abandoned any hope of reviving peace talks and instead seem intent on pressing forward with separate diplomatic initiatives that all but ignore each other. Both plans offer novel attempts at breaking months of deadlock, yet both appear doomed to fail. (AP Photo/John Minchillo, File)

Eight million stray dogs and cats find their way into animal shelters every year, and the lucky ones are adopted into a warm home with a loving family. Shelters are operated by small charities usually called "humane societies," whose good deeds are funded by private generosity. The Humane Society of the United States trades on the good of others to finance a radical agenda. Published September 30, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ACLU isn’t anti-religion, anti-prayer

Columnist Robert Knight seems to think some big victory has been won over the American Civil Liberties Union because a public high school in Tennessee has cheerleaders and the audience reciting a prayer following the discontinuation of the loudspeaker-broadcast, school-organized prayer ("Score: Prayer 1,000, ACLU 0," Web, Sept. 26).
