Don’t need window clings to ID gays | Letter
Editor,
What happened to the idea that people are free to choose who they are?
Putting window clings on businesses to let gays/lesbians know where they are welcome to shop is the most juvenile and ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
‘Homos’ belong in the closet, ladies at home | Letter
Editor,
Given the recent nasty and uncalled for attacks in our local liberal/communist media on our gallant U.S. Navy, I just had to comment. As a retired Navy chief I’ve seen my share of anti-American crap in Whidbey newspapers, but the latest attacks on “the sound of freedom” take the cake.
Playhouse helps escape daily grind | Letter
Editor,
My wife and I had a recent opportunity to attend Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Whidbey Playhouse.
The play is directed by Stephen James Anderson and produced by Allenda Jenkins, and I can’t say enough about the event.
OLF noise abuses Central Whidbey | Letter
Editor,
I’m sure Joe Kunzler’s May 15 letter to the editor meant to provide accurate information, even though failing in many areas.
Pray privately, but please leave religion out of public forums | Letter
Editor,
Pastor Lawler should feel perfectly free to pray privately or in his church to whatever imaginary deity he adores.
He has no right, however, to prosthelytize his faith to a captive audience gathered for the secular business of running the city’s government.
The decision to sue City of Oak Harbor is not Cladoosby’s alone | Letter
The decision to sue City of Oak Harbor is not Cladoosby’s alone
Editor,
Regarding the letter by Rollanda Sitko in the Whidbey News-Times on May 1 entitled “Can’t afford to support tribal casino suing city,” the City of Oak Harbor was warned by archaeologists that there is a burial ground in the area of Pioneer Way.
You can’t expect the tribe to know where all their ancestors are buried.
Support military, join Navy League | Letter
Editor;
I thank Mr. Van Voorst for his letter asking (for) more boisterous support of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
There was one point that Mr. Van Voorst raised that I feel needs empathizing, namely the NAS Whidbey encroachers’ desire to close NAS Whidbey Island.
Predicts P8-As will displace Growlers | Letter
Editor,
Personal projection — The EA-18G Growlers will be reassigned to Lemoore Naval Air Station and Oceana Naval Air Station once the P8s begin arriving.
Clings would help target spending | Letter
Editor,
In reference to the idea that businesses should be able to refuse service to whomever they choose, I’m sorry to say I agree.
They should be able to pick to whom they offer their services.
Gibbons should be Oak Harbor's next schools chief | Letter
Editor,
Twenty years ago I wrote a letter to the Whidbey News-Times in support of Rick Schulte for school superintendent.
Administration lied about Benghazi | Letter
Editor,
It is now abundantly clear that the Obama Administration lied to the American public about the Benghazi Consulate terrorist attack and engaged in a pre-election cover-up.
Abundantly clear to those of us who still care about truth in government that is.
