My e-mail: Dear Sir, Your decision to terminate Reporter Larry Conners after he was abused by the IRS for asking probing questions of Mr. Obama is shameful, to say the least. This action proves to millions of viewers and others that the press is so far in the tank for the Obama administration and the Left in general that they don't realize they've grown gills. Hopefully, your station will either go out of business, lose their license or be sold to someone concerned with journalism, not partisanship. Also, I hope that you and anyone else responsible for this decision will...

They can be louts like the Monagas brothers or Cipriano Castro or Juan Vicente Gomez or Marcos Perez Jimenez, but this poses no problem for the invertebrate members of the...

July 25, 2002 President George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Mr. President: The opportunists in Congress and commerce complain that it is inconsistent for the United States to do business with China and other dictatorships but to prohibit business with Cuba. They claim that doing business with and traveling to Cuba should be the right of Americans, and that it is in the national interest to allow it.
