THE WASHINGTON TIMES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Impeachment is constitutionally right

Why have House Republicans not passed articles of impeachment against President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and the entire Obama administration? Published August 20, 2014

EDITORIAL: New Jersey nanny-staters should butt out

The Prohibitionists no longer smash casks of demon rum with a sledgehammer. Carrie Nation and her hatchet, the nemesis of many a saloonkeeper in days gone by, have retired to the history books. Soda pop and cigarettes have replaced booze as the national scourge. Published August 19, 2014

EDITORIAL: Economic strangulation with red tape

President Obama knows nothing about making the economy grow. On his watch, America's gross domestic product has inched forward at an annual average of 1.2 percent, according to World Bank data. We're outclassed not only by Brazil, China and India, but by Mali, Guatemala, Swaziland and Vanuatu. Published August 19, 2014

EDITORIAL: A Carter gay-rights ‘secret’ in Georgia

Jason Carter wants to follow in his famous grandfather's footsteps. Mr. Carter, a Democrat, is running for governor of Georgia, a position Jimmy Carter held for a term before moving on to the White House. Jason Carter is willing to say pretty much whatever it takes to win. Published August 19, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Wounded Knee 2014?

Now America knows what Sitting Bull felt like in 1876. It is ironic that the descendants of the very foreign invaders who destroyed the great Lakota Nation should now, 138 years later, be overwhelmed by foreign invaders themselves. Published August 19, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: IRS emails are still out there somewhere

The media coverage of the Lois Lerner emails is starting to drive me crazy. Is there no one in the media who understands that emails do not reside on the client computers but actually reside on the mail server? Published August 19, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘Targeted’ Islamic State response lacking

The United States and the rest of Western civilization are living in the 21st century, while barbarians such as members of the Islamic State live and act as if in the 10th century, but with 21st-century weapons. Published August 19, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Atheists, U.N. could use some Commandments

It seems the Freedom From Religion Foundation could make better use of its time by urging the United Nations to have a speech code containing the Ten Commandments of God for leaders of member countries to observe and promote among their citizens. Published August 19, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Don’t allow politicians to ruin U.S.

When President George Washington left office, he warned that the one thing that could destroy the experiment in democracy was political parties. Published August 19, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Charges against Kurdish government unfounded

I read "U.S. Yazidis wary of arming Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq" (Web, Aug. 13) with great concern. I think the story is inaccurate and misleading in several respects, that it is one-sided and rests on the personal opinions of two individuals who are both far from the front lines and poorly informed about the situation in today's Kurdistan region. Published August 18, 2014

EDITORIAL: The wrong way to restore peace in Ferguson

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, called out the National Guard on Monday to restore order to the streets of Ferguson. Heavily armed soldiers will take the place of even more heavily armed police officers who had been assigned to prevent looting as the mobs gathered to riot. Published August 18, 2014

EDITORIAL: Defang smile cartel that protects teeth-whitening procedures

A brighter smile can be readily available at the corner drugstore. Teeth-whitening kits can be used almost anywhere where a body can bear to sit still for a few minutes without talking or eating. Published August 18, 2014

EDITORIAL: The ‘case’ against Rick Perry

Prosecutors in Texas could have done the nation a service with the indictment of Gov. Rick Perry of Texas. The indictment of him is so transparent as vindictive prosecution that it will surely topple by its own weight, and beyond that, it could focus needed light on the urgent need for prosecutorial reform. Published August 18, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Islamic State must be wiped out

The barbarism of the Islamic State is shocking the whole world. Published August 18, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Perry indictment is an abuse of power

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has performed extremely well in his current position, particularly in this last term, in the areas of economic growth, employment, low taxes and carrying on the fight against President Obama's failed border security and immigration policies. Published August 18, 2014
