Author of A Time To Kill
12 October 2006 Mr. Feldmeyer offered us counsel against the buffoonery of those in the persuasion of the naive “biblical literalist” (WNJ, 6 Oct., 2006). I was disappointed. But not surprised. Mr. Feldmeyer, the Pastor of Wilmington UMC, inveighed against a “biblical literalist” pastor in Watertown, New York who was attempting to apply the biblical […]
15 October, 2006 Dear Editor, Whom would Rev. Feldmeyer torture (Journal, 13 October, 2006)? Let us define what we mean by “torture.” Less amorphous is this definition of torture: “the ripping of appendages from a body, the slicing of a live un-anesthetized body into parts, and the crushing of the skull.” That simple definition describes, […]
4 January, 2013 Dear Editor, It is often difficult for people to see the folly of their own times. German philosophers speak of the Zeit Geist (the “time ghost” or “spirit of the time”) in which certain prejudices take root and fads prevail to the point of radically, even if temporarily, altering the mindset of […]
19 March, 1996 Dear Op-Ed editor: A short piece on the ongoing mischief of Reno’s VAAPCON in Norfolk. $5 Million for $5 Hundred? The feds, having plundered the lives of decent citizens for 14 months (including the 2-month jailing of Cheryl Richardson), have moved on to Norfolk. The conclusion of that abuse of power in […]
25 May, 2011 What was the matter with Joplin? Why all the nasty wind? Of course, we who are not speaking as prophets of God can only speculate about the occasion for disasters. When are such devastating weather-related events “natural disasters”? And when ̶ judgments? Let us propose that there are no “natural disasters” since […]
CACN, Spring, 1997 In concert with one of the fundamental laws of theological liberalism, the pope is fighting the death penalty. He opposes capital punishment for people who commit capital crimes. Three times in 1996, the pope sought to intercede in U.S. executions. The latest beneficiary, Joseph O’Dell, was convicted of raping, sodomizing, and strangling […]
19 May, 2004 Dear Editor, I was grateful for the rebuke from Bob Robinson of “the Left” – he did not so name them- (see “Modern day My Lai a Hypocrisy,” WNJ, 19 May). There are those who hypocritically find atrocities in anything our soldiers did in Viet Nam while overlooking the super-holocaust deeds of […]
17 July 2007 To bar or not to bar the (Confederate) flag at fair booths is the question asked and answered by the editor (Journal, 17 July 2007). Mr. Huffenberger alleges the flag to be “an emblem of slavery,” a “racist symbol” unbefitting the “fairground landscape.” Before attempting to utter a word in defense of […]
My local paper expresses the same intrigue that seems to possess the nation: Mass murders and apocalyptic Mayan speculations. Page 4 of the [Wilmington News] Journal on the eve of destruction (20 December) features an AP article, “Newtown demands we change,” which, as one might expect, calls for a crack-down on access to weapons. Another […]
