Some "highlights":

"The American people are hearing such responses as “I wasn’t there,” “I wasn’t a party to the decisions,” “I don’t know,” “I can’t recall,” “I would never allow such happenings,” I this and I that — leaving the Congress with no response."

(I bet this guy had no problems with such answers during the Iran-Contra hearings.)

"It is inconceivable to me that we have elected a man with a completely different political philosophy than that of the “free” world, and that so many of our fellow citizens still follow him even though we have fallen so far in the eyes of the rest of the world."

(I'd like to see his documentation for this claim.)

"In past speeches, he has divided our nation by expressing those who oppose him as his enemies..."

(You mean like "you're either with us, or you're with the terrorists"?)

"As an American (an aging one at that), I am only expressing my right to “free speech,” hoping a few souls might wake up to our changing nation in the hope it is not too late to stem the tide of turning into a third-world country."

(Translation: "Black people! Black people everywhere!&quot

1. Sorry to have to tell you this; but, a 'nutjob' LTTE has a much better chance of being published....

.....in most local papers than anything rational. I'm afraid that's been true for some time; I remember some of the letters in The Tulsa World from the 1960s and 70s.

2. You should see the letters

in the arkansas democrat gazette. The loony toons are on display every day!!

3. This is nothing compared to their "Sound Off" call-in section.

Or as I like to call it, "Grandpa Simpson Speaks".

4. Great!!!

Now everytime I read a letter I am going to hear the voice of Abe Simpson! !

5. We had a nut writing to our local paper.

Total right-wing nutjob, writing long ranting letters every single week blasting everything Democrats did while kissing the ground Republicans walked on. I guess the paper got fed up with him, too- they eventually started placing his letters in the middle of the car ad section.
